Paralysis is one such band whose obscurity is difficult to understand, given that they have made such amazing music—«Patrons of the Dark» is a very good record, indeed.
This album makes you feel like I’m being slowly dragged into a dark cave inhabited by flesh-eating demons, miles and miles below the surface of the Earth. It’s like knowing those demons are about to catch your scent and then gut you without hesitation – this is an album about those moments before the demons rip you apart, and maybe also about those few moments when your severed head still has vision.
The string section is hazy and murky, with lots of palm muting interspersed with rhythmic grinding and down-plucking that is very unsettling and disturbing. The consistent, crisp mid-tempo drums really make you want to bob your head until you lose your brains; the pops are used sparingly, making them stand out like a decapitated giraffe.
