On his fourth album, "Reinos da Mente" (Realms of Mind), ZandoZ Corp. presents songs that mix futuristic worlds with ethnic and tribal rhythms and elements, building the soundtrack for a chaotic reality, exorcised by Neoshamanism.
Archaic Rhythmic Technology merges with modern frequencies in songs full of melodies to awaken our subconscious, allowing us to create Mental Realms of Light and Shadow.

The album opens with “Lux Inferia” - a cold hypnotic theme that plunges us into the leitmotif of a dissociative melody. Contours of ghosts loom in imagination: they dance in the moonlight to the rhythm of otherworldly dimension. From the first minutes we begin to understand that we've opened the door to a dark and unknown world, permeated by the sacred.

And the next “O Sonho de Kali” even builds confidence in that – the track sounds intense and rhythmically chaotic, percussions are like raindrop splashes in stormy weather.

Third “Sons of the Ocean” reveals the imaginary world from a completely different point of view: melodically insightful and compositionally thoughtful, it leads us to the contemplation of ascending shapes over the ocean water expanse.

“How To Enjoy This Dream” is a journey track. You rush through wild dynamics in a space corridor outlining with your imagination the dancing shadows that are trying to corner you.

Exponential “The Long Way to the Sun” is a track of a borderline state: its aggressive noise with industrial rhythmic structure crashes down upon us and we can define desperate screams in its sound framed by a heartrending melody.

“Ânima-Lâmina” is another otherworldly sounding thing. Due to its viscous structure, it plunges us into a quagmire and after that raises to the thunderous sky with its ambient elements. So it has completely dissociating nature not leaving a single grain of stability in listener's perception. Specifically, by the viscosity of the sound, this track remindes me of Bipol.

Next comes "Ventre Estelar", an ambient digression with a creepy touch which gives a little respite so the contrasting “Linha-Conducta” can then drop its pure industrial power on the listener. This uncomplicated track gives way to the pretty much cyberpunk “Divinacientia” with another sprinkle of great noise-sounding viscosity.

"Holo-Magnetic" is also viscous, peremptory with its sound and plodding with rhythmic structure. With this track “Reinos da Mente” reaches its peak intension.

”Os Jardins de Nanã” is a logical epilogue of the album, an industrial piece with howling winds of noise accompanied by singing of a desperate melody.

The album closes with “Axis-Torus” - another ambient creepy thing that is ruthlessly distorted by an uncontrolled resonant buzz at the end: it sounds like as if it was the author's afterword.

My humble conclusion: the album is holistic, atmospheric, dirty-sounding and industrially dynamic, it takes the listener on a really fascinating journey to the fierce landscapes of a sacred world.
Excellent album for a tribal&industrial fan.
