PILGRIM: New World Homestead reviews
"This is night music, which ripples with your deepest and darkest doubts... Human Greed have managed to conjure up a chilling collection of audio nightmares that calls the listener back again and again to discover more layers of sonic creepiness" - Rock a Rolla
"serious and overwhelming"[...] "a hostile environment of latent violence" - Trinta de Fevereiro
"Taking atmospheric, menacing ambience to heady new depths... to create an atmosphere which could enswathe the grimmest of David Lynch's filmic output" - Boomkat
"As fitting a drama of nervous exploration and discovery, there is wonder and dread in equal measure here: Part dream, part nightmare, Pilgrim's hypnotic call inevitably lures the listener into treacherous waters before plunging them into fatal depths" - Rough Trade
CONSOLATION reviews
"A Fear filled symphony of terrors... that gradually entwines your imagination in its numerous sonic tentacles and refuses to relinquish its grip." - Edwin Pouncey, The Wire
"...a dark delight full of Stygian soundscapes" - Mojo
"A master class in claustrophobic paranoia." - BarCode Magazine
"Secures a place for Human Greed in the echelons of melancholic experimentalism". - Absorb
"Requires the patient of a saint" - Kerrang!
"Disquieting as it is exceptional... Brutally honest, enlightening and remarkable" - Dark Star
CONSOLATION has now been re-released, under licence, by OMNEMPATHY, the label founded by Michael Begg to handle all future HG and related releases.
