I've been hunting for this debut album from Videograve for a while, it was released on tape by Living Tapes - and finally got it. Really amazing collage of witch house sound and darker synthwave, with some industrial and EBM influences scattered around. Fans of their fellow label-mates SURVIVE and Mellow Grave should definitely check this one out. Beautiful, cinematic intro, followed by my fav track from the duo "Yerfukkked", such a banger, super catchy melody backed with raspy, creepy vocals. The latter shine also on "Collateral Murder", which sounds like a proto-CRAVE track. Overall it's a fantastic album, and personally my fav in their discography.
