Paroxysms, by SCONSACRATA

Paroxysms

by SCONSACRATA

supported by

Grimmrobe A unique avant-garde gem in the realm of metal, and one well worth seeking out. Favorite track: Blind Yaldabaoth.

Beinagrind Blár Multifaceted, short, expressive and powerful. Sconsacrata serves up one of the best Experimental/Industrial leaning metal albums of 2022. Favorite track: Katasonics.

Matten Yep, there's a lot here, and it all flows magnificently. Incredibly unique release. Favorite track: An Hourglass.

GPH This is, as Shakin’ Stevens remarked about Alan Partridge’s “Bouncing Back”, “Lovely Stuff”. Genre lines are blurred within tracks, shifting effortlessly from Industrial Dub, to Death Metal to Noise with breathtaking fluidity. Charlie has played an absolute blinder here. Groove and grimness seamlessly sharing the same fetid bed. Love it!

about

Paroxysms is a barrage of paranoid nihilism that takes oppressive industrial textures, grinding hyperkinetic blasts and expansive blackened transcendence into uncontrollable nuclear fission. Inspired by Philip K. Dick’s Valis, Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago and occult and esoteric works from Montague Summers to Georges Bataille, it is the sound of inexplicable violence flashing for an instant in the infinite uncaring void. It is the product of Charlie Davis (Wasted Death, Beggar) on vocals, guitar, bass, drum programming, synth and noise. Fragments of Norwegian frost, industrial dub, Floridian death metal, inhuman glitch, Slayer worship, analogue noise and breakneck grind make this album a polychromatic nightmare experience.

Ψευδομένη
by Ὁπλίτης

supported by 12 fans who also own “Paroxysms”

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer
