IRM
Order4
Cold Meat Industry
Sinister drones from Swedish industrial veterans.
Active for over a decade, Martin Bladh and Erik Jarl’s IRM have long avoided many of the more obvious clichés of the noise/industrial genre, instead pursuing a singular, personal vision taking in the provocative vocal eruptions of Whitehouse and the ritualistic art performances of the Vienna Aktionists. Split into four 15-minute movements, Order4 is their most varied work yet. Dense noise gives way to creepy orchestral passages, graceful drones and chilling found sounds; Bladh’s barked and spoken lyrics, meanwhile, remain harrowing studies of the body, delivered with a clinical remove.
