Hi Neophyte,
I just listen carefully to your Demo, and frankly for me it's far from being minimalist, I'm not trying to put a label on your music because I think you've summed it up well, it's a mix, a very good mix even of several style.
you embark on Death, Black and all in a perfect Osmose, your 4 tracks sends heavy personal I had a crush on The Road, but I appreciate all of your Demo. Your voice may be a little withdrawn at times for my taste and given the potential, it deserves to be more forward but it's not very serious and it may be such a voluntary choice on your part. In short good sound and more French than the people, I am in the south west of France. I will follow your next sound carefully I'm on Bandcamp me it's Funerarium.
See you soon friend!
