Martin Bladh's & Bo I. Cavefors's: The Island of Death (2012)



Epilogue: Maurice Sendak is musing about death while mourning the loss of the Lindbergh baby.

Take 1: The Bulger killers are applauded at the Royal Albert Hall.
Take 2: Fritz Haarmann is haunting the children’s rhymes in Weimar Germany.

Change of scenery: Arnold Böcklin’s iconic painting becomes a Dionysian playground, a battle filed, a bone yard, the temple ground for an ecstatic marriage between sex and death.

THE WILD RUMPUS STARTS!

A yearning for the island to explode in convulsions, an inconceivable orgasm to echo over the sea, make Death the reaper of seas, the waves to rumble with terrifying force towards other coasts, towards other wombs. The boys are bathing in Heliogabalus’ blue-black sea of roses, an orgy where bodies can’t be separated, where all the members, the mouths, thighs and ribcages, every bruised nipple are a part of one single body.

The Lamb and the Sacrifice: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are climbing the stakes of Joan of Arc guided by the arrows meant for Saint Sebastian. A cloud of flies raises from the slabs of the West Memphis Trio victims. The young bodies disappear into the vortex of Jeffrey Dahmer’s Infinity Land where they are joined in the ranks of Peter Pan’s lost boys.

CD + Booklet (14.00,-)
Packaged in a DVD case with full color cover and full color 24 pages booklet including Bladh's unique collages and Cavefors' texts. Limited edition of mere 200 copies! Freak Animal.

SKIN AREA - ROTHKO FIELD (2012)


Skin Area - Rothko Field (TumorCD52)

3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project(in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following 2002's New Skin CD and 2006's double CD Journal Noir/Lithium Path, both on Cold Meat Industry.
Like previous works, Rothko Field is a visceral auditory experience...mind bending and turbulent sonic explorations that are grainy, abstract, and tense, where uneasy frequencies intersect with caustic drones, insectile buzz, swelling drifts, and slow motion, percussion driven sludgery. Further comparison reveals Rothko Field to be less schizophrenic, less challenging, and more structured than in the past, coming off as both spacious and yet suffocatingly claustrophobic, suggestive of a spiral downwards into mental decay and degradation, and further enhanced by Martin's uniquely distressed and provocative vocalizations.

9 tracks total, broken into two "mirrored parts", with track 5, "Void"acting as the actual mirror itself. In digipak, with full color 24page booklet, and a bargain at $11.00!
