THE METAL DECK, the evil way of playing games. Created by Merchants Of Air & Analoch Games. Order now. http://www.analochgames.com/
Time to return the favor. A while ago, my colleague Björn reviewed the latest Misantronics album, 'Contraformance' (read). He also rebooted his own experimental project and renamed it to this jolly phrase, "Hellstorm Of Flaming Nothingness". Now, he released a first ep, an eerie four-track, nihilistic, minimal, droning and even more minimal. So it's only correct that I return the favor and write this little review. Besides, it's a pretty good ep too.

The four pieces on this ep are excellent pieces of minimal ambient or noise, so minimal that you can almost call it microscopic. They drive on deep mechanical drones and a few soundscapes, sometimes showing a hint of melody. The whole reminds me a bit of the works of Sam Prekop, Zoviet France, Rapoon or Tactile. Or the works or those early electronic pioneers with their oscillators and strange music machines.

The opener 'Compassion' remains my favorite, and perhaps I'll make a little Misantronics remix for this one. My favorite title is the last one, 'My Life, And By Extension Everyone Else's Is Meaningless", which might be one of the most minimalistic pieces in the history of music. So check it out, play it during your dark meditation sessions or just blast it through your speakers to make your neighbours go mad. It's definitely worth it...
