NX1 - BT6 (BITE017)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a "Come To Life" from Blime Dust. Apnée Artefact has been organizing events in partnership with Bad to the Bone magazine, where exhibitions, performances and A / V lives merge, and now starts a new chapter launching the record label with "Crossing Sheol", the massive new album from Blime Dust & The Undertaker's Tapes. 

Sheol, translated as « common grave of humanity » or « abyss » is the underworld of the Old Testament. A place which all the dead souls go and remain until the Last Judgement; both the righteous and the wicked, regardless of the moral choices made in life. A place of stillness and darkness cut off from God.

This collaboration presents 9 tracks of power electronics, experimental noise, industrial, techno, dark ambient & ritualistic sounds, embodying rage-filled distorted vocals, destructive war drums, harsh guitars & abstract noises.

Out March 26 on digital format + cassette. Pre-order now: https://apneeartefact.bandcamp.com/album/crossing-sheol

A. The Trickster (Setup)
B. You Hear Me (Talk Dilettant Strategies)

Hypnoskull was created in 1992 as a solo project in order to experiment in the area of electronic noise combined with rhythmical structures. In the first years of its existence, Hypnoskull was releasing cassettes and tracks on international labels in the so-called cassette network, a widely spread network of independent and experimental musicians and artists who expressed themselves throughout limited tape releases often including artworks, ideas, texts. In 1998, Hypnoskull signed to the German label ant-zen. That is not a coincidence: ant-zen stands for ‘anti-zensur’ (anti-censorship), one of the main starting points of the provocative Hypnoskull project. Patrick Stevens does not limit himself to just producing music as such, albums always include a severe message, a thought-provoking underlying concept text, questions. The main philosophy: ‘the dance floors, the clubs, the festivals… are staged warzones with a different set of rules – a therapeutic zone where hidden anger and even aggression of both the artists as well as the spectators can be released in a proper, human way. Music as a means to open up the deepest anger inside human beings, letting it out in a way which is not harmful to others". A strange symbiosis between the two worlds, Patrick Stevens is a part of the techno and the industrial scene. Techno once being a genre promoting an open, positive mindset, industrial on the other hand being a highly nihilistic, philosophic but pitch black reflection on society. The mix of both musical as well as content wise elements of these genres result in what Hypnoskull is all about. Added to this an explosive mixture of post-war and contemporary western subversive philosophy – in a rather impulsive manner – makes the project what it is today, after 30 years of existence.

Now for Folgsamkeitfaktor, Hypnoskull presents his brand new 7-inch single "The Trickster". From industrial techno monster of the title track on A side, to the slow burning B side track with vocals, an eerily predictive textual dissection on the state of our contemporary societies, written in 2013, rediscovered in an old notebook and recorded in 2020. The release sounds extremely massive and crystal clear at the same time. Mastered by not less legendary German techno & EBM figure, Thomas P. Heckmann, the record is ready to smash the floors and, with a collage artwork, hand-made by Patrick Stevens himself, also may take place on a shelf of any authentic vinyl collector. Prepare for this brain-smashing industrial technopunk dual-charge bombshell!
