RELEASES

this track is a poignant reminder of being so close to the still on-going war scenes and the harsh realities that people in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are still facing on a daily basis.

my friend from Lviv send me the recording of those flight alarm sirens in 2022. it became a constant presence sound that our friends in the Ukraine still have to endure.

i felt the idea of using the art of music to morph this recording into this track, to use it as a tool to raise awareness about the importance of ENDING ALL WARS everywhere immediately.

art has a unique ability to transcend boundaries and reach people on an emotional level. it can help convey the human toll of conflicts and inspire empathy and action. by creating a track that incorporates the sounds of sirens and captures the emotions of those affected by war, it effectively draws attention to the urgent need for peace.

plus addressing that it all starts and ends with the "war in our heads" is also crucial. often, the internal conflicts, biases, and prejudices we hold can contribute to external conflicts. promoting inner peace, understanding, and compassion can have a ripple effect that extends to the broader world.

remember that art and music have historically played a role in social movements and advocacy, helping to shape public opinion and catalyze change. by creating a piece that resonates with people's emotions and experiences, it contributes to the dialogue surrounding global issues like war and the importance of finding peaceful solutions.

ultimately, the goal of ending wars is a complex and multifaceted challenge, but raising awareness and fostering a collective sense of responsibility for peace is a meaningful step forward. 

ask urself:
what things are you feeding in the shadow?
what will you do when the drums of war pound in your ears?

ANHL - Obliteration

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Hybral. "Affirmative Action" is the title track off the new 12" from Berlin-based artist Hybral. Returning to their own imprint, Subverted, Hybral delivers a masterful take on drone-infused industrial techno—a blend of organically futuristic and fancifully artificial sounds through which Hybral delves into a thrilling sonic exploration of dystopic Giger-esque themes. Drawing elements from their previous releases and merging them all together in more impactful ways than ever before, here Hybral presents their very own musical manifesto that—through a process of extensive introspection—references only itself, delivering a genre-defining, true original magnum opus. Featuring remixes of “Undoing Bias” by SUBVERTED residents Fluid—giving the track his signature high speed and high impact flair—and Nnamael—rewriting its tale through a progressively hypnotising structure. 

Affirmative Action is out November 21 on vinyl + digital. Pick yours up at: https://subverted1.bandcamp.com/album/affirmative-action

PREMIERE: Hybral - Affirmative Action [Subverted]

IOD PREMIERE #034 // HYBRAL - THE QUEER TURN

Hybral's new EP "Affirmative Action" is a dystopian industrial techno masterpiece that shows evil in its most beautiful and intense form. Dark, cinematic and frightening sounds lead you on a ghost hunt of rhythmic darkness, drawn full of turning points and unforeseen, surreal events. The EP is the image of a total horror, a bizarre journey through eternal darkness, as if in a black hole that sucks in all light and the whereabouts of matter remain uncertain. You experience a reality in which the contents of your stomach are overturned by your internal organs and all existing laws are reversed. 

The mood of the track, "The Queer Turn", is reminiscent of cold and rough clefts in the mountains, towering rock formations in the shape of shark's teeth towards the gloomy sky. Chainsaw-like cries of rebellion and determined marching of queer communities echo in the valleys and shape the landscape for generations to come.

Swarm Intelligence - The Shattered Self

Swarm Intelligence - (SUB05)

Fierce and forlorn, Swarm Intelligence’s “The Shattered Self” delves into the complexities of human existence in an era dominated by technological advancements. In this thought-provoking exploration, the artist challenges listeners to confront the consequences of a near future where physical and mental augmentation are commonplace. In a world where limbs can be upgraded, where consciousness can be uploaded, where memories can be digitally archived and shared on social media, where our AI clones can liberate us from menial tasks... What remains of ourselves? Who is our self?

Swarm Intelligence draws influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub, and post-rock, splicing these with his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," the inaugural track, unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat, its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass that permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The second track, “Eros” envelops the listener in a visceral soundscape, where haunting atmospheres intertwine with grinding feedback and pounding percussion. Initially tense, the track evolves into an unexpected and almost euphoric climax, adding an unforeseen emotional depth to the sonic narrative. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension remains—an ever-present reminder of the fragility of our self.

On the flip side, "Inciter" channels inner fury through a guttural chant punctuating a Birmingham-styled broken beat, marching forth with unyielding force.

Finally, "Portal" offers a moment of quiet introspection, as haunting pads echo a mournful refrain while micro recordings of whirring machinery are assembled into the percussion section. It serves as a poignant curtain-closer.

Through "The Shattered Self," Swarm Intelligence challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions of identity, consciousness, and agency in an age where the machine and the human converge. It's a haunting and profound journey—one that invites introspection and contemplation long after the final reverb tails fade into silence.

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
