About EP:

About Artist: Obscure Formats is a sonic strike of moving body electronics. This modern metal machine music is directed, goaded and prodded into reaction by Robert Galbraith, Component Recordings founder and one half (with of the monster modular outfit that is Snowbeasts. Under the Obscure Formats moniker, he forges a tight, earthbound sound from synths, modular racks and drum machines to pound a path through your ears right into your mind. Tracks like pound and pulse with unrelenting beats, percussion and arpeggiating pulses. Within each Obscure Formats track is a harsh soundscape of angles, jagged edges and eerie drones.

A3. Agitations (AXKAN Remix)

OMEN Recordings presents State of Suspension, the debut album from JOSEPH McGEECHAN (iFORMAT) and the label’s first full-length release, available in both digital format and a limited-edition crystal USB. Featuring ten meticulously crafted tracks, along with remixes from industrial techno powerhouses RYUJI TAKEUCHI and AXKAN, this album stands as a relentless exploration of suspended motion, frozen tension, and the collapse of linear time.

Inspired by the science-fiction concept of the stasis field—a force that halts time within its boundaries—State of Suspension manifests this idea sonically, drawing listeners into a realm where momentum is both restrained and intensified. McGEECHAN crafts hypnotic sequences of metallic resonance, crushing pressure, and volatile frequencies, creating an atmosphere that feels both frozen in place and on the verge of eruption.

From the heavyweight polyrhythms and cavernous reverb to the dystopian pulses that echo through each composition, State of Suspension delivers a visceral listening experience, built for the depths of the underground. The inclusion of remixes by RYUJI TAKEUCHI and AXKAN amplifies the album’s raw energy, twisting its core elements into even darker and more unrelenting forms.

With State of Suspension, OMEN Recordings expands its sonic domain into the realm of full-length releases, setting a new benchmark in uncompromising, concept-driven techno.
