Veyl welcomes back to the label one of the most essential and multi-dimensional producers today, Filmmaker. To date, the Colombian artist has delivered a plethora of revered releases from his breakout, The Love Market (2019), to his previous album on Veyl, Fictional Portrayals (2022). He consistently traverses genres from post-punk, EBM, synth wave and beyond to create a unique identity still firmly rooted in film culture. Now he returns with perhaps his most robust and powerful offering, Hollywood Cult. Comprised of 13 tracks, the album sees the producer elevate his sound to new levels, conjuring a world of haunting atmospheres and devious directions that take the listener through a journey of unparalleled proportions. Kicking off the album is the ritual-like "Secrecy," which builds tension before exploding into a synth-driven race against time and moving into the world that lies ahead. "Holy Wood" injects a heavy dose of body music for an infectious piece that bleeds perfectly in to the slow burning nostalgia of "Generational Trauma." Next, "Western Malice" picks the pace back up with its evil energy that feels fit for the best horror scenes before "Shocking Therapy" enters the picture with an exhilarating electro feel. Now in the depths of the journey, "Vessels Wine" continues the saga with a high intensity work that gives way to the stirring emotions of "Peacekeeper Ripper" and the raw, blood lust of "Criminal Rite." Now entering the final phases, "Spiritual Harvest" cleanses the palate before "Elite Dungeons" comes crashing in with a lo-fi feel that puts you deep underground. "Two Sets of Rules" charges back with twisted lines before "No Fetish Without Evil" unveils post-punk strings that puts you in a trance before "Hanging Finale" closes the release ultimately fading out into the abyss. Repeat listens will be necessary and the whole album feels like a soundtrack to a dark new world that is perfectly fitting for any Hollywood Cult.

VEYL 028B-LP

Black vinyl. Emerging as one of the most vital producers from South America to Europe, Filmmaker is back on Veyl with the new album, Fictional Portrayals. Recorded in his home country in Envigado, Colombia, the release delivers eight tracks of raw, body pursuits proving yet again that he remains at the forefront of EBM, industrial, wave, and beyond. While always carrying the producer's soundtrack influenced sound, the LP kicks off with the haunting "All About That Pyramid" moving next to the title track's driving energy while then shifting to the more cerebral programming of "Possession" featuring Bad Faith Actor. Things are just picking up with club decimators like "Splitter" and "Immune to Propaganda" while also switching moods with the more sinister "Orphic Eggs" and the mesmerizing "Continuity". Rounding out the release is the cold, emotional ride of "Far From Prospect", leaving you with a sense of dread while simultaneously questioning just what is fact and what is fiction -- something we never quite know in today's multi-dimensional existence.

BOP 022LP

Returning to Black Opal after the highly lauded Royal Dungeon EP (2020), Medellin, Colombia's Filmmaker issues a damned statement in the form of Late Stage Earth a four-tracker of scorched electro and slamming EBM. Perfectly poised and composed dance music formed over pointillist electro melody and swung out druggy drum programming replete with wheezing pained pads. Filmmaker continues a tear through 2020 with some of the most tuneful and memorable song writing in electronics.
