The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video from BOLT RUIN. The Belgian producer delivers a top-notch EP on CDMX’s Infinite Machine, blending field recordings, twisted samples and rave signifiers with an eerie tonality. Born out of his nocturnal production sessions and time spent absorbing the silence of his studio garden, the black metal-tinged 'Ehkta' is a boundless sonic trip. A restless exploration of salvage-punk aesthetics where doom-laden black metal melodies, amen breaks and an experimental approach to sound design sit in an irregular and uneven musical apocalypse. For fans of Blanck Mass or Caterina Barbieri - this is a must-listen material from a fresh producer establishing himself with a singular musical voice.
Today we present the rave-ready track ‘Nehng’, where a frenzy of trance arpeggios and frantic drum programming builds and intensifies over its 5-minute duration. Inspired by Yves Klein’s ‘Leap Into a Void’, ‘Nehng’ definitely evokes that bodily rush of freefalling into the unknown. ‘Nehng’’s driving rhythm is switched out for the brooding ‘Tzarhk’ - an ode to the soundtracks of B-movies composed on a vintage Roland SH-2 (a prominent character of the Stranger Things soundtrack). BOLT RUIN runs thick, syrupy synth slabs and punishing drum patterns through a rain-soaked limiter the producer found lying on the street by chance.
Out September 30th on Bandcamp. Pre-order here now.
