Release Notes:
The Night TerrorsÆ debut full-length album Back To Zero introduces itself somewhat
similarly to one of GoblinÆs soundtrack releases or Jean Michel JarreÆs original
OxygΘne record. Within seconds the listener is transported to a world created entirely
by the Melbourne bandÆs synth, drum, bass and theremin combination û a place where wolves
fly rocket ships protecting helpless planet folk from intergalactic volcanic eruptions
(or any arrangement of associated descriptors). Following The Night Terrors and Lightless
EPs (released in 2002 and 2003 respectively), Back To Zero allows a greater public outside
of the Melbourne underground to experience the bandÆs manic and ethereal sound. The album
is packed with catchy and absorbing melodic passages, broken by the occasional discordant
outburst of sound. The instantly likeable tracks æEpithetÆ and æGlass EyesÆ sound akin to
the past hits of Tangerine Dream, while æThe Dream EaterÆ and æBlood And BoneÆ offer
something so simple and uniquely powerful, one wonders how the tunes havenÆt appeared
earlier. In the final quarter of the album æExistential Revelation In The Circle-Pit At
SlayerÆ combines the tightly organised with the highly experimental to produce a clash
of sounds from all directions of the genre sphere. Continuing this theme the final track
æBack To ZeroÆ shapes 20 minutes into a platform of unpredictability and sonic impulse.
The Night TerrorsÆ Back To Zero is a singularly impressive 66-minute album that should
prove to be a success with any audience across the globe.
