The pressing, antagonistic and almost claustrophobia-inducing sounds Meander introduced us to on his Carbon album on the well-respected Low Res imprint in 2012 gets a follow-up in the form of Gazing Long into the Abyss on Ruffneck's Tainted Audio's imprint. Ophidian's Meander project serves as an outlet that allows him to take take us places his hardcore alias won't, and this eagerness to pursue the experimental shines through in the 15 tracks on Gazing Long into the Abyss. Whereas 2012's Carbon album was a foray into the more dreamy and melody driven side of breakcore, Gazing Long into the Abyss sets a much darker tone, taking drum & bass as the middle ground and sees intense experimentation in all possible directions.
