Ainigma – Diluvium

Ainigma of Germany only released one album which is a mysterious, dark stoner rock effort. It is pure krautrock, totally explosive in terms of emotions, obviously rocking and lovely psychedelic.

“Prejudice” starts with dreamlike introspective organ atmospheres then rapidly catch the essence of a jam session, with abundant improvised Hammond organs, heavy guitars. “All Things Are Fading” is a moody, depressive but furiously rocking with damaged riffs and sad guitar solos. The closer title track, “Diluvium” is a standard heavy rock epic with melancholic guitar breaks, touching melodies, dynamic, captivating organ melodies.
