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

CTHULHU MYTHOS - SUB-GLACIAL

Hey, I hope you’re all well in these difficult times.  I’ve been up and down but my partner in vibes @specialececilia helped pull me up with this excellent song about how the bad and wicked must change their ways.  A perfect song for what’s going on in the C19 hotspots where some men are doing a terrible job of keeping people safe.

"The Darkest Heart" by Amy Fear. My Fault Music 2020.

Rock(s) On Mars

"Diane, something happened last week that proved to be life changing. I went to a local music store in a town where I was holed up on an 
undercover mission. Nothing too intense, just some normal stake out kind of procedures. My cover allows me to practice my drums while I'm 
on duty. Best case ever. 

Anyway, Diane, while at said music store, trying to find a certain obscure ride cymbal, the store clerk who was helping me managed to drop a 
drum machine on my kick foot, giving me two hairline fractures. Diane, remind me to send a thank you card to the store clerk. I believe his name was 
Bradlee. He was very kind and helpful. 

While laying on the floor in pain, realizing I wouldn't be able to drum for a while, even if I did find that cymbal when I made it back to me feet, 
I decided I should let fate intervene and buy the drum maching that landed on my kick foot. Diane, D3 was right, the digitakt is a machine not to be 
taken lightly, pun intended. 

Needless to say, I've been anti drum machine my whole life until now. The guys jaws dropped when I sent them some fine soothing 
energy transferring electronic beats to play with for our new single. Diane, remind me to designa  foot cast that doesn't itch. 
- Coop."

Passenger Braking

if I were to cop a ride with you
I would brake so hard
you would die by shards

I shouldn't be mean
my mouth just won't stop
don't drive me crazy
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

if I could find pedals on my side
I would brake so fast
you would fly right past

I shouldn't be mean
my brain just won't stop
if you make me hate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

passenger fails, my patience pales
I would brake so quick
that would do the trick

I shouldn't be mean
my jaw just won't stop
want to test your fate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

Passenger Braking

Misread eyes, misread signs
Regurgitated happenings from bad to the sublime
Static stare, fools beware
I've finished searching something that was never really there

CHORUS
I don't have time for this commotion
Puppy dogs and fluffy things
Designed to mess with me and my emotions

Clapped out heart, bombs aloud
I think that I'm exploding with my head up in the cloud
Dodge the trash, thoughts are rash
I don't have time for silly games excuse me whilst I dash

CHORUS

"Got" at last, read and weep
Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap
Claim the prize, take the rise
My ever growing ego is transcending to the skies

CHORUS

Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap

Puppy Dogs And Fluffy Things
