Review written by Jennifer Hor (Australia) for the zine The Sound Projector on May 25th:
"AN INTRIGUING UNIVERSE OF RAW BM SAVAGERY AND CHILLY DARK AMBIENT
It's a journey into the farthest, deepest realms of dark space, though very different from other sonic cosmic voyages I've followed in the recent past: "Creepy Environment Obscurity", the debut release from new-ish Indonesian atmo-BM / dark ambient act Cosmic Obscurity, initially comes over as a brooding though rather chilly drone ambient meditation on the vastness and depth of the universe. In the space of a couple of minutes, you're pulled deep into this work's embrace where clouds of dust float through space and reflect light from a million distant stars onto rocks and various other flotsam and jetsam in the vacuum. Then, in the title track, having been lulled into serenity, we suddenly face a barrage of sharp, cruel, seething raw BM guitar noise froth, somewhere in which demonic ghost voices might be present. Strange booming drone noise, hissing static (which might be blast-beat percussion hidden in the mix) and sinister sighs and mutters more sensed than heard make up much of this lengthy BM ambient instrumental work. All the while, the clean keyboard tones continue to sparkle and drift in the deep background.

From here on, with "Black Hole Explosion" and "Constellation Cygnus", the recording either bounces between two very different poles of cold dark-space ambient drone and burning raw BM frenzy backed by distant thundering percussion fury and mysterious voices that rise from and fall back into the ongoing BM sizzle, or runs through both musical extremes, each contrasting with and complementing the other. You come to realise that the roaring BM noise and the apparently serene, pure-toned dark ambient are mirrors of and to one another, and both are the same entity and/or its process of becoming/being. Without one of these poles, the other pole simply could not exist. And so the recording takes us on its journey through this dimension in which creation and collapse occur simultaneously, light and dark co-exist at once, and chaos and order form the normal state out of which continuous cycles of life, death and rebirth occur.

The actual music itself, if you want to drill into its details, is more or less formless, with no clear riffs or melodies to hang onto – and yet, sizzling, thumping and floating as it does, this recording has a clear, unmistakable identity and a strong sense of direction towards a goal. What that goal is, only the music and its hidden voices know – as listeners and passengers, we will only find out by following the music all the way through and discovering its purpose that way. I suspect that whatever I've found in listening to this release won't be exactly the same as what other fellow travellers will find.

I must say though that, however inscrutable and mysterious "Creepy Environment Obscurity" remains after several rounds, it is a most beautiful and intriguing work of black ambient noise art – at once eerie and majestic, calm and inviting, demonic and malevolent."
