IRM — Indications of Nigredo
More Info
"... IRM hat sich fr Indications of Nigredo (Seger 23, 12) mit dem Bassisten Mikael Oretoft verstrkt, der Jarls Knurschelektronik mit dunklen Twangs durchsetzt. Vor dieser sich langsam aufbauenden Wall of Sound wirken Bladhs Einwrfe seltsam dnn und wie kastriert. Der grusig harsche Noise kommt als gnadenloses Mahlwerk ins Rollen, die Stimme klingt immer gequlter und panischer. Wieder gefasst, stellt sich Bladh einem zweiten Hrtetest und verliest die Versuchsanordnung. Dann berdrhnt und umflattert ihn Indicator 2, ein Sturm aus Noise und Eis, unter dessen Pfeilhagel er sich als Hl. Sebastian windet. Beatkaskaden und zeitlupiges Bassgedrhn geben der Inszenierung einen rituellen Anstrich. Bladh schreit wie am Spie Parolen, um anschlieend seine Wunden zu lecken. Ist der wirkliche Name des jungen Mannes Narziss? Oder Marsyas?" [Bad Alchemy]
"On the theme of alchemy and the topics of shame vs. bodily self infliction, IRM makes way for a new start after the inspired Virgin Mind double-disc set from 2005. These are new recordings with the new member Mikael Oretoft joining on bass. Two long tracks - the first being an intense up-building, deep pulsating number with both spoken and rough vocals, volcanic exaggerated bass noise and doom-laden atmosphere. The second more of an aftermath with its downspiralling, almost dreamy character of echoing tones, ripping clangs and chilling audio-schmerz. In total over 23 minutes of music in a glossy colour sleeve with gross artwork and a small insert. Edition of 500 copies." [label info]
"... What fascinates with IRM's approach to power electronics is the intelligent construction of the works. Apparently it is not the question of shocking the listener with the sounds of collapsing electronics. More likely the trio invites you into dark territories of electronic sound, - territories that in the first moments seems harmless, but soon after turns out to be a true noise monster. A noise monster, where the emotional impact remains and thus makes the storm of crushing electronics even more overwhelming as they attack the listener. A true masterpiece of apocalyptic art."[NM / Vital Weekly]
