Phil has just put a CD on by Kadaver. 'Molested Into Form' really sounds like the bowels of Satan being forcibly shat into my ears in a windstorm. "An hurricane of death" (c. Phil) flying at your face. A maelstrom of noise being injected into your cortex by the very keepers of Hades. The sound daisies make when wrenched from the ground by black toothed children after a nuclear holocaust. The sound of Prurient's actual nightmares, this is power electronics made by cancerous goblins with utter venomous hatred spilling from their blackened souls. Party music for starving weirdos with one dank room smelling of decayed animal matter & faeces. Quite honestly the most unpleasant & ridiculously entertaining ear rinse Norman has had since that V/VM album years back which sent us clinically insane for half an hour. Ace.War, pestilence, famine. Violence, drugs, sex. Global warming, catastrophe, devastation. Murder, rape, revenge. All these things and more are the true face of the species we call homo sapiens. There has never been at any time a ‘Golden Age’ in humanity’s history – instead it has always been characterised by death, violence and conquest, and the subjugation of others in pursuit of ephemeral and earthly gains, such as power, money and property. And the sordid fact remains that we are still that rapacious species even today and as short-sighted as we have ever been. We are blissfully heading for the edge of the Abyss of No Return, and doing so with a joyful abandon. It is an ode to the meaninglessness of mankind. The bottom line – nothing matters and everything is pointless.
All that we care about, all that we fight for, all that we love/hate, all of our ideologies, all of our feelings, all of our thoughts. It is all futile. We are just DNA transfer units and nothing changes but the external shell, being twisted and raped, pushed and crushed – “Molested into Form”.
“Molested into Form”, the latest opus from Kadaver and FracturedSpacesRecords and the sequel to “This Time... it’s Cancer” (originally to be released on Marco Corbelli's Slaughter Productions but due to his death was eventually released on Topheth Prophet), is the soundtrack to accompany our species’ inevitable (and, some would say, welcome) demise. Searing, grating electronics, mind-melting granularity, ferocious jet-engine sonic blasts and flesh-rending nastiness all combine to bring us a worthy paean to an already lost cause. .. welcome to the nightmare world of our future. Also included is a tribute to Jörg Buttgereit’s classic underground film “Nekromantik”!!!
Kadaver is Michael Zolotov, a Tel Aviv-based noise musician and is the man behind Israel’s most extreme music project. As well as his musical assaults, he is also a painter, poet, philosopher and a true nihilist misanthrope. “Molested into Form” is his first album for FracturedSpaces.
Samples are available on the FracturedSpacesRecords MySpace profile.
