Dnepr’s music is dark, dimly lit and at times ominous, but it never sinks into mere sludge or bombast. From the menacing swamp, shapes rise—brief flashes of ethereal beauty—like two monsters sharing a kiss before slipping back into ground fog and atonal delirium. On Songs of No Return, Dnepr unveils a singular blend of guitar drones, airy pads and dry, unadorned drums: impressive and oppressive, yet unexpectedly stunning.
