SUBKLINIK "Musik For Dekomposition" CD
Since 1996, Subklinik has continued to create some of the darkest Death Industrial / necro-soundscapes in existence. Enter "Musik For Dekomposition", the latest full length from Subklinik, featuring six torturous expressions that convey a foreboding atmosphere abundant with feelings of death, and isolation, manifested through a sonic vortex of analogue filth and decay.

"Lo-fi, unsettling, and ultra grim, this immediately takes me back to the early-mid' 90s and the heyday of the Slaughter Productions cassette scene" - Jason Mantis / Malignant Records

Some new reviews...

Funerary Call – The Black Root CD - http://existest.org/ee_v3/?p=2844
"Funerary Call is the black ambient project of Harlow MacFarlane who also performs more varied death industrial sounds under the moniker Sistrenatus. Although Funerary Call is an older project of his, he is still active and churning out new material. This particular release happens to be a reissue though, originally released on Fluttering Dragon Records in 2004.

The Black Root definitely stands the test of time as this is some top notch black ambient/death industrial music. This is the kind of noise sounds that will definitely appeal to many black metal fans, with low chants, delayed piano melodies and more distorted rhythmic passages.

One of my favorite moments in the album is the beginning of the third track Works of Fire in which a heavily distorted voice proclaims a prophecy of impending doom. Because the first two tracks had lulled me into a kind of peaceful yet dark lethargy this strangely affected voice is even more sinister. The track continues into a more rhythmic, almost martial-industrial sound yet keeping the harmonies and melodies as only a subtle touch in the background.

The sound that Funerary Call employs on The Black Root is somewhere between the ambience of Inade and the more industrial sounds of Stratvm Terror. If either of those projects appeal to you, I would strongly recommend picking this up, a very dark yet intriguing work, and yet another great release from MacFarlane."

Subklinik – Musik for Dekomposition CD - http://existest.org/ee_v3/?p=2840
"It’s been a while since the name Subklinik has graced my eyes and ears and so I was quite ecstatic when I received this gem. As far as I can remember Subklinik has been around for quite some time but is a lesser known and less prolific project. They create dark electronic music and do so with clarity and vision.

The style of music on Musik for Dekomposition is somewhere between The Slaughterhouse era Brighter Death Now and the sounds of the more synthesizer based N. A very good starting point. I wouldn’t say Dekomposition is really aggressive at any point, the devil is in the details in these more minimal compositions. The album clocks in at just over 30 minutes Subklinik makes use of every minute here.

The sounds on Dekomposition are usually repetitive synth structures with ranging from more rhythmic lo-fi synth lines (Flesh Dekomposition) to more atmospheric outings (Dekomposition II) and finally to some lonely wallowing throbs in Extraktion Procedure.

This sound reminds me very much of a lot of Italian lo-fi minimal industrial projects but I really like the sparseness of the compositions, and the atmosphere here. Very giallo, very spooky, and quite mechanical. A solid work from this long standing project."

Funerary Call – Dark Waters Stirred CD - http://existest.org/ee_v3/?p=2848
"Here’s another release from Vancouver’s Funerary Call, as stated before this is the more black ambient styled project of Harlow MacFarlane also of Sistrenatus. This material is more recently recorded in 2008. Dark Waters Stirred is a more restrained album than the previously reviewed The Black Root and seems to feature the use of guitar in the bulk of the tracks much more prominently, yet never really coming out with it.

I would most easily compare this to the style of sounds that Aural Hypnox is releasing, this is dark, ritualistic, and monolithic yet detailed. The atmosphere is consistent and most of these compositions feature a droning core. There are always interesting details interspersed within, the high-pitched violin and breathing sounds converge nicely in the opener With Curse.

Words of Power features some great sound design in the upper registers with glassy grainy sounds echoing. The following track Miasma offers up a powerful distorted drone providing an intense variation to the sounds here. Dark Waters Stirred is an album that is heavily strengthened by the different atmospheres that Funerary Call is willing to provide.

Surprisingly there are a fair amount of noisier elements in Dark Waters Stirred most notably in the title track, and the aforementioned Miasma. The use of the violin is also quite interesting in the album as there is not any dark ambient artists that come to mind where a violinist actually plays on a track, although I’m sure strings have been sampled to death, this is a different twist. The closing track Crown of Iron clocking in at over 16 minutes is also worth mentioning here as it features a monolithic drone of harmonized guitar feedback and layered sounds eventually joined by modulating chanting. Once again the Stratvm Terror comparison is brought to mind with Funerary Call’s sound as is the Aural Hypnox influences here. Yet another excellent piece of work from this talented artist."

Here's some new reviews from Crucial Blast...

FUNERARY CALL - The Black Root CD
Recently reissued and re-mastered for Cd by Fall Of Nature, this Funerary Call album first came out on vinyl on Fluttering Dragon in 2004 in a limited edition of 333 copies. The Black Root featured more of this seminal black industrial outfit's graven doom-laden ambience, which sounds like Lustmord scoring a black mass, or utterly stygian ambient doom, or pummeling mechanical horror, at varying points.

The death ceremony begins with "In The Half Light"; massive orchestral black ambience slowly drifts through vast chthonic chambers, peals of distant war-horns blaring deep beneath the earth. Then the title track comes rumbling in on a black wave of doom-laden heaviness, crushing Sunn-like guitars and peals of industrial noise reverberating through the depths, monstrous growls and strange wordless chanting drifting over eerie minor key piano notes floating in the blackness. On "Works Of Fire", a distorted vocal recites some mysterious verse as pounding tribal drums and rumbling tectonic drones flow in, joined by more distorted chanting as the sound is whipped up into a hypnotizing fire ritual. "Dawn Of The Final Purge" has ghoulish cackling and scraping metal set aghainst a backdrop of minimal dark electronic ambience and droning synthesizers, and "Thee I Invoke" is a dreamlike death-trance of slurred growling vokills, deep dubby percussion and looped drones.

The heaviest material is saved for last. On "Furnace God", slow stomping martial rhythms meet grinding metallic scrape and screech, creating abrasive rhythmic machine throb that reminds me of MZ.412; then a crushing slow drum beat drops in, and suddenly it becomes almost like a pitch black Godflesh jam, super-heavy and percussive, pounding massive gouges into the earth. "For Thus You Will Sow" is another seriously heavy machine-dirge, with bursts of clanking percussion strafing a strange heaving slow motion industrial dirge, and putrid guttural vocals and sheets of black drift disturbed by blasts of grinding noise, and the album closes with the martial percussion and Lustmordian ambience of "Upon The Heath". It's amazing stuff that straddles the line between the blackest corners of the Cold Meat back catalog and the heaviest strains of black metal-influenced industrial, and both this and Funerary Call's last album Dark Waters Stirred are recommended listening for followers of pitch-dark ambience.

FUNERARY CALL - Dark Waters Stirred CD
Although Funerary Call formed way back in the early 90s, it wasn't until relatively recently that we started to see regular output from this influential Canadian black industrial project. Headed by Harlow Macfarlane (who also records less ambient, more bombastic industrial music under the Sistrenatus banner), Funerary Call has produced a couple of amazing albums just in the past two years that have come out on the Fall Of Nature imprint. Dark Waters Stirred featured all new material, and it's as horrific and nightmarish as FC's early 7-inch releases. Skin-crawling subdued ambience creeps out of black crevasses and across desolate orchestral strains, and blasts of blackened metallic heaviness rumble through the depths; listening to this, you have to wonder if Funerary Call had had some sort of influence on the music of Gnaw Their Tongues.

There are six tracks, beginning with the title track which starts the album with a heavy, blown-out bass dirge crawling through shimmering shattered cymbals and wailing feedback, while eerie violins and deep gasping breath heave in the background, immediately hurtling the album into a cavernous and thoroughly dismal atmosphere. The next song combines slowly pounding kettledrum rhythms with streaks of feedback and violin, cellos and distant cymbals/gongs, deep rumbling bass-heavy synths roaring in the distance alongside wailing horns and monastic chants in the distance.

It's with "Miasma" that things get seriously evil and crushing. At first, there's just mysterious creaking sounds amid a rush of cacophonic feedback and noise, but it builds with swirling distortion and huge swells of distorted guitar (contributed by Ryan Förster, aka Deathlord from the notorious black metal bands Blasphemy and Conqueror) that flow through the track's entire eight minute length. It evokes the feeling of being trapped in the hull of an ancient schooner adrift on waves of black sludge and howling irradiated winds while guttural demonic squeals and bestial snarling can be heard right outside the door, like the squealing of pigs in an abattoir combined with the chants of a black mass. Like a vastly blacker and more evil Sunn O))), this infernal, psychedelic industrial doomscape has actual drums come in towards the end, bashing out a slo mo doom-laden beat that's stretched apart beneath pulsating black drones.

The last three tracks return to the more atmospheric ambience. Troy Southgate from the neo-classical band HERR contributes spoken word recitations from the book of Revelations on "Equestrian Seals", his voice riding on waves of orchestral ambience and crackling hiss, looped strings and rumbling keyboards, far off French horns and high pitched droning feedback. Then the distant boom of kettledrums appears, met with metallic drones and harsh metal abuse, scraping, rustling noises in the foreground among the crash and rumble of sheet metal, the track finally exploding into a fury of harsh noise. And the closer "Crown Of Iron" ends the disc with an epic black dronescape.

Highly recommended for fans of Gnaw Their Tongues, T.O.M.B., Aderlating, MZ.412, Deadwood, Tenhornedbeast, and other lurkers within the black industrial abyss.
