Until The Day I Die
The third album from Australian post-industrial outfit Kollaps. 'Until The Day I Die' is a merciless and visceral
assault on the senses and continues the trajectory of the band's idiosyncratic approach in their creation of sound. The
album showcases an uncompromising force of harsh post-industrial music narrated by overarching themes of condemnation
and redemption; of violence, romanticism, sexuality, and addiction. Much of the creation and lyrical conceptualisation
of the record has been stylised and presented using William S. Burroughs' cut-up method. A wide variety of metals and
raw materials were used in the creation of the album including metal grates, a rusted hoist, cement cylinders, field
recordings, hammering of various decrepit objects, broken amplifiers, an exposed reverb tank, various synthesizers, and
the infamous metal coil; a crudely self-constructed artifice that has become iconic in its use across Kollaps' triptych
of releases and lengthy touring history in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. 'Until The Day I Die' has had a tectonic
shift in production methods compared to its predecessors and was entirely written, recorded, and mixed internally the
self-constructed ILoveHeroin Studios built above a sculpture museum in Lugano, Switzerland. All instrumentation was
handled by Wade Black except for bass guitar by Andrea Collaro recorded at Hangar 121 in Lenate Pozzollo, Italy on all
tracks except 'D-IX' and 'I Believe In The Closed Fist,' handled by Black, and additional sound design and percussion by
Giorgio Salmoiraghi. The album was mastered by James Plotkin and completed with cover artwork by Nullvoid (Thomas
Ekelund/Trepaneringsritualen).
