Yemen Civil Servant - Hush Bribes

Greg returns with my personal favourite project of his - Yemen Civil Servant. The new album, "Hush Bribes", was released on CD by the purveyors of all-thinks-dark Black Artifact and delves deep into the harsher and noisier corners of the unique Middle Eastern ecosystem YCS build over the last years. Sonic PTSD flashbacks haunt the record throughout, serving a glimpse into the bleak reality of war machine. It's a ruthless, jarring and uncompromising pursuit of battlefield truths through noise and power electronic methods.

Yemen Civil Servant - Blooming Of Machine Gun Nests

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.

Cementation Anxiety - Agnosiareign

Cementation Anxiety is an alias of New Jersey-based experimental musician and producer Kyle Nelson. His releases have been popping up all over my feed due to his recent collaborations with Nouvelle Gaze, Black Artifact, Trust Collective, Somatic, Amulet of Tears, and many more. "Agnosiareign" is his most recent project, beautifully released by Black Artifact, consisting of nine compositions that inhabit the blurry and often fluid zone between ambient and drone. Agnosia is a neurological condition where a person cannot recognise objects, sounds, smells, shapes, or people, despite normal sensory function. The album sounds like a soundtrack to the empty corridors of the psyche of a mental asylum patient—often calm and tranquil, but sometimes weathered by storms of anxiety and uncertainty.

There's tapes and CDs on label's Bandcamp here. You can stream the album down below.

A Scent Like Blood Tastes - Red Shimmer

Industrial drone nightmare from the enigmatic producer A Scent Like Blood Tastes. Eight minutes of what feels like being at the epicenter of the aftermath of a bomb explosion, bringing death and destruction to innocent civilians, all while a rogue military helicopter circles overhead. Limited release on tapes and lathe cut. Grab 'em here.

MITH-XX & Exome - At The Gates Of Death

Power electronics and hellish noise dominate this transatlantic collab ablum from Exome and Mith-XX. "At The Gates Of Death" was released in April by Black Artifact. Soundtrack to a session with a medium possessed by a demon.
