[Music] Sonologyst – Silencers – The Conspiracy Theory Dossiers

/ Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Sonologyst is no stranger to this blog. Raffaele Pezzella, Mr. Sonologyst himself, brings a new release (also available on vinyl!) of dark ambient inspired by conspiracy theories. If Alex Jones were an ambient composer… oh, just kidding.  He has a far more serious interest, and you can either read more about it at the Bandcamp page for this release or in the pull quote below:

For a serious introduction to the conspiracy theory, and the Breakaway Civilization, here’s a link to an excerpt from the book “A.D. After Disclosure” written by Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel

Raffaele has brought so much good music into existence, both his own and so many others’, that he is owed a debt of thanks.

[Music] mNIPK – ABYSS / HUNTER (ALRN079)

Philippe Gerber of Alrealon Musique never ceases to amaze me. He has to be one of the hardest working men in experimental music (and perhaps in music in general, given the breadth of his work, running a label, DJing, et cetera).

He works under the nom-de-plume mNIPK for this project, which is electronic music that jumps genres easily, floating in the realm between dark techno, ambient and drone. Yes, it works together beautifully, if you just take the time to hear the first track, which is available now (Track 2 is due November 15, and is definitely worth your time!).

[Music] Various Artists – Al​-​Mawtin Al​-​Aswad: Arabian Inheritance

/ Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Respect to Depressive Illusions Records out of Kyiv, Ukraine, for giving these folks a platform to spread their music out to the broader world, even if metal isn’t quite my cup of tea.

This compilation of Arabian and North African racket bears little resemblance to anything metal-heads in the United States are used to producing. The anger here is palpable to the point of being nearly psychotic in its energy level.  Brutal metal outside of the Middle East doesn’t have anything close to this intensity.

This record isn’t for the faint-of-heart, but for those who have an interest in how music is used as a tool for rebellion under extremely hostile cultural and governmental forces, it’s quite a window into the local metal scene.
