Anenzephalia : Kaltwelt [2012]

Artist: Anenzephalia
Title:  Kaltwelt.
Year: 2012    
Label: Tesco Organisation/TESCO 089
Genre: Industrial, Death Industrial
Quality: 256 kbps


1. Stahlmessias II - 07:08
2. Frostschrae - 04:29
3. Nihilist's Sermon - 05:12
4. Aes - 06:03
5. Bodies Of Gold - 05:26
6. Mind Kalvary - 06:50
7. Saefe - 03:32
8. Paradies - 04:49
9. Kaltwelt - 04:51

Anenzephalia have been around for quite some time now, and Michel Keck of Genocide Organ fame has clearly brokered a strange project for me to engorge myself with. Kaltwelt is a highly diverse creation that manages to both evolve and devolve over the 50 minutes of time that it occupies. The album is steeped in a highly caustic atmosphere that reeks of death and dystopia.  The use and abuse of distorted vocals over a myriad of different shapes and sounds gives this album a rather exquisite sound that is far from easily absorbed by the common industrial noise connoisseur. Over the entirety of the album, the rhythm and structure evolves continuously. In the opening chapter, we encounter the dystopian celebration of “Stahlmessias II”, whose intricate mix of hauntingly distant vocals, irregular chimes and pulsating beats summon a genuinely disturbing atmosphere. “Frostschrae” delivers a howling, agonising mechanical background over odd tape-recorded voices speaking of barbed wire and the void. “Nihilist’s Sermon” brings out the worst of the more serene with a slow vibrating lull and more of the heavily distorted voices that call for the listener to pay attention to their sinister message.

Theologian : Finding Comfort In Overwhelming Negativity [2012]

1     Fighting For Nothing                                        11:19
2     All I See Is You                                                11:11
3     Finding Comfort In Overwhelming Negativity     15:08
4     In The Moral Leper Colony                               14:40

I've been listening to the album on repeat for a couple hours now, and it's fair to say that my expectations have been greatly exceeded. This album is everything I was expecting and more. Much more. It can be difficult to do anything in the field of dark ambient that sounds particularly new or groundbreaking, but Finding Comfort in Overwhelming Negativity is like nothing I've ever heard before. It is as bleak and dark as anything I've heard, but what separates it from the pack is the emotion that Leech has obviously put into this record. One can only manipulate and warp synths and electronics in so many ways, but Theologian has managed to put so much of himself into this record that I have a hard time listening to it without being physically and emotionally moved in various ways. The hard-edged synths on the first track, "Fighting For Nothing" provide that almost monolithic death industrial vibe that fans of Navicon Torture Technologies will recognize, and as you're dragged through the dense, repetitive power electronics of this record, you get the feeling on numerous occasions that perhaps the record is not as much of a downer as the title would indicate. But time and again that suspicion is proven wrong, as you are inevitably dragged through the depths of resentment, hatred, despair, and finally, hopelessness.

It certainly colours within the lines of a death industrial opus, but it does so with an artistic flourish that’s missing from many such releases. There is only one term to describe what’s going on here, and it’s dark; dark like the muck at the bottom of a swamp, dark like the cancerous grease on a coal miner’s face, dark like the landscape after a forest fire. No hopeful shaft of light penetrates the sulfurous clouds for even a moment of the album’s eight tracks. The tracks seem to form a terse narrative of a mind going through the depths of depression. There is a thematic continuity between titles like ‘Nothing Matters’, ‘I’m Not Fine’ (my personal favourite track), and ‘No One Can Help You’

A fog of discordant drones, sometimes swelling to a near-orchestral crescendo, binds the album together in a sinister soundtrack that will be music to the ears of fans of Megaptera, Negru Voda, Steel Hook Prostheses, and IRM (particularly the classic Oedipus Dethroned). It has that same balance of menace and majesty at its core, overlaid with groans, creaks, rattles and anguished howls like a recording from Hell’s plumbing system. Rhythms roil from the abyss with the plodding metre of forced labour. It’s not something that breaks new ground, but I really appreciate the effort that’s been taken to get an effective range of sound, and to mix them in such a way that everything has a space in the final product. Special thanks from me for not boosting the vocals too high in the mix, which is a pet peeve of mine, even though a lot of people aren’t bothered by it.

This is the sort of release that feels right at home on Malignant Records, America’s long-standing purveyor of where-happiness-goes-to-die ambient and industrial, sliding deftly down the razor blade that separates explosive walls of sound and subterranean murk. Solid.

Analfabetism ‎: Av Hjord Är Du Kommen [2015]

1     Hundår                     5:43
2     Den Vägen Vandra     7:56
3     Illdåd                        6:15
4     På Dina Bara Knän     6:51
5     Träldom                    5:42
6     I Vredens Tid             6:05
7     Under Hjorden           7:14

Fredrik Djurfelt’s been in the industrial game for a while; even though it’s only the second release under his Analfabetism project, Av Hjord är du Kommen feels very much like a consolidation of his work as Knös and Instans, the noisier and more experimental counters to his more immediate (though no less abrasive) work in Severe Illusion. Av Hjord är du Kommen makes minor adjustments to Djurfelt’s template of power electronics and dark ambient-inflected industrial, imbuing Analfabetism with a touch more direction and purpose without forsaking its dedication to noise.

If there’s one thing all Djurfelt’s work shares, it’s a resistance to cheap shock or sheer volume as a substitute for more subtle means of disquieting listeners. “Den vägen vandra” could almost be mistaken for a pure dark ambient track were it not for the full range of grinding feedback and violently tremoring frequencies which adorn its minimal rhythmic portions. The piece takes a simple, almost reverential pulse of static and processed strings as its guideline, but rather than ever letting it stand on its own sends a rattling cascade of chirps and klaxons clattering in syncopation with that foundation, sounding like a rainstick from the depths of hell.

That sense of textural and rhythmic (if not melodic) harmony guides much of the record. Compared with the previous, self-titled Analfabetism LP, Av Hjord är du Kommen is a more fully integrated listen. Rather that setting up a swarm of crackles, percussion and feedback zig-zagging against each other, Djurfelt’s aligning the static, croaks, and clanks in a more harmonious pattern, producing a more fatalistic than chaotic vibe. There was always a sanguine sense of intelligibility to Analfabatism‘s structures despite the fractured surface; the landscape of Av Hjord är du Kommen‘s textures are just being brought into alignment with that deeper, churning inevitability.

But at the end of the day, we’re still dealing with industrial noise. Uncompromising, indifferent, abrasive: whatever you want to call it, one knows it when one hears it, and Djurfelt knows how to deliver. Never showy, never reactionary, the grim engines of discord Djurfelt has harnessed churn onward on Av Hjord är du Kommen, spurned only by their own inevitability.

 “Stop fearing death” - Belgium producer Laurent Delogne will surprise many listeners with his radical reinvention of Le Moderniste’s style on the mysteriously titled “Desistere Mortem Timere”: The tough industrial rhythms are reduced to putrefied debris, instead this is almost classical death industrial, a marriage of pitch black ambience with the aggression of power electronics – albeit in a contemporary production, thus providing an intense listening experience, and real hellride through the evils that men do. Following the rhythmic impact of his 2013 HANDS release “Too Rough Is Never Enough“, Le Moderniste dives deep into the darkness with this follow-up. Starting with crackle and hiss, “Desistere Mortem Timere” fathoms the realms of death industrial, with throbbing bass structures, desolate ambience and walls of distortion. Nevertheless, it’s primarily the blackness of the bottomless pit impregnating the entire 74 minutes of “Desistere Mortem Timere”, an expression of tortured souls, and one of the most uncompromisingly sinister releases on HANDS for a while

Info
Now 6 years since their last opus, we present to you the new masterpiece from one of Sweden’s most notorious act. So, Karjalan Sissit wants you dead, and after going through these new tracks you might not cease to exist but will definitely feel the blow and sheer brutality these new tracks exude. Intense, bitter and heavier than ever, this new work is to us the epitome of the Karjalan Sissit sound. It’s all still there, the pounding metallic percussions, deep angst-ridden atmospheric passages and all is held together by Make Pesonen’s angrier than ever vocals. Karjalan Sissit is back, and more pissed off then ever, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Funerary Call : The Black Root [2004]

Funerary Call is the black ambient project of Harlow MacFarlane who also performs more varied death industrial sounds under the moniker Sistrenatus. Although Funerary Call is an older project of his, he is still active and churning out new material.

The sound that Funerary Call employs on The Black Root is somewhere between the ambience of Inade and the more industrial sounds of Stratvm Terror. If either of those projects appeal to you, I would strongly recommend picking this up, a very dark yet intriguing work, and yet another great release from MacFarlane.

Mz.412 : Nordik Battle Signs [1999]

NORDIK BATTLE SIGNS has been released back in 1999 and it sees the industrial noise level increasing thanks to a massive use of distortion and feedback. It's like MZ.412 wanted to destabilize the audience making them lose their consciousness. Harsh noises, power electronics, malevolent vocals and industrial drumming are the core of these recordings which see also as guests, Ordo Equilibrio on vocals on the completed version of the long deleted 'Legion Ultra' 7", here included as bonus track and on "Satan Jugend II: Global konquering".

Burial Hex : Angelic Gematria [2011]

Master Ruby reports in chants of pale light from the nadirs of the heavens. Cannot recommend this work enough, his austere from-the-occult-to-the-ecclesiastical angle approaches the same kinds of realms as recent Xela, only with a more firmly blackened root; with hollow whispers from the corners of vast cathedrals and great organs ringing from the mouths of the saints' agonies. Moves on the latter track into black romantic synth work akin to a more Goblin-ish version of his work seen in tracks like "Go Crystal Tears." Brilliance.

Steel Hook Prostheses Discography [2001 - 2009]

Hook Prostheses was conceived around 1999 by myself J. Stillings. My partner in our fledgling CD-R label Cyber Blast Records L. Kerr was soon recruited into the project. We self released a cd-r entitled “Apotemnophilia”. This recording was really experimental in nature and was all over the place. Soon a solid sound started to take shape and we were well on our way to something really Unique and powerful. Our future releases on various labels throughout the world started to evolve and progress into what it is today. I can best describe our sound as Heavy Electronics, a combination of power electronics, death industrial, dark ambient, and harsh noise.
