Welcome to the machine.

This is a delicate texture suspended between a colourful rendition of the rigors of contemporary music and ambient pop that somehow manages to retain a playful tone, slightly clouded by a few melancholic lines.

The real variance between a band of sophisticated copycats and this bunch is indeed intelligence.

Give a microphone to a musician and he will record the mortality that surrounds him. Give it to a musician with fear of mortality and he or she will describe what life is all about.

This is an album about diversity without intellectual compromises. It is how it is because this is the way it is. There is no re-elaboration or, worse, reinterpretation of the existing aesthetic principles.

Black Sabbath, Faith No More, Soundgarden and more: a tale of music and Independence.

A surprisingly good album that happens to make a fine soundtrack.

Listening to the entire production on offer here means delving inside an artist's trajectory. Naivety, genius and clever pop.

This is not easy music, but at the same time it is experimentalism made accessible through the artist’s cunning methods

The grey, liquid rays may envelop the bodies on stage, but the music, tonight, travels faster than the speed of light.

Quite frankly, there is nothing on Esoteric Warfare which has not been conceived, done and reiterated by the likes of Anaal Nathrakh, Ephel Duath, Sigh and Deathspell Omega.

One of the biggest contradictions in the soundtrack business is that the right music perfectly adheres to the scenes, and it does it so well that it disappears or, better, becomes one thing with the pictures.

Music can rarely get more genuinely personal than this. But when it does, this is what it sounds like.

The passing time has left the band’s musicianship untouched, so much so that one could be forgiven for occasionally thinking that, outside, on the now dark streets of London, the IRA is still planting car bombs.

More human than human.

A Minor Forest didn’t live long enough to see their craft surpass their inspiration, and for this reason their legacy is safer now than it was 20 years ago.

A 46-minute experiment and an anticipation of more things to come rarely -- very rarely -- are so beautifully crafted.
