Imminent Death / Kate Rissiek - Rigid Horizon

Nova Scotian label Buried in Slag and Debris released this cross-border split tape last month from Imminent Death and Kate Rissiek. "Rigid Horizon" brings us two distinct sides of the experimental electronics coin. Allison of Imminent Death delivers eerie drones and industrial noise that teleport me aboard a ship lost somewhere within the Bermuda Triangle, anxiously drifting and hoping for salvation. Kate's side, on the other hand, leads the confused crew further into the abyss with harsh noise wall transmissions and shrieks of power electronics instrumentation. No one will make it alive. I am generally not 100% sold on the idea of split releases, but this one landed way better than I was expecting. Totally worth your time and money!

Imminent Death - Scorched Earth Gallop

Allison Tantakarn returns with her Imminent Death project, launching new, self-released tape "Scorched Earth Gallop". Her previous album, "Radiant Ignition", has been on replay ever since I discovered it, so I'm quite stoked to check out this follow-up. Unfortunately, the album is available on tape only as of now, with just a handful of tracks available for preview. From what I can tell, it will be a gnarly slab or power electronics, spiced with sci-fi drones and extra-textured ambient soundscapes. Music for horror, music for space, music for dystopian nightmares. Fucking A.

Imminent Death - Radiant Ignition

Imminent Death (aka Allison Tantakarn) is a drone/noise artist from Queens, NY. I came across this tape by chance on Tumblr a week or so ago, and it's been on my mind since. "Radiant Ignition" is 30 minutes long and consists of two constantly morphing drone suites that occupy a blurry space between dark ambient and noise music. The whole experience is very eerie, almost ominous and otherworldly. I often found myself thinking of the Alien franchise when listening to this album. A Xenomorph survival soundtrack. Pretty sick.

"Radiant Ignition" was released on tapes by a new label called Vial, you can order them here. Stream both sides down below.
