What the heck is Slowcore?

When Techno and Hardcore gained traction in the 90s, there was the tendency for the sound to get more heavy and dirty on the one side, and more frantic and speedy on the other side; tracks at 160 BPM, 180 BPM, soon at over 200+ BPM came popping out; until eventually genres such as Terror and Speedcore arose and you had tracks clocking at 800 bpm in 1998. And, after the millenium, genres such as Splittercore and Extratone became popular that took the speed to even more insane levels.

But after a while, an evolution towards the opposite direction took place, too; starting in genres such as Industrial Hardcore and Doomcore, some artists began to produce slower and slower tracks; this soon gave birth to the phenomenon known as "Slowcore". Tracks below 100 BPM, or 80 BPM, or 60 BPM, or even at 1 bpm (and slower?). Slowcore even has its own sub styles by now, such as Funeral Doomcore for very slow tracks, or Hadal Doomcore for even much, much slower tracks (think 1-16 BPM).

When exactly a track does enter the "Slowcore" realm is open to dispute. For this compilation we used the definiton: 125 BPM or slower (with one exception!).

So we called out for producers to turn in their Slowcore tracks for this compilation, and the response was awesome. We have something from all realms of slower Hardcore here, 120 BPM tracks, 60 BPM, 4 BPM... Industrial inspired sounds, Doomed sounds, slow Dancefloor stompers, Dark Ambient influences, Death Metal, odd experiments... everything you can wish for.

And, while listening to the tracks, we almost got the impression that there was a historic error in the development of Hardcore Techno: these slow tracks sound so natural and kicking, the slow drums underline the dark moods and atmospheres so perfect, maybe Hardcore had always been ment to be produced at half the speed, or even much less!

So... get a glimpse of the Slowcore movement, and check this compilation - if you dare!

The Slowcore Compilation

This Is History (Slowcore Intro) (4 BPM) (DCR 163)

there is a story to this track. the first and only time i saw the Kotzaak Klan play live was at a nordcore party here in hamburg. sadly there were some technical problems which diminished the sonic experience. anyways, i highly enjoyed the sound by the liveact. they had a long haired rocker type mc. one of the tracks they played had the lyrics, in the intro: "there is no future... i can feel it in the air... there is no future". i always wanted to found out which track by kotzaak that was, as i didn't know it. well, after some digging i realized, there is no track with such lyrics (and the mc didn't speak them either). i just imagined the lyrics while hearing the sound.
so, i had a track in my head, that didn't exist at all. but now, 15 years later, the thought crossed my head, damn, i'm a musician. and i have a track in my head that i like a lot. why not just write it down?
i then spoke the words and created a melody and track around it that i thought would fit to them.
enjoy!

There Is No Future (Extended Version)

My latest song, straight out the studio!.. It was written as to be "performed" midst festivities for the Norse God, Freyr. 
The term "blót" (pl. blótar) refers to an occasion of ritual sacrifice (I.e., of an animal or mead or offerings, although the historical context of "blót" signifies more specifically blood-sacrifice of an animal) on a community ritual heathen feastday. But the lyrics of this song more particularly concern the festivities outside of the blot itself, and hailing the glorious Freyr.

 I can say I am very happy with how it turned out. I'm still kind of playing around with how I want to record the lower octave on the Irish-whistle, but it still turned out good, I think.
 The drum is very bassy, so it might get kind of lost in your built-in computer speakers, but they come out clearly in a stereo or regular speakers of course.

 Similar to my other most recent tune, "The Wayfarer's Song", the recording style is a bit different from older Hymir's Kettle tracks, in that a more "up-close" and/or "live" sound is striven for, which also tends to give it a more "rustic" feel, in my opinion.
 The music and lyrics are all original.. And, as is usually the case, all the instruments and tracks are recorded by myself..

TRM-EP-023 Xaero & Mel Agony - Lies And Fables (Hypoxic Remix)

Exclusive 1001 Tracklists Mix

i made a 1 bpm doomcore track a while ago but i've been doubted because the track did not "really" clock at 1 bpm...
so here is a track that fixed this error; 1 bpm doomcore; 1 bpm tempo. the bassdrum hits at every quarternote, and the pads
and strings run at 16th notes, as does part of the percussion. enjoy!

Creeping Doom (1 BPM Doomcore)

Атеист - Хороший бог-мертвый бог (Lex Luthor theme)

Навьи Чары - Четыре дороги

Четыре дороги ко тьме ведут
Боль, слёзы, болезни и смерть.
По этим дорогам идти тебе,
Блуждать по ним, скитаться впредь.

Покой искать тебе днём и ночью
Не найдёшь пристанища ты,
Закрыты двери чёрными ставнями,
Забиты от твоей судьбы.

Не будет покоя и сна
Лишь четыре дороги ты знай:
Боль, слёзы, болезни и смерть.
Ходи, блуждай, погибай,

Скитайся по миру без сна,
По мёртвым дорогам в худой час,
Бешеные псы обманули в глаза,
Хороводом манили в тайный пляс.

Lyrics:
You didn't forget about me
Even though I hurt you
Sweet angel of death
Believe me again
Can't stop looking
Into your eyes
You taking my heart
Knife cuts so hard
What you will find
Inside of me
Will be yours
I surrender
U happy now?
Because I am
I hope it worked

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
You're the perfect person for a guy like me
And your eyes are shining like the Topal Sea
I wish you could be mine for eternity
Could you please be mine? Hey

[Pre-Chorus]
You trapped my soul, you broke my law
I think you're a thief 'cause you stole my heart
Stole my heart, trapped my soul
Trapped my soul like Azura's Star

[Chorus]
Star, star, Azura's Star
Star, star, 'cause you're my star
Star, star, Azura's Star
Star, star, 'cause you're my star [x2]

[Verse 2]
You're the perfect person for a guy like me
And I know for sure that we are meant to be
If your heart is locked then I may have the key
Could you please be mine? Hey

[Pre-Chorus]
You trapped my soul, you broke my law
I think you're a thief 'cause you stole my heart
Stole my heart, trapped my soul
Trapped my soul like Azura's Star

[Chorus]
Star, star, 'cause you're my star
Star, star, Azura's Star
Star, star, 'cause you're my star
Star, star, Azura's Star [x2]

Adoring Fan - Star

...born 1980 in Hamburg, Germany. in 1996 i discovered the world of hard electronic music...
 and immediately fell in love with it... i never heard music with that extreme energy and passion behind it before...
 in 1997 i decided to create music myself... my style back then was mostly experimental hardcore, breakcore and speedcore...
 in 2000 i had my first release then, my 12" on Blut recordings.
 later that year, Betty Bombshell and me started a show on the terrestrial radio station "FSK" in Hamburg.
 the idea of the show was to broadcast music from the experimental and hard music scenes to an audience that might have not much contact with that kind of sound before. Betty left the show in 2001. 

 there was still a need for that kind of thing in Hamburg; Sampler19 and me teamed up, and we created the "Hamburg Hardcore Radio" show.
 apart from playing old and new records and tracks from the hard scenes on air, we also did many all-night shows, featuring a lot of guest DJs. later, The Man Unknown and DJ Escada joined us, and we started a crew that did the radio shows together.

 in 2002 a 12" by me was released on Praxis, i was very happy about this release, but i do not want to hype myself here, so i won't say too much.
 later that year my 12" on Black Monolith came out, which was again a bit different than my earlier releases, because it was an Hardacid/Acidcore EP.
 2002 was also the year when me and Sampler19 started the "All-Out Demolition!" parties in Hamburg. later, DJ Escada and The Man Unknown joined our crew there, too.
 the idea of All-Out Demolition! was to create a party series for the extreme, interesting and experimental types of Hardcore and Breakcore - parties for that type of sound only happened very rarely in Hamburg back then.
 in 2003, an album by me was released on Widerstand records. but again, i do not want to hype myself too much. the sound was in the various "styles" i produced in so far... breakcore, noize, ambient...

today the styles of the music i produce include breakcore, acidcore, doomcore and dark ambient.


influences on my work include: william gibson, stanislaw lem, bruce sterling, franz kafka, max stirner

musical influences include krautrock, postpunk, new wave, detroit, rave, acid house, classical avantgarde, dark ambient, industrial, chiptunes, gabber, hardcore techno
