krzywdy - czary

 

Yesterday we talked about Krzysztof Traczyk from ROSK. Today we are going to talk about another member of ROSK, Mateusz Szymański.

Czary (Polish for "spells") is his second album; a follow-up to 2017s self-titled EP.

I am a big fan of Norse mythology. Not in a white nationalist gym-viking way. In a "whole bunch of untrustworthy gender-bending shapeshifting drunks are sort of in control of the universe and accidentally made their own destruction out of sex and lies" kind of way.

That makes me a sucker for pretty much any album about Norse mythology that is more intelligent than "WE VIKINGS WE SMASH". Fortunately, this exploration of the Germanic myth cycle is not just intelligent, but inventive as well.

This is some really deeply felt ambient dark folk. highly recommended both for close listening and for pushing out other sounds so you can concentrate on writing about whatever nerdy thing it is you write about.

Non Serviam - Work

  In 1886, workers gathered in Chicago to protest in support of limiting working hours to 8 per day instead of the usual 12-14. A bomb was planted by capitalists, which exploded and began a panic that was later smeared as a riot. The police, as American police always do, began shooting. They killed eleven people, and in doing so, kick started the modern labor movement. Every May 1st we pay homage to these martyrs of labor by downing tools for a day, to honor their sacrifice and to flex the muscle of the only class that has ever built anything. Today is for reminding the capitalist class and their boot-licking sycophants that they need us, but we have never needed them. What better way to kick off that day than with some French anarchist black metal cut up artists making an album about work and it's uselessness to modern people? This album is anarchic in all meanings of the word. "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make e...

Coffin Lurker - Foul and Defiled

  Industrial sludge death doom funeral noise from Oakland. Maurice De Jong is the most prolific dude in music, I am certain. Gnaw Their Tongues , Cloak of Altering , De Magia Veterum , Dodenbezweerder are just a few of his projects. Apparently Rene Aquarius from Imperial Cult decided that he would challenge Maurice to a doom-off, and the loser would have to sweep up after the planet was destroyed. This is the sonic record of that planetary destruction. It is also one of the best doom records I've ever heard. Thankfully free of Sabbath worship and lazy rehashing of every boring stoner riff imaginable, this is actually a brand new thing. Suffocatingly vile and planetarily heavy, this is the answer to the unasked question "what would happen if Sunn 0))) were from New Orleans. Foul and Defiled by Coffin Lurker

THROANE - Une balle dans le pied

  "Une balle dans le pied" is the lacerating new EP from THROANE, the unsettling sonic incarnation of lauded multi-disciplinary artist Dehn Sora. This latest work finds THROANE engaged in a particularly violent form of void surgery, as the diseased tissue of nightmarish Black Metal, wall-of-sound Doom, Industrial, Noise and Dark Ambient is ripped, reformed and reanimated into a lightless chimera of savage beauty. In Sora’s own words: “THROANE is a project based on instinct. ‘Une balle dans le pied’ translates as ‘A bullet in the foot’, a French expression symbolizing the act of sabotaging oneself. Two tracks, forming one, exploring the language of rhythm and forming a bridge for future full-lengths. As with each release, this composition is the fruit of a short time, an accumulation leading to the need for explosion.” Cover artwork depicts Sora's sister, in echo of previous releases featuring close individuals and the personally symbolic: “Working as a...
