King Cannibal - Aragami Style

Coming through with a hard-edged, utterly uncompromising industrial mash-up of sounds and rhythms from dancehall and drum & bass, Radio 1’s Mary-Anne Hobbs has already declared King Cannibal aka Zilla aka Dylan Richards’ music to be “too dark!” (in a good way – she’s played ‘Aragami Style’ five times already). Other early adopters include Bong Ra, Strictly Kev, Kid606, Knifehandchop and Ebola.
Up until a couple of years ago, Zilla was best known for a series of remarkable mix tapes, including ‘A Friendly Game of Chess’ (with Buddy Peace) and ‘One Foot In The Fire, One Fist In The Air’. But King Cannibal was born when Richards began experimenting with using the sonic palette of drum & bass over dancehall rhythms. The track he made was ‘Arigami Style’.
Over on the flip, ‘Flower Of Flesh & Blood’ combines singing ambience, alien invasion quotes and the most menacing bass attack you’ll hear outside of a actual alien invasion. Basically an audio horror movie compressed into six minutes of music - don’t listen to this on your own late at night.
