  Decimus 7

  Bedrohliche Atmosphären, seltsame Melodien, Doppler Effekt-Drones, zermatschte 4/4 Beats... wie eine unseelige Koop zwischen Zoviet*France und Severed Heads.Bedrohliche Atmosphären, seltsame Melodien, Doppler Effekt-Drones, zermatschte 4/4 Beats... wie eine unseelige Koop zwischen Zoviet*France und Severed Heads.Neuester Release von Pat Muranos Decimus Projekt, ist Teil einer 12-teiligen LP-Serie, die den Tierkreiszeichen des spätantiken Decimus Magnus Ausonious gewidmet ist. How do you deal with the world's nightmarish montage of bad news, the glut of information that triggers feelings of futility and insanity? One way to cope is to plunge deeper into the madness, at least temporarily, for a dip into the healing pool of catharsis. Few people in music today provide a more immersive alternate reality on record to combat our own horrible one than Decimus (former No-Neck Blues Band guitarist/synth player Pat Murano). Musical categories dissolve in the mind as you try to ascertain what's going on in Decimus' sonic universe. As with some of the most advanced and individualistic musicians on the planet (Coil, Demdike Stare, Mnemonists, Nurse With Wound), Murano instinctively generates sounds that appear to bypass normal listening responses and flow directly to the subconscious. Deep immersion in Decimus 7 leads the listener to a disturbing, mind-altering realm. Every aspect of these two epic sidelong pieces feels as if it's controlled by a malevolent super-being hellbent on subverting conventional notions of music. The A side's untitled track sounds like an alien transmission trying to fight through static and command your soul. Grossly distorted Chrome-like grumbling and icy synth motifs waft over artfully spluttering drum-machine beats, establishing a disorienting, unsettling tone. With alchemical zeal, Murano fills the stereo field with perilous atmospheres, warped, distant melodies, Doppler Effected drones, and bleating percussion. When he brings in a trudging, sludgy 4/4 beat wreathed in mysterious mumbles and aural effluvia, it's like an unlikely collaboration between :zoviet*france: and Severed Heads.

  Gate Of Grief

  2018 release. White Ring mark a triumphant return with Gate Of Grief. Their debut album arrives a full eight years since their benchmark EP, Black Earth That Made Me, which sold out almost instantly, making their records some of the most highly sought after on the underground scene and earning them a cult following across the globe. Swerving from aggressively abrasive to beautifully ethereal and drawing from a varied and challenging palette, they tackle loss, acceptance, struggles with drug addiction and existential dread. Originally formed by Bryan Kurkimilis and Kendra Malia, before they were joined by Adina Viarengo, with Bryan and Adina currently touring as a duo, they are one of the most acclaimed proponents of the witch house movement. Blending heavy, distorted electronics with eerie, unsettling vocals, this new release, created over the course of seven years, pushes the boundaries even further, subverting genre ideas and mashing them all together, with industrial, metal, rave, chopped and screwed, rap, grunge, neo folk, post punk and new wave all in the mix.
