Spectral Lore/Jute Gyte - Helian (I, Voidhanger, 2018)

Jute Gyte is one of my new faves since that gibberish album he put out last year that I liked a lot (not in time to get it on the year end list unfortunately) and his track here is psychotic in all the right places. Both artists' tracks are 20 minutes long and both start with the same chord progression before spouting off in different directions. Jute Gyte's is overloaded with drum machine (that's a drum machine right?) fury, nasty vox and totally bizarre keyboard riffs. The Spectral Lore track takes a looong time and a lot of riffing to get going before combusting into a doomy, luddite piece, very spaced out and dissonant. But I gotta give the heavyweight belt to my man Jute, those keyboards are so insanely bizarre and dare I say catchy (not to mention the riffs) that I'm spellbound.
