Dreissk - to nowhere (2017)

'To Nowhere' is the 3rd full-length album from Undead Labs sound designer/composer Kevin Patzelt's dreissk project. The album features Patzelt's now recognizable post-apocalyptic slant on ambient, post-rock and industrial motifs. Not as foreboding as its predecessors 'edge_horizon' and 'the finding', 'To Nowhere's' thematic core is that of a journey. But to where? This ideal is what dreissk has always left up to the listener. To Nowhere is a celebration of the album as a format by eschewing sporadic changes that are often present in post-industrial music which gives each track time to stretch and breathe into full-on explorations of movement, tension, and ephemeral moments of optimism. The highlight of To Nowhere is the trilateral "A Long Road/Of Approaching Light/Near The Shore" being a journey unto itself. With "Near The Shore" possibly being the most widescreen ambient piece in dreissk's catalog.
