Born Erased – Birds Drink My Blood (Digital/CD Album – Cyclic Law)
Born Erased is a Bulgarian solo project inspired by Angel Simitchiev. He released his debut album on the French label BLWBCK in 2023 and returned late last year with a follow-up album, now released on Cyclic Law.
The six tracks lead the listener down a dark path that lies somewhere between dark ambient and cinematic soundscapes. This path is not only dark but also hostile, accentuated by drone-like percussion in the background. Overwhelming waves of sound descend upon the listener, drawing them into a true nightmare experience. At times, this dark music takes on a floating quality without ever becoming relaxing. Born Erased keeps you alert and stirs your darkest fantasies. Each track has something to offer without ever reaching a full climax. Notice by the way that Mondkopf and Vanity Productions have been featured each on one cut.
For me, this album serves as a stimulating introduction to a promising artist. (Rating:8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
