"New Dominions" is not a split between Locrian and Horseback, but rather a full-on collaboration that features members of both acts playing together on the record's two hauntingly bleak tracks. Not surprisingly the record is exactly what one would hope for from a collaboration between two of today's best blackened experimental artists. "The Gift" is the kind of cavernous dark soundworld that Locrian crafted on last year's "The Crystal World," while "Our Epitaph" is a doom dirge number that hypnotizes the listener, even as it marches them into an abyss of decay and demise. The only drawback to this record is that it leaves the listener needing more. Two songs of this sort of grim melancholia are simply not enough. Here is to hoping for another collaboration between these guys again, and soon.
