The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Prophän. The solo electronic music project of Othman Cherradi, based in Casablanca, Morocco, Cherradi runs the experimental techno label Rhadâb and is the co-founder, alongside Nova Ouacheb, of the Mindless series of live events, podcasts and radio broadcasts. The artist now comes forth on the always excellent Khemia Records with the new album, Those Who Fight In God's Way, 8 tracks of powerful ritual electronics inspired by industrial, post-punk and the undeniable influence of local trance-inducing musical practices and customs that surround him in North Africa. Today we prepare, “Beauty Is A Major Sin”, a track that instantly became a favorite of ours with its ominous, rhythmic features which leaves you powerless. From the artist:

This album is a culmination of all those influences and was formed at the beginning of the pandemic, a time of great confusion where I felt creating something new and authentic was the only way to get past the feelings of emptiness and impending doom. It is an attempt to bridge between islamo-sufism and industrial music . It was made with religious fear as a main motivation, the world is crumbling apart, the judgement day is nearing, repent before it's too late.

Those Who Fight In God's Way is out on digital format January 15th. Pick it up on Bandcamp.
