Vampire Liver Therapy‘s new album Horns to the Sky is a tour de force of originality, innovation, and all things dark wave. A Santiago, Chile-based musician, Jose Miguel Cumsille, who is the brains behind the project, has been making original music since the mid-90s, and it shows in his craftsmanship on this album.
Horns to the Sky is the second part of his ambitious project that started with the record Horns to the Ground released in 2022. In his new album, Vampire Liver Therapy explores the eternal struggle between past, present, and future. The tracks are a reflection of the human mind, questioning the future in dark ways and examining the past from a multidimensional perspective.
One of the things that stand out about this album is how effortlessly Vampire Liver Therapy blends different genres to create a sound that is uniquely his. The tracks on this album are a fusion of punk attitude, dark wave sounds, and pop-focused writing. It is a delicate balance that Vampire Liver Therapy handles expertly, making it a standout feature of the album.
Another highlight of the record is the use of synths, guitars, and bass to create a sound that is both atmospheric and immersive. From the opening track, “Rewind in Colors”, it is apparent that the album is a journey into the depths of the human psyche, a reflection of the fears and doubts that plague us all.
Vampire Liver Therapy’s vocal delivery is exceptional throughout the album. His voice is commanding and resonant, effortlessly conveying the emotions that are present in the lyrics. The production on the album is top-notch, and each track is expertly mixed, giving each instrument its space while still being part of a cohesive whole. One of the album’s most captivating tracks is the title-track “Horns to the Sky”, an anthemic song that showcases Vampire Liver Therapy’s songwriting skills.
Horns to the Sky is a masterful album that showcases Vampire Liver Therapy’s talent as a musician, songwriter, and producer. With its haunting melodies, evocative lyrics, and atmospheric production, Horns to the Sky is an album that demands repeated listens and cements Vampire Liver Therapy’s place as one of the most innovative and exciting dark wave artists of our time.
