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.

Sacrifice is the integral part of life; it accompanies each act. When we choose a particular act among thousands of others, we sacrifice all the alternatives. 

Sometimes we come up against something impassable, and this sacrifice can be infinitely greater. Even our inner self could be sacrificed in order to give birth to something that can exist in its place; exist in this new space, in all its plenitude.

"7 Deaths" reveals the state of the consciousness after this series of sacrifices; it shows how we realize our new inner self; how we stand in a place where we take farewell of all that is old as if it were a life that is over.

Noform - 9 Humans [Borders Of Known]

[IOD PREMIERE #001]

Artist: Limbus Puerorum
Track name: Eternal Trip
Album: Labyrinthus Strepitus
Genre: IDM/Noise/Breakbeat/Experimental 
Label: Laboratory of Noises

Labyrinthus Strepitus written and produced by Eric Plovier aka Limbus Puerorum. This album is a winding path, with or without branches, dead ends and false tracks, intended to lose or slow down those who seek to move through it. Out on Laboratory of Noises on September 29th.
—————
Laboratory of Noises was founded by Limbus Puerorum and The Outgrinder. It is a contemporary label developing experimental music that spans four/four and irregular rhythms, broken beats and ambient sounds by manipulating and tweaking the intricacies of the realm of Noise art. 
Laboratory of Noises’ exploration of music: 
The assembly of sounds commonly perceived as unpleasant or painful stands in apparent contradiction to the conventional aesthetic of what music is supposed to be. Laboratory of Noises is interested in this contradiction, and seeks to break it down through its musical output. 
Characterized by a dense atmosphere made of minimalist drones, harsh growls, and screaming, distorted voices, The Lab constructs a dark and dissonant universe using prolonged feedback effects, shrill squeaks and sub-bass pulse hums created with synthesizers. Deeply atonal, there are no conventional melodies or rhythms. The output’s structure, its meaning, effect on the listener and the different characteristics of the tracks establish a link with the musical equivalent of destruction, entropy and havoc.
—————
Limbus Puerorum is the side project born in 2017 of Sinus O. Resident of the Constant Value collective in Seoul. 
Native of France and of Taiwanese origin, Eric is a musician and audio engineer. His music is distinct, percussive with frenetic rhythms, he develops experimental, noise and dark sounds with intoxicating paces and very thought-provoking.

Binary-Rodeo

After an annum of repose, London-based and industrial-clique-doted Depth.Request offers to consideration what's promised to be the first volume in a series titled Hostile Responses & Provocations. Boasting an international lineup, this post-punk, EBM-leaning VA release revolves predominantly at a pace of 135 BPM and features occasional outbursts of indiscernibly distorted lyrics throughout its six rough-hewed, distinctly industrial cuts.

Setting a brooding but aptly instigating tone, No.Ba's opener Bourbon Drive rolls out with unhastily tumbling percs, widely mounting pads and grungy bass cast behind roaring outcries of a rather aggravated vocalist.

Positing that Hate's A Loaded Gun, Istigkeit then continues by elevating velocity, hardening its relentless kicks and violating the rest of the spectrum with walls of sandy hats and whooshes occasionally intersected with looped utterances.

Cranking the cacophony handle to eleven in his wildly syncopated Shug that creates sense of participating in a DIY rave taking place at the base of an erupting volcano, War Scenes programs the drums to run at a double time next to speeding open hats and a condensed, pressurizing sub level.

As last days of s.e.x.'s-fathered and Espectra Negra-featured Phallic Mother starts off, one could be forgiven for thinking that a record with sirens of the apocalypse have been put under the needle of God's antique doomsday gramophone; breathing room is nowhere be found on this anarchic monstrosity on an aural beatdown where screeching and screaming combat to outperform the relentless drumline in gain.

The plate's penultimate suggestion Never Be Silent sees NX1 participant Samot coming well to his own through the use of quartertime-turning-halftime kicks, dirty bass sheets, eerily exhaling stabs, elongated shrills and other percussive arrangements forged seemingly of sheer noise conditioned to occupy higher ranges.

Closing on a comparatively restrained, stealthy crawler DXS, Blasted lastly showcases his knack for conjuring contemplative sound environments where UK bass can flirt with techno and percussive elements of non-overlapping positions are given equal footing in terms of establishing rhythms and carrying the sonic narrative forward without a need for restraint to permanent patterns of behavior.
