2015/07/02

Kalpamantra single tracks reviews continued …

Lucidstatic

Decent light electro-ebm-idm, easy listening, out of Alaska!

Maculatum

Interesting multi-layered churning dark industrial-ambient spiced with sudden beat/noise eruptions.

Maldur Atai

Variable and imaginative from ethereal heavenly voices to rhythmically surging electro sound walls with industrial drone insertions, very good indeed.

Mind Necrosis Factor

Interesting rhythmic dark electro.

Nanohex

Arrhythmic ethereal electronic meets hovering drone-ambient. Enough unpredictability to keep it interesting.

Navicon Torture Technologies

First class power electronics, aggro, twisted, intense, innovative.

New Risen Throne

Superb, very dark ambient-drone, very intense, very complex, among the best!

Niodene

Good abrasive-corrosive industrial.

Non

Other worldly, weirdly distorted electro industrial.

Nux

Down tempo, low impact, reflective electronic minimalism, a chill track.

Pain Slut

This I had earmarked ages ago, same guy who turns out the laid back ebm: ZERO DEGREE. This is full blown traditional aggronoise, wonderfully enjoyable.

Particular

Weird chill electronics.

Playing With Nuns

Very very unusual, intriguing, abstract and weird, Ariel Chapuis of Buenos Aires produces this plus side project: Void of Coil plus numerous cooperative and split sessions, in total some 160 CD-publications are claimed from 2009, this is generally aggro noise probably as a cure for sacharine-sick tango!

Penjaga Isaf

Very impressive dense ethnic-ambient overlaid with Buddhist chant samples some tracks quite off the wall, weird and wonderful, a side project of Herbst 9 so expect the very best in imagination.

Perpetual Amnesia

Are into noise walls, very abstract.

Phaeon

Excellent deep ambient, a bit more structured/segmented than most as well as more aggro.

Phelios

Melodic deep ambient, excellent.

Phragments

Melodic deep ambient with emphatic powerful percussion at times.

Project N.A.

Rhythmically revolving multi-layered melodic or atonal sounds, different!

Psychomanteum

Imaginative atmospheric electro-ambient.

Rasalhague

Intricate-layered-multifaceted industrial-ambient-drone, should be better known!

RKTIK

Slowly developing, distinctly but lightly rhythmic minimalist electro for the early hours dance floor or just to chill.

Sector 304

Among the best of industrials today, hard-abrasive-very innovative.

Sequences

Subtle-gentle-layered electronics to chill to.

Seelenblut

Medieval, atonal ambient.

Siegmar Fricke

Intelligent. Innovative electro-industrial with woven in abstractions.

S.I.J.

Weirdly distorted, otherworldly electro-industrial, good chill music.

Steelhook Prostesis

Raw, confrontational power electronics, excellent.

Sinke Dûs

Dense-deep ambient. Waxing / waning sound waves over a corrosive industrial base.

Sphaere Sechs

A side project of PHELIOS, superb deep ambient.

Stendeck

Basically keyboard and good percussion ebm. File next to portion control / manufaktura, good dance floor music though a little dated.

Strom

Varies from dark ambient to industrial and power electronics, among the best!

Subheim

Ethnic-industrial, cool.

Tapephobia

Imaginative atmospheric electro-trance.

Terra Sancta

Ritualistic deep ambient, very good indeed.

Theologican

One half of Navicon Torture Technologies speaks for itself, power electronics at its best.

Theratopsyche

Rhythmic dark electro, multi-layered and complex.

This Is Past

Very off beat neofolk.

Treha Sectori

Excellent death industrial-drone.

Troum

Among the very best of dark ambient-drone bands around. Never heard anything indifferent from them.

U731

Black industrial meets black metal, shredded with shrill punk, file next to: Prurient, excellent.

Urusai

Only have a remix track by Adversary which is a good, melodic-melancholy rhythmic track unfortunately spoiled for me by talking insertions.

Vestigal

Outstanding deep ambient.

Vortex

Glacially slow, melodic deep ambient punctuated with occasional percussion.

Vresnit

Ethereal arrhythmic ambient, a chill album.

Wiealnovo

Gentle, atmospheric chill electro.

Xlorite

Electro-aggrotek with a touch of punk, a little dated.

Xtematic

From zen-minimalism to electroclash-noise. Good!

Zen Sauvage

Varies from spaced out electronic with neoclassical overlays to rhythmic electro-glitch.
