"Do YOU like slice of life anime?!
The monotonous day by day life, waking up. getting ready for school. a walk under the sakura. lessons start and then end. now you are looking back on the sunset which has ended every day for the duration of your life...
Focused upon the subtleties, nuances, repetition and melancholia, contemplative soundtracks mixed with a bombardment of harsh and pummeling noise.
This is what HIKARI NO ITOGUCHI slams down onto the table. work which leaves a lingering nostalgia for the past, spent with the waifu."
Void Worship presents a long-awaited reissue of a sought-after HNW classic, Hikari No Itoguchi's Untitled. Overlaying melancholy piano with crushing walls, this release falls outside of what most would consider pure HNW - and yet, it somehow offers some of the purest walls one could find. Dreamy, wistful yet utterly unforgiving.
The full release can be listened to and downloaded for free on Hikari No Itoguchi's Bandcamp:
