Tedium is modernity in the waiting phase. A longed-for moment of stasis.
A compilation of 23 tracks that shows us a rather wide spectrum including diverse manifestations of modern electronics. Boredom and neurosis that hold hands and become a chameleon-like whole.

Sometimes this combination draws its essence from obscure ambient demotivating, other times steals the body of enormous noisy and granular flows.

An emblematic sound vessel capable of containing everything from the sharpest electro-acoustic resonances to the most deformed deteriorations of hip hop imagery.

Before You Snap

In the hollow womb of the Void, where gods are torn apart and screams are older than stars, a hatred was carved into reality — and named XAL’THEROTH.

He is the rot in celestial flesh. The unspoken scream at the heart of silence. Born not of blood, but of blasphemy.

His voice is decay. His breath is ash. His arrival is not witnessed

A ritual to awaken the chained horror beneath existence.

XAL’THEROTH does not listen… he consumes.

XAL'THEROTH (FREE DL)

Around 60000 years ago homo sapiens started moving from Africa into other parts of the world, so we're all Immigrants. Think of that when you see the next war starting over a bit of land that belongs to someone, this world belongs to no one.

For our first tape, the Icon of Sin presents to you 8 post-industrial society techno-electro tracks perfect for the Neo-Feudalist workhouse!

Undoubtably our bleakest release yet, they’ll really get you going (to work past a reasonable retirement age) in their grim and grey grooves, baby!

Futuristic and technologically led past the point of return, drowning in a muddy ancient river; the album conjures a world of firing pistons, frightened people and automated production lines.
The downtempo doomsday soundscapes are at once Detroit Electro, London Hardcore, Norwegian Black Metal and (dare I say it) Berlin Techno.

Here's a blurb from the icon himself:

“I wrote this album over a short period of time (about one week) in 2021. At the time I was living in Hackney central, in a relatively small and cold flat next to the loud Mare Street. I was going through a particularly dark and hopeless period of time due to isolation and post lockdown depression.
The windows of the flat were paper thin, vibrating loudly, too often. I had a lots of sleepless nights, which resulted in this record. I worked in a bottling line at the time, the industrial and repetitive, almost dehumanising environment definitely influenced this album.

The music was written fully on my Octatrack (apart for the track “Benders” which was performed with my modular rack). Everything has been recorded in one take as it comes out from the machine, with minimal mixing and mastering and no post production.
The sonic palette features a couple eurorack modules, sampling from Italian television and whatnot; but most importantly a lot of field recording of machineries I found in the factory I was working at, as well as random captures of environments around me - including Hackney’s busy streets - all mangled and arranged in the Octatrack.

Enjoy!” - Matteo, 2024

In an effort to give back to our community, which has been hit hard during Covid-19, over the past month, we’ve been collecting unreleased tracks from some of our favorite musical artists. ALL of the money raised through this purchase will go to the Artist Relief Project, which was created to help artists in need during Covid-19.

Sirens Scrapyard takes form as a digital album with an A and B side. Side A takes listeners on an emotionally ambient ride and Side B celebrates high energy rave hymns.
