Purgatory Flows by Impermanence
Bangkok, Thailand based Impermanence is a HNW act operated by Visarute Virojanawat (Chamber of Tapeworms, infect this pink server!). Purgatory Flows is the debut physical release under the act name, presenting two twenty-minute tracks respectively Underflow and Overflow. While Underflow is a mellow and relaxing wall, Overflow offers a harsher one, yet both share their crackling attribute.

Review from Noise Not Music by Jack Davidson:
Despite Bangkok artist Visarute Virojanawat’s solo moniker being Impermanence, the walls he crafts are often quite tangible and even enduring, leaving behind fragments and disturbances in their formidable wake. By this I mean you can feel the forward motion of his stagnant sonic creations (paradoxical, I know), and especially on Purgatory Flows there’s a sense of weight, of gravity, of presence, that evokes the possibility of a lasting impact. “Underflow” is reserved and meditative, but also imbued with plenty of physicality, molded with grumbling crackles and a restless, kinetic clatter that provides much of the aforementioned illusion of motion. As the track progresses, this latter element almost seems to grow more prominent, its volatile textural monopolizing the sound space. This is a good lead-in to “Overflow,” which blasts into existence with a brash yet spacially contained roil of crunching noise. The track shares its predecessor’s sense of movement, but the two differ in their posture: where “Underflow” was quiet and reticent yet concealed a physical force, “Overflow” hides its insubstantial weakness behind a heavy curtain of distortion.
