Here Be Monsters - In The Ruins Of Ostende 1918

Review by Marques Brooks

Here Be Monsters' album In The Ruins Of Ostende 1918 is a hauntingly beautiful piece of work that takes the listener on a journey through time and space. The album is a tribute to the Belgian city of Ostende, which was heavily damaged during World War I, and the songs reflect the feelings of despair and hopelessness that must have been felt by the people who lived through that time.

The album is a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, with haunting vocals and atmospheric instrumentals. The songs range from the melancholic "The Last Days Of Summer" to the more upbeat "The Dance Of Death". Each song is carefully crafted, with layers of sound that create a rich, immersive experience for the listener.

The album's title track, "In The Ruins Of Ostende 1918", is a standout, with its eerie synth sounds and haunting vocals. It perfectly captures the feeling of being in a city that has been destroyed by war, and the sense of loss that accompanies it.
