There is something unusually creepy and sophisticated about this particulur artist. If your new to industrial or strictly electronic music, than it is possible that this album (yelworC/trinity) will scare you and leave you feeling uneasy. If you've been around the block a few times, ...you'll probably find yourself wanting to play this album over and over again in your CD player. It's truly quite brilliant....and ultra dark!!!!

I must admit that this album all around is very complete. Making use of 77:18 minutes, I often find the hypnotic, tribal influenced drum synth produced beats letting my mind ease. This album really relaxes me even though it is heavier. This album is beautifully produced and it is a great piece of work. Note that I am a fan of strict grindcore/ technical / black metal genres. this album indeed is computer based, but it still hits like a sledgehammer. Enjoy!

There are pieces of music which rise above the norm and become true works of art. Miles Davis "Kind of Blue", Stevie Ray Vaughn "Couldn't Stand the Weather", Bob Marley "Legend". This is one of those. This album is staggering. The range, the sheer brutality, the madness and the subtlety is simply mind blowing. Layers upon layers, upon layers. It deserves to be listened to on a state of the art sound (or headphone) system where all the scale and sheer impact of its' glory can be experienced. This isn't light listening. It isn't something you can have on in the background. This is a turn the lights out and experience the journey and the insanity type of album. It is that good.

For those of you who have never heard yelworC before, I pitty your souls. yelworC is one of the most uncompromising dark electro bands that has ever set foot on the soil of the earth. This cd is not as industrial dace oriented as previous releases ("Blood In Face" and "Brainstorming")which inspired prolific acts such as In Strict Confidence and Hocico, but is full of mid paced pulverizing beats and chalk full of synthetic orchestration and obscure movie samples. This is one of the best releases of 2004 and this is only the first installment of a trilogy of releases which is based on Dante's Divine Comedy. If you want evil dark electronic music with beats that will drive you into the ground and a voice that sounds like it eminates from the lowest layers of hell, you will enjoy this cd. You like Skinny Puppy? Buy this cd, you will eat this up. As an avid fan of black metal and industrial music I can solemnly recommend this cd to anyone that is a fan of dark music in general.

YelworC is re-emerging after almost a decade of being out of the scene. What was once a band comprised of duo Peter Devlin and Dominik van Reich, is now a solo comprised of Peter Devlin alone, who still remains as yelworC.

The name yelworC is Crowley spelled backwards. Yes, Aleister Crowley inspires this band, and Dante's Divine Comedy inspired the recent CD, Trinity. The symbolism here? I feel that the inspiration of Dante provided Devlin with an outlet to burst out of his cocoon and perhaps this gave him a release of sorts. Either providing the listeners with the idea that it has been hell being away for so long, or "Look out, yelworC is baaaaaaaaaaack!"

Whatever the case maybe, yelworC's new album Trinity is definitely hard hitting.
The trinity that unfolds here is Dark, deep, and disturbing. Dante would be proud that he inspired such work and creativity. The tunage here will take you on a dark and hellish ride, and it is not for everyone.

The artwork on the CD and CD booklet are magnificent. With cartoonish images of what I conceive to be various levels of hell and other various dark art depictions, provided by Ingo Römling (monozelle.de) only adds to the mystery and darkness this album provides. The CD itself, if held in the right light, will show you a magick chart like image.
Trés cool!
If you are into dark deep and hard sounds and deeply disturbing lyrics, check this one out.I give this album 3 . I could take it or leave it. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't awe inspiring to me either. For this one, I leave you to be the judge.

Never before have I encountered music quite like this... It's very hard to even describe it. Atmospheric with elements of industrial is all i can think of. This CD is very long... Nearly 80 minutes. Yelworc has incredible talent when it comes to making music.. but when it comes to vocals.. thats another story. Thats why i gave this only 3 stars.. had it not been for the terrible vocals this CD would easily get atleast 4 stars. The music itself makes you feel like your in some village of the middle ages that is under attack.. which is a good thing. Such moody music is hard to find these days. However, like i said before.. the vocals just ruin some of the songs.
