Apokalyptischer Noise, schwarz wie die Nacht, brüchig & dissoziiert, Erdbeben-artiger Lärm im Hintergrund, Stimmen aus der Todeszone. Sehr einnehmend, "nuclear downfall"-music at its best!
"The new album of Germans grandmaster of Death Ambient. on this Album the artist presents his noisy side. still it sounds like a typical Stahlwerk 9 album, but loaded with dronning and pulsating noise sequences and deep voices from the valley of death..." [label info]
....."Der tod nagelt die augen zu..." is a 5 track 47 minutes release of untypical Stahlwerk 9 sounds. Not that I'm in anyway whingeing. I find the eclectic mix of early Industrial influences combined with dark ambient / power electronic music a fascinating combination and one very easy to get into. You should try getting your head around some of the weirder stuff I have to review. Highly charged and atmospheric. That's the order of the day. We start with a religious chanting piece, with assorted screams, that soon builds up a head of steam of blackest electronics and gruff vocals. The scene has been set. Strap yourself in and sit right back. The ride ahead will be a thrill kill of epic nightmarish proportions. The music pounds away for the rest of the recording. Some slight melodic touches are introduced. The electronics sometimes flutter into lighter spheres but there‚s always the veiled threat behind that facade. The vocals are despondent in their delivery. Blackness be my best friend is what "Der tod nagelt die augen zu..." is all about. Brooding and dense sounds abound in a nihilistic approach that wants to crush your soul. The overall feel is utterly claustrophobic. The walls are closing in with no way out. The lights have long since been snuffed out. The only company at hand is your own inner fears. Welcome to the sounds of futility and despair...." [Aural Pressure]
