DEATH DISCO Death Notes
Electronic music producer Samuel Kerridge – who was also curator of Berlin’s Atonal festival for a time – and Maxim “Panda” Barron, former guitarist with Brighton indie rockers TOY, have joined forces in their electrifying new project Death Disco to conspire against the living. Drawing on the rebellious roots of (post)punk, EBM, industrial, and slow metal spiced with a DIY ethos, the duo has created a sense of urgency and authenticity on their debut album Death Notes. Samuel’s fierce vocal work and electronics gives the album an emotional depth that goes beyond its aggressive nature, while Maxim’s pulsating rhythms keeps cutting through the atmosphere with skin-stripping power. Death Disco moves through different experiences and paces, carving out an unique norm in an equally unsettling and uncompromising sonic world.Their debut album was previously released on LP, cassette and download, now Klanggalerie are happy to bring you this seminal album on CD. Mastered by Justin K. Broadrick. Full tracklist: 1. Goats Reverse 2. Self Discipline 3. Breathe Light 4. Spiral 5. Death Disco March 6. Valves Of Sensation 7. Ingest 8. Kick 9. Kick (Radio Edit) 10. Self Discipline (Radio Edit). Price: € 20,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.
Als ebenfalls vehementer Kick mit knurrigem Riffing, fräsendem Fuzz, ätzender Elektronik, eisernen und brutalistischen Schlägen, verzweifelten Schreien, taffen Deklamationen. Als Männer, die zu technoiden Beats und mit postindustrialer Verve auf Goats Reverse starren und an den Valves of Sensation drehen. Die sich mühsam zum Licht schleppen (Breathe Light), lauthals Silence brüllen (Spiral), als aufgedreht klappernde Blechmänner marschieren (Death Disco March) und weitere Ihresgleichen schmieden.

Nie brak w tych nagraniach erudycyjnych nawiązań do klasyków gatunku sprzed ponad czterdziestu lat, ale też własnego wkładu obu artystów, nadającemu im współczesne brzmienie. Efektem jest prawdziwa petarda: brudna, hałaśliwa, mroczna i agresywna elektronika, pokazująca, że rebeliancka muzyka sprzed czterech dekad jest nadal żywa.
