Premiere: Paraadiso ‘Aerial Dome’

Vital new supergroup Corroded Spiral - comprised of Sepultura co-founder Iggor Cavalera, Venezuelan electronic producer Cardopusher, and Dwid Hellion, founder of early hardcore trailblazers Integrity - announce punishing debut EP Ancient Nocturnal Summoning.

Corroded Spiral’s debut release crosses the boundaries of black metal, hardcore, new wave, industrial and EBM, a sum of decades of experience and powerful musicality from bona fide giants of their respective fields. Its three members contribute not just stylistic influence but three unique voices and a boundless ocean of abilities. “Corroded Spiral is a collaborative creation of different ideas, pushing the limits of our outputs, puzzled together during this doomed time of isolation,” explains Iggor Cavalera. “An aural assault.”

Ancient Nocturnal Summoning captures the intensity, horror and supernatural dread of its title. Its darkness is more creative and more demanding than distorted riffs or blastbeats; but instead is raw, spiritual, apocalyptic, and occasionally illuminated with sparks of melody that shimmer within a suffocating blackness. A seething tension that excavates deep, dark fissures of the soul. Opening track “Ancient Nocturnal Summoning” haunts such recesses, its ghostly vocal lines drowning beneath howling sirens of broken synthesis and a relentless industrial beat. “Through The Eyes Of Madness” invokes insanity with billowing ashclouds of noise and static, a crushing, doomladen descent into terror destined to annihilate speaker systems. Next, “Resulting Fragments Splinter Existence” runs like a destroyed new wave piece, a departure from the sonic obliteration of the previous track but an intense experience in a very different way. Hellish growls underline mutated synth arps, over a beat that could be danceable if it were not so claustrophobic. Closer “Forgotten Ether” evolves from air raid wails and inhuman screaming to tribal percussion and piercing squeals, its merciless pressure always threatening to detonate deep within the brain.

Venezuela’s Cardopusher (producer and DJ Luis Garban) is a collaborator of Arca, Boys Noize and Rosalía among others. His pursuit of uncompromising production and pounding rhythms stems from a background in rave culture and an early immersion in Caracas’ underground electronic scene. Brazilian musician Iggor Cavalera co-founded the iconic and seminal force of thrash and death metal Sepultura with his brother Max in Belo Horizonte in the early 80’s. Having left Sepultura, Cavalera has continued his musical journey with Cavalera Conspiracy, Mixhell, Petbrick, MUDO and Soulwax. Belgium-based US musician Dwid Hellion is known for his work with peerless early hardcore punk / metal sonic explorers Integrity, paving a path for generations of bands to follow in entwining their battery with elements of noise, industrial and experimental music. Dwid also produces “apocalyptic harsh noise” under his Psywarfare solo alias.

Ancient Nocturnal Summoning

Forgotten Ether

Since V/VM's nineteen hour “The Death of Rave” project marked a nails-in-the coffin moment to the foregone UK-rave scene, as well as Burial's symbolic post-rave comedown and, more recently, Lee Gamble's dissection of old jungle tapes, a collective subliminal interest in excavating the sonic architecture of this period seems particularly rife. From the ebullient dissent of the outdoor hardcore and acid house raves, through the period post-1994's Criminal Justice Act which harboured darker variants of jungle, darkside, and drum 'n'bass, the sonic potentialities which unfolded themselves then have undeniably flowed strongly in the bloodline of UK music ever since. Using the “then” and “now” as points of flight, a complex social and musical ecology emerges in which, over a period of more than twenty years, musical aesthetic as well as substantial socio-economic, materialistic, and structural changes have become apparent. Drawing on debates on the “hardcore continuum” and “hauntology” as detailed by Simon Reynolds and Mark Fisher among others, The Death Of Rave focuses on the sonic cycle of death and rebirth, reflecting on the present and future of music via the past.

CTM 2013 – Death Of Rave UK w/ Mark Fisher, Alex Williams, Steve Goodman, Lee Gamble & Lisa Blanning

Where are you? Do you think there’s another sky above the sky? Something is swarming inside your head. Constructs made of steel pipes and molten silicon, feeding on organic matter. Are you free? Search for the reincarnation machine. Do you really believe in death?

AURAL STREAM - ILLUSION [WETECH01 SNIPPETS]

Mirror Chamber is, alike other tracks on the 'Thoughts on Manifolds', an audible statement of an otherworldly architecture - a mind's outlook into one of many futures shaped by Blank Wall Season. On this track the Turkish composer & sound editor Kaan Işık teams up with forces (Infinite Machine, Failed Units), sharpening the edges to the glass shards of the chamber. 

Label statement: "Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by Blank Wall Season is a feather light, mixed-material showroom of synthetic objects, constantly rolling, constricting, zooming, bubbling, evoking some vast space. Impossibly thin, transparent foil, crisp, ice cold fluids, metal on rubber impacts etching elaborate diagrams and schemes into ambiguous, lush techno-reminiscent chords. The sound arrangement here is akin to a granular breeze, like an alien meteorology, a particle simulation turning into a textural primordial soup. Constantly in acceleration or deceleration, the listener knows every vast saturated pad is seconds away from the rush of a blast-off, almost intolerable G-forces, images flashing in front of one's eyes, bullet-like hard pans. These operations are like a valve being turned, the sudden pressure release causing a stream of some noble gas being set free, or opening a shutter suddenly providing a flicker of light highlighting the contours of some cavernous lost zone.

Out on August 28, 2022 on tape & digital on Genot Centre. Recorded, produced and mixed by Kaan Işık. Mastered by Wim Dahaen. Designed by Bora Başkan. Limited edition of 55 C29 tapes with on-body printing pro-dubbed by Headless Duplicated Tapes. Artist photos by Cem Güven."

Thoughts on Manifolds

Premiere: Blank Wall Season - Mirror Chamber (with forces)[Genot Centre]

Erwan Sene  - JUnQ
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 131
Release Date: 14 April 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/JUnQ

JUnQ, or the Journal of Unsolved Questions, is modeled on a parallel exercise: to sketch music and to score sculptures. Part exhibition, part book and part album release, JUnQ seeks to propose a collaborative language that binds the algorithmic needs of an artificial pop star to the performance of the artist himself. Boundaries between reality and artifice are blurred in a continuous chain of confrontation and sublimation, wherein a romance between analog evolution and digital experimentation is born.

The immersive project released by PAN represents Erwan Sene’s debut album and the multifaceted nature of his approach. Composed like a chorus of fantastical beasts, the album wanders atmospherically through a fogged wood. Sounds are never used for their default function–– they are sculpted, distorted and amplified, becoming hybrids of themselves. A haunting banshee, the monstrous growl of an Orc, Siren songs wafting through the trees–– these and more are recreated with sinuous violins, muffled harpsichord and digital instruments, culminating in a a vibrant “jungle” of sound.

Mixed by James Ginzburg
Mastered by Rashad Becker

CTM Festival - Concepcion Huerta & Fe Sexta - 29 Jan 2024

Picking up from where she left off with last years successful Tools of My Purpose, E-Saggila has returned to BANK employing a more sublime and immersive electronic document. Previously leaning toward noisier and distorted rhythms, she has incorporated more sophisticated elements into writing and production. Dedicated to Sublimity is a product of growth and progression but still reflects the raw elements we’ve heard in her early recordings. Lush and atmospheric elements coincide with the brutality of her live sets and play off one another as a cohesive representation of the E-Saggila project.
