(N.E.) Imperial Cult-Spasm Of Light LP (2019)

Country: Netherlands
Genre: Black Metal, Doom, Noise
Label: Sentient Ruin Laboratories/Amor Fati Productions
Tracks: 1
Length: 34.0'

A thirty four-minute spectral avalanche of largely improvised raw black metal fury, Imperial Cult's debut LP Spasm of Light was recorded live in 2017 as a single, half hour long trance-inducing movement of embodied chaos designed to dismantle the psyche. The phantasmal vocals, combined with the repetitive intensity of the music, create an impenetrable fortress casting its spectral shadow unto a scorched and barren wasteland. As previously seen in bands like Fell Voices, on this mesmerizing inaugural work the Dutch band have erected an unyielding wall of black metal drone trance whose framework is rooted on repetitive, cyclical, and vorticose cyclones of furious raw black immersed in a storming haze of decaying ambient-noise that defies logic and sanity.

The three members involved in the project are key figures in the Dutch extreme/experimental underground, and are active in bands like Turia, Nusquama, Cryptae, Lubbert Das, Horrid Apparition, Dead Neanderthals, Solar Temple, Heavy Natural, Iskandr, Celestial Bodies, and DungeönHammer as well as tied in with the label Haeresis Noviomagi. Thematically, Imperial Cult is a reconnaissance of an inherited culture of physical violence and material exploitation. Marching towards self destruction, we must understand the inevitability of violence and quenchless nature of bloodshed. Imperial Cult refers to ancient forms of divine worship of emperors as deities, and the cognate contemporary worship of those who will ultimately destroy us. It is a call to power, to reclaim the sacrificial logic which enables our ruination.  

(Press Note)

*Damn, Imperial Cult have unleashed a beast of an album with their debut LP Spasm Of Light.  Spasm Of Light features one 34 minute track of raw, ugly, and brutal as fuck sounding black metal, doom, and noise.  Spasm Of Light was released via Sentient Ruin Laboratories and Amor Fati Productions on August 23rd, 2019.  Overall, Spasm Of Light makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

Label: self-released (Cassette: Tartarus Records)

Gnaw Their Tongues is a one-man project by dutch musician and programmer Maurice De Jong. His new full-length album, the 20th in 12 years, delivers exactly what the titles promises - it’s epically brutal, filthy and oppressive, but with such an over-arching grandeur, you cannot but feel compelled to descend together with Gnaw Their Tongues into sheer madness. This is an album that grabs your attention by force, and will not let you go. Another tour the force of this remarkable conjurer of darkness. Highly recommended.!!

Pine Barrens/Grinding Halt-Split 7" (2014)

Country: The Netherlands/United Kingdom
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Powerviolence, Grindcore
Label: Degraanrepubliek
Tracks: 3
Length: 9.0'

Here's a killer split featuring the latest material from Manchester UK's Pine Barrens and Groningen, Netherlands Grinding Halt.  I'm short on time, so I'll just use the label's press note as a description.

Another awesome pairing of bands on this 7” slab. Pine Barrens from the UK made a huge impression with their Kingmaker lp last year and the two tracks on here are in that same vein. Technical metallish hardcore rage which is hard to classify but if you want names i’ll say bands like Rorschach and Botch will cover some of it. Listen and judge yourself but i’m incredibly proud to partcipate in a release by these gents. They are simply briljant. Grinding Halt come forth with one longer track which combines everything they do so well. Mixing all the good stuff from hardcore, punk, sludge and metal with some high pitched vocals on top. Topnotch hardcore vinyl with killer artwork from Marald to finish it off.


Overall, this is a phenomenal split 7" and both bands absolutely slay on this 7".  Don't miss this one.  This split 7" was released via Degraanrepubliek records on February 27th, 2014.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
