It’s a lot of fun, and yet another that’s unedited, save for trimming the ends… enjoy!
To be released via Translation Loss this July, “Ressentiment” is a concept record in which EAST OF THE WALL focus on a slightly different sound, integrating the use of vocals and an increased emphasis on sonic dissonance.
