Knife Through The Spine
Primitive, old school industrial, with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. This is the first CD edition of Himukalt's cult
2018 LP (originally released on Malignant Records), remastered and including bonus material from the same recording
sessions. "There's something uniquely old school and primitive at work here, capturing the claustrophobic, unsettled and
fragmented sound of early Illusion of Safety or mid-late '80s industrial on a whole, contemporising it, and filling it
in with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. 'Knife Through The Spine' delivers a steady cascade of abstract sounds,
festering with grinding pneumatic throb, coarse frequency blasts and sputtering electronic oscillations, with spliced
snippets of processed, flanged vocals and a general sense of social anxiety and disaffection. A unique and challenging
take on heavy electronics for fans of Puce Mary, She Spread Sorrow, Atrax Morgue". Himukalt is the Nevada-based project
of the enigmatic Ester Kärkkäinen. Presented in a 6-panel digipak.
