about

"The big advocat of grim wave […] black, rough, full of cracks - a great dose of music. […] [It’s] removing sunlight from every day, sinking everything into extreme electronic distortion. [...] Mesmerizing." – Artnoir (AT)

“Each swoop of harmonic progress is majestic, [...] carrying a lead vocal that verges on choral in its plumes of open vowel. […] Even in the spotlessness of silence, Vlimmer manages to wield a dramatic ambiguity." - ATTN:Magazine (UK)

"Taking on such a mammoth project is one thing, growing with the challenge throughout and not turning into boredom deserves full acknowledgment. […] This is exciting and fascinating.” – Lie in the Sound (Ger)

"Change is the constant […] Does not rehash the genre for the umpteenth time, blends elements from wave, shoegaze, electronic, post-punk, kraut, drone, pop, ambient and more into a new, eclectic and pretty black whole.”– Pretty in Noise (Ger)

"8 & 9 are important in [Vlimmer's] evolution and for the definition of a sound that has long since surpassed the clichés of the sector, for a project that continues to seduce us, […] beyond schemes. – Dark Room Magazine (Ita)

“Crazily productive, imaginative synth wizard […] The soundscapes are massive, dense, spooky, and sustained by plaintive melodious German vocals with ethereal dream-pop accents."– Igloo Magazine (USA)

"Inner security is abandoned, almost dissolving and challenging the inner self-confidence. […] Apocalyptic, surreal sound images that convey fear, violence, visions and forward-looking creative power.” – Underdog Fanzine (Ger)

“Providing thick textures and frantic moods. It’s the apocalypse told with a hum of electronica, pivoting the war pounding noise against yourself." – New Noise Magazine (USA)

“German dream-core motoric dissonant maestro” - RTRFM 92,1 (AUS)

“The music always differs slightly from the predecessors which is one of the reasons why this series remains so interesting […] Approaches the various genres in a fresh way.”– De Subjectivisten (NED)

“[Vlimmer] likes surprising his audience and changing his music. He has just released two EPs and they are no exceptions. […] His voice never disappoints.” – Labandzi Spiew (POL)

"EP 8 specifically seems to be born with the intent to summarize all the features that have made us appreciate the sound of Vlimmer. […] EP 9 instead conquers new frontiers.” – Ver Sacrum (ITA)
