finnish experimental artist Niko Skorpio has a new piece entitled "The hidden nameless" out via Foreshadow Productions.

With certain haunting Lovecraftian flavour, the album captures the ears of imaginative listeners with its extreme deepness and undoubtedly frightening atmosphere."

Absolutely horrid. This sounds like a bunch of white-boy trustafarians got together in their dorm room, dug out a bong and started playing with the fancy synthesizers mom and dad bought them. Kinda like the worst possible parts of Pink Floyd vocals (with a heavy finnish accent) backed by some annoying jam-band.
