THE ROSTER

EMOTION OF LOSS

Emotion Of Loss delivers a heavy and sickening blend of doom, indus and noise. No hope here, no life, no light at the end of the tunnel. Just desolation and loneliness. Fields of concrete and charcoal, as far as the eye can see. The intense pulse of all the desperate souls trapped under this ground.

HAUTE-CIMES

Haute-Cimes sound is both repulsive and fascinating at the same time, moving and breathing with its own pulse. Cinematographic harsh noise, with disturbing films samples entwining layers of radiating drones and pulsating noise shrills.

Its first effort, Khmaer Krahom, is like staring at the everlasting collapse of the Sun, laying on your back on a building rooftop, above the smog and stench of the world consuming itself in a last mass orgy of blood, oil and wine.

HUATA

Huata crawled their way up from the sewers, leaving behind cohorts of toothless, hysterically laughing tramps and giant cave rats, bathing and hunting in their waste. Their ascencion led them to emerge through the ruins of a collapsed church. Gazing at the sky, all they saw were waves of gleaming steel, vomiting fire on the terrified masses. Slowly, they gathered their instruments, even digging and old organ under the calcinated fragments of a broken cross. And then, began the mass.

PROUD FATHER

Proud Father is an all tape recording project from the ruins of New Orleans, Louisiana, featuring noise bursts, tape collages, shoegaze-esque distortion/reverb, and analogue synthesizers. Carefully orchestrated chaos drips from your speakers. It floods your room softly, like a tide. Glimmering clouds and fuzzy swarms of drone angler fishes lure you in the depths of an audio maëlstrom.

RESONANCE OF SPIRAL

Hailing from Japan, RxOxS deliver a sick mix of indus, hardcore, noise and dope beats. It's like a big melting pots of screams, screeches, samples, thunderous basslines, all tied together by a crushing drummachine. For fans of early ISIS, Godflesh, Tetsuo, Atari Teenage Riot etc.

ZALHIETZLI

ZALHIETZLI is the ambiant/soundscapes/no wave solo project from the guy behind Zugzwang Productions. That is to say : me. So you know it's good.

-REVIEWS-

Incurably Optmistic : "[...] Zalhietzli demonstrates a keen mastery of a large span of experimental and ambient musical elements and creates one of the most real, darkest sounding albums of the year that will stick with you."

Polar Sunspots : "[...] this release moves between subtle, unnerving ambience to noisy, jarring segments with dark samples."
