002 . On a Clockwork Highway

Just to be true to what I said in the first post, here we go with some other stuff for you to check. The band is Thee Maldoror Kollective, a very weird ensamble of people who seems related to a lot of different projects. The actual line-up consist of 4 elements: Kundhali, E.V.A.nghelya, Drakon N.O.X., H:Kashchej with the collaboration of Mr. K Nordvargr (talking about him, the “Merzbow VS Nordvargr relase is totally sick!). I discovered them just few days ago with the album “A Clockwork Highwa”, but it seems they are terrorizing people since years.

Anyway ACH is a quite impressive piece of art, an insane mix of industrial/electro martial sound mixed with screams and whispers. In some songs (like “Who Dares To Kill The Lion”) you can listen even to some tribal influences. I really like the third track (“The Hills Have Eyes”), remixed by Mz412. There’s a huge work on guitars samples and it sounds quite heavy (don’t worry, nothing to do with “In Nomine…” ^__^). By the way, it seems that music it’s not the only thing they’re interesting for. If you check their web site (http://www.maldororkollective.net) you’ll notice that it’s even quite hard to find the music related pages! Instead, they have a great page named “Exit Solutions” where they collect essays about unusual topics, like for example:

Cyberpunk and Industrial Music

check the others (you have to go first in this page and then click on “exitsolutions”), there are essays like “Technoshamanism” and “The Book Of Pleasure” by Austin O. Spare... :)
