Review

With a rich reputation for experimental cello performances and recordings, Arne Deforce links up with Mika Vainio for a nail-biting study in re-contextualising an instrument to realise a wholly new potential. With a heavy load of distortion on top of it, Deforce's instrument sounds like a thunderous guitar on "Phlegethon (Stream Of Fire)", making for an apocalyptic opening to the album. "Styx (River Of Rage)" likewise rains down heavy amounts of squeal and squall around a searing groan of noises and processes. There are more measured moments too, such as the slowly humming "Lethe (River Of Forgetfulness) Or Oblivion" and "Cocytus (River Of Lamentation)"s uneasy trickle of sounds.
