Translation note:
“Kad Se Slika Iskrivi Dovoljno” is Serbo-Croatian and translates to “When the Image Warps Enough.”
The phrase suggests distortion of perception — reality bending until truth becomes unrecognizable.
Description:
Kad Se Slika Iskrivi Dovoljno (“When the Image Warps Enough”) is a bleak and introspective release from Arjen, where black metal serves as a medium for fractured perception and inner disintegration. The album feels hallucinatory and inward-facing — reality slowly unraveling under emotional and psychological pressure.
Cold, melancholic tremolo riffs drift through dense layers of atmosphere, carried by restrained yet persistent drumming. Vocals emerge distantly, as if filtered through memory and distortion rather than direct expression. The pacing is patient and immersive, allowing tension to build gradually and sink deep rather than explode outward.
Rather than overt aggression, the album’s power lies in its sense of unease and erosion — black metal as slow collapse, where identity blurs and certainty dissolves. The soundscape feels warped and unstable, mirroring the album’s thematic focus on perception breaking apart.
