Eugene Critchley's third full length is a massive set of utterly despondent DNW dedicated to illuminating various modes of pessimistic thought and the enervating nature of existence. Across four lengthy walls of emptiness and bass-drenched sorrow, the suffering inherent in the act of living becomes apparent. It has been remarked that no true pessimist ever commits suicide; "Pessimism Totale" takes that statement as a challenge and looks to force consideration on that matter, defiantly asking, "Why
not commit suicide in the face of endless misery and sorrow?" Is there a point to life when life is only a collage of hurts and regrets? Camus' solution, that life should be met with scorn, rings hollow to me, as scorn doesn't much matter to a universe utterly indifferent to human feeling. This life is nothing but ache, nothing but yearning. This life is
nothing.
