Truly floored by this release. Best drum programming I’ve ever heard. The songwriting is unpredictable. Apparition alternates between melancholy and brutality without overdoing anything. Beethoven playing death metal made no sense, but then I listened. It’s accurate. Extraordinary. Metallurgical Fire
I will forever live with regret that I slept on this album for nearly a year. I will ramble with bleary eyed delirium about how freakishly good this album is to anyone who will listen. But rather than rambling here, I'll just say that The Knocking is fiendish, sinister, and dementedly delightful. Doldrum has really delivered something otherworldly with this record. You need this in your puny mortal life. reptilezoo
