Distorsiones Óseas (“Bone Distortions”) is the demo tape debut of Specto Caligo (glimpse the fog, in Latin), band formed in Lima-Peru at the end of 2017 by Angelica Carlos, Raul Vega, Hermann Hamann and Fernando Pinzás. The sound of the group is influenced by death rock, gothic rock, industrial music, a visceral sound that places them as worthy representatives of a new dark scene in Lima.
Here’s the latest album from Now Wash Your Hands, the solo industrial / power-electronics project of Nathan Nothing from London, England. Contains tracks previously released on obscure compilations and probably only heard by ten people. Here’s the third release from Imperial Black Unit, an EBM / Industrial duo from Toulouse, France, now based in Berlin. Venderstrooik is a mysterious collective of musicians, artists and performers, infamous for their wild live shows and guerilla view on today’s society. Crustacean is their first concept album, and showcases their musical depth – from future electroclash classics via experimental acid techno to melodic sensitive moments. The often explicit but always witty and profound lyrics give us a further peek into their dark souls. With so much music being produced today, it’s easy for one thing to sound like another. But that is something that never comes to mind when listening to the synth of Zoltan Freitag. Never derivative, every moment of every track is filled with rich synth textures oscillating around dynamic tempos. This is synth to lift the heart, synth to luxuriate in. |
