Obstructed is the latest EP from They Came from Hell, composers/sound-designers Philippe Gerber and Chris Gilmore. The EP marks the final chapter of releases built around their ‘Symphysiotomy’ sample library. They have previously released two EP’s ‘Osteotome’ and ‘Obstetrics’. The two-track release features one track from each of the composers. Chris Gilmore’s track, ‘The Fruit for The Tree’ is a dark orchestral affair. A simple piano melody is framed by an ominous and foreboding soundscape. As the track develops more and more industrial elements are added along with harsh strings and dark brass. Philippe Gerber’s track, ‘The Barbarian’ sees him utilize what appears to be a heavily processed choir to great effect. The “choir” sets you up for a track that ultimately goes far and away from those opening “voices''. After that moment of light, Gerber then drags that choir straight to the depths of hell, from which they will never be seen or heard from again.
