Editorial Reviews

It's impossible to truly classify where he is coming from musically, but it would be safe to say his fans would also have records from Neurosis, Tim Hecker, Sunn O))) & Fennesz in their collection. Where "Theory of Machines" came sterilized in fluorescent light, "By The Throat" is blood red & cloaked in shadow

4.0 out of 5 stars exploring the frozen night forest..., December 18, 2009
This review is from: By the Throat (Audio CD)
2nd release from experimental Icelandic artist mixes processed ambient/noise electronics with

animal sounds & other organic sonic sources to create a work that is both subtle & invasive, with

a harrowing aura of dangerous beauty. Think Coil meets Philip Glass, late at night in a dark

forest.

5.0 out of 5 stars METAWolves: BY THE THROAT, November 25, 2011
This review is from: By the Throat (Audio CD)
All you have to do is close your eyes while you listen to this, and you will see something. Every time I listen, it's a new experience; it's terrifying and beautiful. I am seriously convinced that Ben Frost actually recorded images and turned their waves into sound, because that's how sharp the pictures are in my mind while I listen. And each sound grips you-- it is not hard to fall into this music.

If there is one album I could recommend to anyone, I think it would be this one. It's not an "easy" listening experience by pop music standards, but it's easy to be captured by it. I, in my slumbering lifetime, have listened to nothing I can compare it to in sheer density, beauty, and immersion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better Live!, September 11, 2010
By 
Lorac (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: By the Throat (Audio CD)
Just saw songs from this album performed live at Sonar Chicago. It was an incredible experience - the bass reverberates through you and the wolf sounds send chills up your spine ... I am grateful for the opportunity to hear such rare music live in Chicago.
