RELEASE DATE
7/2/2021
Primitive, old school industrial, with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. This is the first CD edition of
Himukalt
's cult 2018 LP
Knife Through The Spine
, originally released on Malignant Records. Remastered and including bonus material from the same recording sessions. There's something uniquely old school and primitive at work here, capturing the claustrophobic, unsettled and fragmented sound of early
Illusion of Safety
or mid-late '80s industrial on a whole, contemporizing it, and filling it in with an obsessive, post-mortem feel.
Knife Through The Spine
delivers a steady cascade of abstract sounds, festering with grinding pneumatic throb, coarse frequency blasts and sputtering electronic oscillations, with spliced snippets of processed, flanged vocals and a general sense of social anxiety and disaffection. A unique and challenging take on heavy electronics for fans of
Puce Mary
,
She Spread Sorrow
,
Atrax Morgue
. Himukalt is the Nevada-based project of the enigmatic
Ester Kärkkäinen
. Six-panel digipak.
"
For her first vinyl album,
Knife Through the Spine
, [Himukalt] has fully embraced the early 1990s power electronic scene, creating a dark, disturbing, and at times extremely aggressive record that has a tighter, more specific focus in its sound
