 Takezo - Reality Left Behind
Release Date: October 02, 2020
Label: selfrelease
Format: Digital
Length: 42:34
Genre: Doom Metal
Origin: Kuopio, Finland

"Reality Left Behind" is the sophomore EP by Kupio's quartet Takezo. The release contains six tracks which a create a gloomy atmosphere comparable Italian Horror Doom band Bretus. Takezo construct shattering soundscapes of pitch-black down-tempo Doom Metal. This is the sound of the postapocalypse; music for the last survivors on a dead planet.


Takezo like references to catastrophies or events with a huge death toll. Thus, their debut EP "Prophecy" featured a track called 'Hiroshima'. On the new EP the band stays atomic and indulges us with the ten-minute death march 'Chernobyl'.
The atmosphere on "Reality Left Behind" is defined by pure devastation. Takezo's new EP is the soundtrack of a burning world. Also, this is one of the few releases in which monotony actually works as a stylistic device. If you want to sense a huge meteor impact on our planet in slowmotion, I recommend you to listen to "Reality Left Behind".
