The first music that I heard from Peter Nystrom was the project Each Dawn I
Die, which consisted of a handful of Dark Ambient pieces overlayed with a
variety of Science Fiction and Horror samples. Ironically, his mainstay project
Megaptera sounds almost identical. "The Curse of the Scarecrow", certainly uses
both of these elements, the overall track length for each composition is
shorter and the spoken word samples are embedded deeper into the music. He also
thickly layers the bass heavy ambience with echoed percussion and other heavily
reverbed instrumentation. Each track seems to hang in the air like the gloom on
a bleak afternoon during a week long downpour. This release is definitely the
perfect compliment to a particularly evil mood. It sounds like it is time to
plan a heinous act of terror and use this album as the soundtrack.
