![]() Due to their collective nature, most of them do not completely overlap with each other. It seems to be technically, atmospheric, sometimes a bit brutal and with a lot of effects, although this collection of tracks (because even the old "Today In Battle" got here) more resembles outlines than proper compositions. Unfortunately, the music itself is much less impressive. "Earth Base One" on the one hand tries to show what the fourth Nocturnus album could look like, on the other hand, it can bring to mind the modernization of patents from "Ethereal." (through much more guitar twists and fast blasting), and on the third, it makes the impression.underproduced and released as a collection of recordings from different years! But there is no doubt about one thing, Ed Mowery's vocal form is still in style - both growls and clean vocals are really good. Is it good? And this is where one wonders, because the album basically raises more doubts than clear answers. As I have already mentioned, "Ethereal Tomb" is a longplay, which - although very good - neither at the time of its premiere nor nowadays does not cause much excitement (except for the disgust related to personal battles), but with this album "Earth Base One" has the most in common. ![]() While in the case of Nocturnus AD and their return "Paradox" there was no shortage of interest and charming, sentimental journeys, it's hard to say that anyone was waiting for Tiwanaku's debut. However, in 2022 there was a breakthrough, because this American band, led by Ed Mowery, debuted with a completely new line-up with the album "Earth Base One". Little was known about it, it was difficult to predict its future, and the music itself was probably heard by only a few. Okay, people like Richard Christy, James Murphy, Michael Estes, Wade Black and the aforementioned Mike Davis managed to join to the band in this nothingness, but apart from the 2003 demo and the 2009 single, Tiwanaku functioned as a ghost band. The situation was slightly different with Ed Mowery, who since the "Nocturnus" ep and the "Ethereal Tomb" longplay (by the way, these are really solid releases, although quite unlucky from the perspective of the atmosphere that prevailed in the band) decided to break these personnel battles already in 2003, creating the band Tiwanaku and.ended up in the underground for many years. After the split-up of the false (and hopefully last!) incarnation of Nocturnus in 2002, Louis Panzer, Sean McNenney and - halfly - Mike Davis broke up with music, and in the following years they were most eager to legal battles against Mike Browning (one of the main co-founders of Nocturnus) so that he could not use this name for a long time, even with the addition of AD. ![]()
