The fifth album of this solo act.

The fifth full-length offering from this enigmatic Saudi Arabian solo act solidifies its position as a trailblazer in the experimental and post black metal realm. With “never forget youre alone in this world”, Solianic Paradisiacal Mundanity ventures even further into the chaotic yet mesmerizing interplay of sonic textures, evoking a deeply personal and disquieting auditory landscape.

The album builds upon the artist’s prior work, the densely layered and conceptually audacious “BunyipP_umbilicalL_C0rdD 11:56:53”. However, this release sees the act shedding some of its overt chiptune elements in favour of a more fluid integration of electronic and ambient influences, creating an aesthetic that feels simultaneously alien and intimately fragile. From abrasive sparse black metal textures, although sparse, to moments of sparse, contemplative ambient, but never profusely calm, the album oscillates between extremes, maintaining a sense of disarray that is entirely intentional.

Much like the previous record, this album deconstructs traditional black metal conventions, reducing them to raw fragments and reassembling them in ways that feel simultaneously unrecognizable yet partially rooted in the genre’s ethos.
Vocals here remain an integral yet understated element, woven into the fabric of the compositions as if they were just another texture among the swirling chaos but often materialized through melancholic shrieks, they feel like fragmented whispers from another plane, adding an unsettling intimacy to the music. The lyrical themes, while obscured, seem to explore isolation, existential dread, and fleeting moments of transcendence.

This record is a sonic labyrinth with its disparate influences coalescing into something far greater than the sum of its parts. Even its most abrasive sections carry an underlying sense of beauty, revealing the artist’s commitment to crafting a deeply emotive and challenging experience with its dense, unorthodox structures that demand patience and active listening, but where those willing to engage with its depths will find themselves rewarded with an album that feels both alien and profoundly human, proving once again that the boundaries of black metal, or music as a whole, are only as restrictive as the artist’s imagination.
