Info:

This book is about the Experimental Hardcore Techno scene of the 90s. It tries to give an overview of this scene, and tries to explain what defined it, and what it set apart from the main currents of Techno, Dance and Hardcore culture in the 90s in general.
It talks about artists, labels, records, movements. And also looks at cultural, social, political connections, associations, implications of this very special form of music.

Taciturne

New Taciturne 12" !

My little review:

"This was the music I had in my Head in 1995-1997 but was not be able to produce at that time" says the producer himself about this record.

This is actually the first new musical output by Taciturne on vinyl since 24 years! And it definitely has been worth the wait.
What do we get here? This is some type of Hardcore and Speedcore with a very strong focus on atmosphere and emotion.
It can be compared to some earlier tracks by Taciturne - "Praxis Dr. Fischer" from the Otaku compilation comes in mind. But it is a much more advanced, improved version of it.
This is Taciturne at his maximum capabilities again.
If you're a Taciturne aficionado, getting this record is a no-brainer. If not, at least take a listen to it!

Light Of Long Dead Stars

Two masters of Doomcore and Slowcore join forces - the result is this 4 track EP on Slowcore Records.
The themes of these tracks are Cosmic Horror, Lovecraftian myths, forbidden wisdom, eldritch abominations, madness at the end of time, and, the faint hope that a last gleam of light might be hidden in this universe as it disintegrates into black nothingness.
Underpinned are these themes and bleak fantasies by brutal, steelworks-like Industrial and Doomcore drumming, haunting melodies and a general wall of howling, screeching, lamenting; synths, sounds, FX.
So, take a listen here - if you dare! And remember to watch the blackness between the stars.

Tracklisting:

Der Cherep & Low Entropy - Light Of Long Dead Stars

1. We Are The Prey (90 BPM)

2. Light Of Long Dead Stars (110 BPM)

3. Buried Amongst The Cosmos (115 BPM)

4. The Prophecy (110 BPM)

Murmuur

Nethercords will release a vinyl EP by Murmuur very soon, and I can highly recommend it. Here is a litte review that I wrote for this release:

(Also check Murmuur's releases on Doomcore Records, btw!)

Murmuur - Rise Of The Death Gods (Nethercords)

Spanish artist Murmuur on Australian label Nethercords.
The tracks straddle the line between Doomcore and Industrial Hardcore here, with some definite inspiration by contemporary Techno. The backbone of these tracks are the pounding drums, which come across ultra-brutal, and are sure to get some people pumping on the dark dancefloor.
Supported by hellish, demoniac wailing, screeching sounds that set the right mood.
What I like is that while there is a lot of punch in the production, it's not so "overly" laden and distorted like a lot of Industrial Hardcore releases these days.
Two tracks are original tracks by Murmuur, while the two other tracks are remixes of tracks originally by Tyrant X, who is also the label owner.
This is a record that stands apart from most Dark/Doomcore outings, first by the excellent sonic production qualities, and second by bringing in new and different ideas to these forms of music.
Definitely one for the Doom and Industrial heads, and anyone else who likes creative, hard and dark music.
