Yes, I'm stacking up posts during a time when most people don't give a shit about the internet at all. But who cares? I'm just happy to get at least most of my 2025 reviews done within the year.
And who would have thought, but the very last one of those is of course dedicated to the Dutch duo which always delivers something on December 31st every year?
DEAD NEANDERTHALS - Evocations (download) (2025)
With this mini album Dead Neanderthals provide a digital supplement to their latest album "Incantations". Which means: two more tracks of ultra-minimal tribal drumming and synth Drone goodness.
I don't know if these two evocations have the same practical use as the four incantations from the album, since conjuring both the Momentary Divine and the Everlasting Spirit doesn't really sound helpful for any daily chore, while riding a Spectral Steed and turning men into swine are activities I could practice at least twice a week.
But aside from that these track are a cool extension to the predecessing album. And in a manner fitting to the release date at the very end of the year, this EP may have the best ending of all releases I've heard in 2025. Such a dry yet satisfying boom - and that's it. Perfection.
