There’s no slow introduction with Rise O Villain, it opens like a door kicked off its hinges. Right from the first moments, the album establishes a heavy, almost suffocating atmosphere that carries through all 17 tracks. Songs like “From the Depths of the Shadows” don’t just set the tone—they define the emotional landscape, while “Symphony of Agony” pushes that intensity to its peak.
At the center of the project is DESU TAEM, the collaboration between Shan Greene and Nick Greene. Their dynamic is one of the album’s strongest elements. Shan’s decades of experience give the music a grounded, almost instinctive feel, while Nick’s role as a multi-instrumentalist and engineer ensures the sound is sharp, layered, and deliberate.
The influence of Black Sabbath is evident in the album’s darker tones, but there are also moments that echo the raw unpredictability of Nirvana. Still, Rise O Villain never feels like it’s borrowing too heavily, it reshapes those inspirations into something more introspective.
By the end, what stands out isn’t just the heaviness, but the atmosphere. This is an album that demands your attention. It’s not built for casual listening—it’s built to pull you in, challenge you, and leave a lasting impression.
