BELIEVER/LAW - MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH

Believer/Law are an aggressive, rhythmic electro-industrial outfit based in New York City. While their traditions clearly stem from DIY punk, the band's harsh, driving dance sensibilities strike reminiscent of the likes of early Skinny Puppy or Front 242. Known for their high energy, cathartic performances and strict use of live instrumentation, Believer/Law convey a truly powerful sensation that is both pitch black and uplifting at the same time. Features members of Kama Rupa, Cult Of Youth, Drunkdriver, and Missing Foundation.

KAMA RUPA - SISTINAS SANGUIS

These New York-based post-industrialists arrive on Chondritic Sound with four cohesive and propelling tracks. Live performances and previous works have shown a post-mortem approach to sound, but with this ep rhythms oscillate and lurch under scattered synths and vocals delivered with a sense of romantic anguish.

HIVE MIND - BENEATH TRIANGLE AND CRESCENT

Some of the most dark and industrious Hive Mind material to date, originally released on Heath Moerland's Fag Tapes imprint back in 2008. The more structured and rhythmic construction of these pieces is infused with an inspiration taken from 90s German and French heavy electronics projects like Dagda Mor, Inade, Derniere Volonte and Les Joyaux de la Princesse. Recorded heavily under the crushing presence of opiates, even the song titles themselves play a part in casting the negative shadow of this release. This contains some of Hive Mind's earliest forays into both melody and industrial rhythmic elements as the pieces drag, thud and shiver with a distinct energy not found in much of the earlier drone work. Auto-melodic tones come paired at times with crude, hand-hammered slews of notes while Holger's trademark synth-drone rumbles beneath like a kept beast. Each piece progresses to nastier and darker territory, erupting and collapsing at the end of the title track.

JFK - NGANGA

JFK is a solo project of Anthony Di Franco of RAMLEH/SKULLFLOWER/AX. In 1987 JFK released their first album on Broken Flag. In 2017 JFK release their first full-length album on Chondritic Sound. Present here are the dense metallic tones characteristic of Di Franco's earlier AX pieces, constantly changing and shifting between crushingly oppressive and blissful overtones. These shards of sound spin seemingly out of control, at times kept in place with the assistance of staccato thuds, or the occasional blast of machine-gun rhythms. The pieces fall where they may throughout most of the album, a caustic and dangerous creation. As the record draws to a close, the sounds of distress and collapse are relieved by a choir-like transformation, smothered under layers of distorted metal and synth. This is followed by an almost devotional organ drone, but in this context it still manages to evoke the sinister - the proud architect of decay, surveying the results of their labor. Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl with printed jacket, download card.

PURE GROUND - GIFTGARTEN

"Giftgarten" is an LP presenting 10 songs written and recorded over four seasons by the dark electronics duo Pure Ground. Largely abandoning the hard one-two rhythms of the group's first full-length recording, "Standard Of Living", "Giftgarten" gives further exploration into the murky, acrid wastes of toxic marshes and nervous nights only heard in brief moments on "Standard". Giftgarten is available in the USA on LP from Chondritic Sound, and in Europe on LP from Italy's Avant! Records and CD courtesy of Eric Van Wonterghem's Sleepless Records Berlin. RIYL: Front 242, Portion Control, Echo West, High-Functioning Flesh, The Klinik.
