NEWS & REVIEWS THE BIG TAKEOVER

“Indonesian psychedelic gods Napolleon deliver an astounding debut of heavy, effects-laden mind bending … This isn’t the paisley pop of Nuggets Vol. II, it’s the flashbackinducing rock of the Psychedelic Salvage Company compilations.”

“On Time As One Axis, the twosome go nuclear on its sludge-dripping anthems. Noxious chunks invoking Stooges Fun House-era free jazz fits, Sonic Youth-ian skronk and Melvinslike heaviosity are the Invisible Things’ lethal recipe for its cerebral and noisy madness.”

“10 Songs Public Radio Can’t Stop Playing: You may know Kathryn Calder from her role in the Canadian indie rock supergroup The New Pornographers … [but she] also has a string of beautiful solo albums. The songs are nowhere near as bombastic as the New Pornographers; instead, they rely on a stripped-down, ethereal pop sound built around Calder’s operatically trained voice.”

Rising forth from the primordial sonic stew of intensive collaboration, industrial supergroup Primitive Race stands ready to take their place as the pure evolution of industrial music — past, present, and future.

Evoking the intensity, fury, and excitement of Industrial First Wave, Primitive Race brings together an all-star cast of contributors, each of whom is a “missing link” in the canon of industrial and EBM in their own right.

Conceived by bassist, impresario, and Lords Of Acid manager/executive producer Chris Kniker, Primitive Race features regular appearances from Graham Crabb (Pop Will Eat Itself), Erie Loch (LUXT, Blownload, Exageist), and Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy, Tricky, Gary Numan).

That core is joined by an all-star cast of contributors including Tommy Victor (Prong, Ministry, Danzig), Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Jackalope), Kourtney Klein (Combichrist, Nitzer Ebb), Mark “3KSK” Brooks (Warlock Pinchers, Foreskin 500, Night Club), Josh Bradford (RevCo, Stayte, Simple Shelter), Andi Sex Gang (Sex Gang Children), and more!

Since 1991 All Out War has assaulted the masses with their punishing metallic hardcore aggression, and through a multitude of recordings including a pile of singles and EPs, their 1997 debut LP, and four subsequent LPs. Their arsenal of recorded misanthropy and waves of worldwide touring led the band to become a respected staple act for metal and hardcore fans worldwide. In 2013, after several years off the grid, All Out War came crushing back with the reunited For Those Who Were Crucified-era lineup and laid waste at both This Is Hardcore Fest and 2014’s A389 Records Bash. The momentum has been growing ever since. Now nearing the band’s two-and-a-half-decade mark, All Out War proves that age has only refined their killing capabilities on Dying Gods, a brand-new release about to be unleashed upon humanity.

Two years after An Occasion For Death, Andrew Grant’s The Vomit Arsonist returns with a vengeance with his second full-length for Malignant, Only Red. Inspired and galvanized by Brighter Death Now’s U.S. shows in 2014, Grant’s latest takes on an even more visceral and dynamic feel than works past, and is unquestionably the heaviest thing he’s ever done. If An Occasion for Death showed moments of self-discipline, no such restraint exists here, as everything about this record feels amped up to an entirely new realm of intensity.

This is The Vomit Arsonist in full attack mode, as explosive and bludgeoning percussion loops emerge from a churning, monolithic pit of corrosive electronics, menacing transformer buzz, chain-dragging atmospherics, and gasping machine exhalations.

• Also features Weasel Walter (The Flying Luttenbachers) and Damon Smith.

• Press and publicity by New Atlantis Media.

Plane Crash Two is the second document from the legendary improvising power trio of Henry Kaiser, Damon Smith, and Weasel Walter. Kaiser has been active in the improvised music community since the 1970s, bringing his dazzling technique to bear in a myriad of diverse contexts, including Academy Award®-winning soundtrack work for director Werner Herzog. Damon Smith is an acolyte of the FMP school of improvised music, but he also betrays the influence of forward-thinking new music pioneers and be-bop masters, with a proficient voice of his own. Drummer Weasel Walter is notorious for shirking the constraints of genre in favor of making massively original music, whether collaborating with jazz masters or anchoring the most pioneering of avant-rock units, like the Flying Luttenbachers, Lydia Lunch’s Retrovirus, Behold... the Arctopus, XBXRX, Lake of Dracula, and countless other units.

STATS is an aggressive, stylistically omnivorous rock trio based in Brooklyn, formed in 2002 under the name Stay Fucked. Mercy is the band’s first full-length release, following a series of EPs. Tracked at Brooklyn’s Strange Weather Studio with engineer Ben Greenberg, the album is the most intense and ambitious STATS recording to date, ranging in style from seething post-hardcore to atmospheric doom and frenetic prog-punk. Primarily an instrumental band in the past, STATS employs vocals extensively here — as well as synths, samples, and other compelling textures — to complement its core guitar-bassdrums palette. The result is an album of mercilessly intense yet richly detailed 21st-century rock music.

In his new series of concept albums, electronic music producer Samuel van Dijk moves from an evolutionary to a cosmological scale. With this concept, Multicast Dynamics explores organic and aqueous worlds in a dreamlike and spiritual appearance. Aquatic System is the second installment of the series, written and composed in two remote geographical places: Finland and Fuerteventura.

Inspired by the complexity of water, its movement, inhabitants, and hidden energy, the album was assembled mainly using synthesizers and processed field recordings of the ponds, streams, lakes, and oceans of the different locations.

Mario Diaz de Leon is emerging as a singular voice in contemporary music. With a body of work that cannot be neatly categorized, his music is marked by a sound that is both hallucinatory and intensely physical, and an aesthetic engagement with the role of mysticism in contemporary life. His debut album as composer, Enter Houses Of, was released in 2009 on John Zorn’s Tzadik label and praised by the New York Times, among others. As a solo performer, he is active under the name Oneirogen, a project known for its merging of ethereal synths, brutal distortion, and noise influences.

CHANT’s signature tribal-driven sound, immersed within a modern take on classic industrial! Full of punk rock DIY venom, the new album calls out ironic hypocrisies and plays off of every generation’s obsession of the end. Add an extra dose of grinding guitar blasts, haunting noise loops, and a mixing assault from the ultra-heavy beat creator Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM), and CHANT’s Bradley Bills returns with his most dynamic record to date. Brave New Apocalypse screams the heartbreaking truth that nothing lasts forever, but contends that something new always rises.

This release showcased AlterRed’s unique sound and served as the foundation for their upcoming releases. After months in the studio, MikEy AlterRed and Vix Vain have once again emerged with a new masterpiece in the form of the album, In the Land of the Blind… Always striving to explore and expand their sound, AlterRed has crossed into uncharted territories while maintaining the core of mixing avant-garde strings and piano with electronic beats and synths. MikEy’s powerful vocals and dark lyrics tell the tales of love, lust, lunacy, and loss, while acting as the string that ties the whole release together.

Genre: Dark Ambient Label: ConSouling Sounds CD: CSD 53 Price Code: L (SRP $11.99) Number of Discs: 1 Digipak, Box Lot 25 Street Date: 8/7/15 5% PREORDER DISCOUNT

Anthems for Catharsis marks the follow-up to thisquietarmy’s last fulllength studio album Rebirths, a representative collection of reworked tracks that have defined his purgative live performances. Between back-to-back tours in Europe and Asia, as well as the release of live drone documents as and collaborative works with Noveller, Aidan Baker/Hypnodrone Ensemble, André Foisy/Locrian, and Syndrome/ Amenra, thisquietarmy’s Eric Quach went back to the drawing board in his Montreal studio at the end of 2014. Within the repetitive genre of ambient and drone, thisquietarmy constantly evolves, incorporating new textures and structures into the music — for instance, the kraut-rock shoegaze of Resurgence, or the post-rock doom of Hex Mountains. Anthems for Catharsis sounds very focused but also very very dark, not unlike a ritual cleansing or a detoxification. In dismantling his sound, thisquietarmy almost struck a black metal vein, resulting in a brooding, ice-cold rendering of his signature drones.

Toung Belgian doom/black metal band Deuil made quite an impression with their 2013 debut album, Acceptance/Rebuild. Now, 2015 brings us Shock/Deny, further explorations of the stages of loss and grief. For two long and relentless tracks, they probe within the psyche of mourning. The tone is bleak and dark, the music harsh and moody. Their experimental doom — even drone — approach to black metal grinds and grates the soul. The massive sound of Deuil’s “blackgaze” (for want of a better word) gets under the skin and pulls in the listener with brute force. The album might only take 30 minutes, but it will surely leave you gasping for air.

Ten years after the now-cult-classic album The Starwheel, Kammarheit finally offers brand-new material in his most complex work yet.

Where some dark ambient music tends to conjure heavy and oppressing atmospheres, Ominousium aims to induce a meditative experience, where inner landscapes are forged and the listener is left to wander through his own interpretations of these cinematic soundscapes.

Cocksure is Christopher J. Connelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Sons Of The Silent Age) and Jason C. Novak (Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, Czar). After offering three separate releases on three different labels in 2014, this year the boys bring out another full-length album on Metropolis one year to the date after their debut full-length.

Corporate_Sting delivers 10 punches of innovative industrial-cum-punk cum mega-mixx old school Doc Marten stompers, including a cover of a classic 30-year-old Severed Heads tune.

Written and produced by Connelly & Novak at Cracknation Studios, Corporate_Sting lives low on the log of the seedy underbelly of society, taking aim at the exploiters, the thieves, the dealers, and the corruptors, cranking up the heavy drums and the dirty bass while raising the ghost of classic Wax Trax!-era sounds, bathed in future horrors and catastrophe. The album includes a guest “memo” written by Duane Swierczynski, published author of Severance Package, The Blonde, and a writer for the monthly Marvel Comics series “Cable,” plus photography by Black Pearl Photo.

Springing from a collaboratively improvbased writing process throughout 2014, the songs on Taker have a more naturally complex and aggressive approach. “[A] resuscitation of seminal punk’s most vital components.”
