ASHLAND RISTOFF IS A SELF-TAUGHT AUDIO-VISUAL ARTIST OPERATING OUT OF NYC THROUGH VARIOUS EXPRESSIONS OF CREATIVE ENERGY SUCH AS PERFUMERY, SCULPTURE, METALWORKING AND GARMENT DESIGN WITH A FOCUS ON LEATHER, ALONG WITH AUDIO PRODUCTION AND LIVE PERFORMANCE.

THEY MAINTAIN A DEEPLY INSTINCTUAL APPROACH WITHIN THEIR CRAFT ALTHOUGH DEFINED BY ELABORATE MODIFICATION THROUGH SOURCING RECORDED MATERIAL IN A NON-LINEAR METHOD. RECORDINGS ARE COLLECTED OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS, MONTHS OR YEARS AT A TIME, TO CONSTRUCT A RATHER INTRICATE BODY OF WORK WHICH REFLECTS ON ITS OWN PROCESS OF PAST SELF-DISCOVERY WHILE MAINTAINING A STEADY SENSE OF WHERE IT STANDS DURING THE PRESENT TIME.

distorted diary w/ ivory black

black sweat flows from the gutter 
a dark balled body in the distance
gaze is empty and blood in three piles on the snow 
skinned body 
head on ankles, emaciated buttocks 
she liked to get lost in the whispers
a penchant for drowning 
ambiguity between love and sabotage 
disorder prevailed 
ardor disappeared
flayed mind
fragments 
blend in the putrid smell 
laying in the cold of winter
shadows passed in shards of night
come back float without ever running away
pieces of yesterday
scattered

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.

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
