A solo project from Nathaniel Dominy, whose work with both Gifts from Enola and Prayer Group has earned no small amount of praise on these pages in the past, Kircher was never going to be your run-of-the-mill side project. A clattering, noisy little bastard of an EP, this short, untitled effort is a devastating trip into Nathaniel’s psyche and, like all such records, it carries with it a brutal sense of honesty that forces you to see things through to the conclusion. Released on Sept 29 via Fisher King Records, this all-too-short effort is a work of unholy genius, tailor made for fans of bands like Botch, (early-) Swans, Cave In, and Dillinger Escape Plan. -Sonic Abuse 2023
