I was randomly exploring the discography of Black Artifact when I came across this album by Texas-based experimental noise/industrial musician Yemen Civil Servant. "Blooming of Machine Gun Nests" is his third release for the label and arguably his most elaborate work. Growling harsh noise walls clash with cinematic drone soundscapes, while fragmented industrial arrangements relentlessly crash against dark ambient tones. The listening experience brings both relief with its quite moments and buckets of anxiety and horror when the worlds collide. A powerful record that reveals something new with every listen.
The CD is sold out at source, but the artist has a few last copies here. Stream the whole album below.
