Aimed at showcasing more contemporary luminaries with industrial post-techno inclinations through its own channels, England-hailing Depth.Request records presents a second installment in its tumultuous Hostile Responses & Provocations series. The digital release, in vain of previous episode, offers six cuts that vary from contemplative, ritualistic explorations to direct-drive, four-to-the-floor juggernauts, forged by different artists spread across European continent who showcase distinctly separate approach towards production and are mostly new to the label.

Sparking off in a fashion one would expect from a composition that has a latin adjective suffix for a title, Zagam's Toriam demands a bit of listeners' cerebral investment to decipher the rhythmic narration, its scattered drum patterns eclipsed by alien baying, landscapes consisting of hemidemisemiquaver-long hats, softly shrilling outbursts of digital noise that vary in intensity as well as length, and a free-roam, expect-anything approach to structure.

Introduced with intensely throbbing ocean-floor rumbling high-passed punitively to lowest ranges, Metalogue continues with More as Dust, a track that soon explodes into full spectrum and reveals itself to be a hard-pounding, cybernetic breakbeat venture that allows less and less breathing space as it moves forward via tightening arrays of kicks accompanied with occasional intrusions of twisted, wobbling synths which outgain other elements by the means of sidechaining.

Ironically enough for a tune called Crawlspace, Swarm Intelligence tears away the torch of tension and resolutely dashes with it as if there's just no fucking tomorrow; comparatively, the effect of this relentless and unsparing 4/4 stomper draws a sensation of jumping from a simmering water into a raging furnace, its vicious drums paced at 140 BPM greeting the woofers head-on while the arcs of gritty droning and armies of condensing percs join the wave until an already busy visual representation of it resembles an impenetrable wall.

Ominous, suspenseful, and resonant of sound one would expect to find on a score to a handsomely budgeted techno-thriller, majority of Second Spectre's Smuggler is set in halftime tempo, corrosive bassline and eroded toms being its main stand-outs, with choral drones, sandy hats and tumbling low-range drums adding to the portrayal of a distinctly dystopian plot with doubtful prospects of a happy ending over the sunless horizon.

Aiming to oppress from second one, Hump Shunted's say-good-bye-to-your-face attitude is achieved through Rommek's scourging, offbeat thudding sidelined only by potent and ceaseless discharge of abrasive mid-to-low scale bass, atop which two distinct layers of panning and buzzing synths fight for dominance against troubled wails of polytonal siren, stretching across mournfully, presumably in lamentation of the record's imminent end.

In what is Nigh/T\mare's culminative piece, voices from the dark, obscured and foreshadowing, pave a pathway towards Armagheddon's ruthless, apocalyptic kicks that strike indiscriminately and stochastically; devastating the scenery in manner of four horsemen, they are accompanied by trailing aftershocks, occasional howls, fragmented whispers and enshrouding layers of imperial ambiance instilling a sense of despondency first, and soon after that, doom.

FLUX notes:

Noise injections, entangled and syncopated distorted rhythms, industrial layers, cinematic atmospheres and apocalyptic synthetic patterns are elements characterizing Consistency Of a Surface by Nemrac (@nemrac-official), which we premiere today. The song is included in his upcoming release Driving Tension, which will be released by Monolith Records (@monolith-records) on 24th February. 

Nemrac is already known for his work with Syncretism Records (@syncretismrecords), with which he’s released sharp and uncommon releases, starting from the compilation series Sonic Textures, which has hosted artists such as Crystal Geometry, Swarm Intelligence, Ryuji Takeuchi, Hypnoskull, Jackpoint Zeroes, Isabassi & Cocktail Party Effect and Nemrac himself. 

This new release fully reflects the spirit of Monolith Records, always refusing the standards of this kind of music, succeeding in doing it again.

Premiere: ErrorDrive - Sine Sight Cut [KDC234]

Prague collective Wrong is proud to present first solo release in their catalogue by Prague-based French producer Léo Hivert aka The Undertaker's Tapes. His debut album On the Last Day on Area Z label followed by several remixes and contributions to various compilations made him one of the most promising upcoming producer within the EBM and industrial scene. Autolysis is the first in planned series of recordings exploring theme of body and decay. It serves as the opening act focusing on cellular auto-destruction which comes as a mirror to the introspectional work that we have been put through during these doomed times. The Undertaker’s Tapes brings here doze of destruction in diverse approaches: from angry industrial through EBM dance-floor killers to noisy melancholia. 6 original tracks are accompanied by ritualistic heavy collaboration with French producer Incendie and four remixes delivered by EBM machinery Mind Matter, rising Czech techno madman C4AT and two members of Wrong collective HYΛEN and Trauma.
