Though their popularity continues to skyrocket, Corrupted manages to retain the mystery and non-existence that has characterised its history - Garten der Unbewusstheit sprung out of nowhere, with very little information revealed until us blogfiends got our hands on the leak. Here's the good news - Hevi and the guitarist who had supposedly left the band, did so AFTER recording this album. The bad news - there is none. Garten der Unbewusstheit continues where Corrupted left off after El Mundo Frio, though some may argue that they venture further into post- territory. The two lengthy songs here, 'Garten' and 'Gekkou No Daichi', follow a similarly structured combination of hypnotic sludge doom and placid, softer passages. The biggest 'thing' about this record is that it shows Corrupted fully embracing the progressive aesthetic their last LP hinted at, but in doing so they've had to leave behind the heaviness and brutality that characterised previous material. 'Rato Triste', anyone? I wasn't expecting the band to record something like that (or like Paso Inferior) after El Mundo Frio, but someone has to say something amidst all this praise. Nonetheless, Garten... is a Corrupted LP, and like any Corrupted LP, it is leagues beyond anything else in this genre of music. 4/5

Doom. There is a rather powerful display of energy here. It's controlled, reserved, and effective. Do not be turned away by the spacious clean guitars at the begining. Every notes seems to serve a purpose. This is doom that takes a while to build up but when you look at the whole picture, being the whole album, you'll realize how amazing this latest release by Corrupted really is. Enter these doors with open minds.

Garten Der Unbewusstheit gives Deafheaven's Roads to Judah a run for its money for the title of metal AOTY and the album's final track, the 30 minute "Gekkou No Daichi", is easily the single most powerful metal track of 2011.
