New Brvtalism No. 127 - t_error 404

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from t_error 404. The Moscow-based artist delivers a heart pounding mix of industrial, EBM, techno and more from past, present and future. Active since 2006, Vladimir Cherepanov was an early adopter of rhythmic noise in Russia and that sound has evolved and mutated into the superb productions he releases today (see RND.R013). Be sure to catch t_error 404 along with Occult Code, Templer, Imperial Black Unit and more January 26th at Dissident's Destroy in Moscow.

The Brvtalist Premieres: Operant - "The Sacrifice Of Meaning For Power"

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from OPERANT. "The Sacrifice Of Meaning For Power" comes off the Berlin-based duo's new EP, Harnessed to Flesh, out next month on longtime Brvtalist favorite Instruments of Discipline. The project's third EP offering continues to build on previous works, but Harnessed is even more vicious and destructive. Traversing through an abstract world of bleak melancholia and alarming insurgency, the whole EP is a thrilling release that slashes through industrial, noise, ambient, techno and more. This is one of our favorite tracks on the release, ready to crush the dance floor with its deconstructed take on the classics with enhanced machinery and a lust for power.

With Blush Response back on assistant production and mixing, you can bet this EP hits hard and all five tracks have something unique to say. Out February 12, 2018 on Instruments of Discipline. Pre-order the EP here.

A Tribute To Genesis Breyer P-Orridge

The work and influence of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge can never be overstated. From their industrial innovations with Throbbing Gristle to the acid soaked dreams of Psychic TV, their influence truly knows no bounds. When news broke last year that Gen was suffering from leukemia, artists, labels, fans and more from around the world showed their love with an outpour of support. Among the most vital is a compilation from Barcelona's Unknown Pleasures. The label has assembled a staggering number of contemporary artists to cover, remake and reinterpret classic tracks that have made such a big impact on us all.

Vol. I contains huge contributions from artists like Peaches, Esplendor Geometrico, Norma Loy, Le Chocolat Noir, The Horrorist and much more. Vol. II is just as impressive with more great offerings from Alexey Volkov, Endless Chasms and a whole host of others. Available on CD and digital, all proceeds from the sales will go directly to Gen to aid in her triumph over her leukemia. A truly important cause for an important artist. Previews and videos below.

R A D K O + Monocorpse Video Premieres

One of our favorite labels returns with a great new batch of releases for Winter 2018. From hardcore acid to ritual electronics and more, you never quite know what to expect from Enfant Terrible but you can always count on quality output from both emerging and established artists. The latest group of records is a prime example and today we premiere two videos from from R A D K O and Monocorpse.

R A D K O - Cherno PPP

The Italian synth duo makes their debut on Enfant Terrible with the limited 7" of Cherno PPP/Brutalista. The two craft melancholy gems, infused with cold, dream-like waves that wash over you like the best shoegaze. We love the eclectic sound of the project and this is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Monocorpse - On The Other Side of the Mirror

The Dutch doom-techno artist returns to Gooiland Elektro for a new 12" titled "The Comfort Of Strangers". While known for his dance floor crushers, the new 12" sees a more cinematic approach that is very welcome and just as powerful.

Video by Monocorpse.

The Brvtalist Premieres: Eindkrak - "Semjon"

The Brvtalist is pleased to present a new track from Eindkrak. "Amsterdam's worst kept secret" returns with a long awaited debut LP titled Brullend Staal (Unknown Precept). Inspired by a night at a restaurant next to a car demolition site, the record oozes with crushed steel, acidic tones and the stench of old gasoline. A truly smashing work of post-industrial and distorted waves. "Semjon" is one of our favorite tracks on a very strong release all the way through. Out January 15th on the alway stellar Unknown Precept imprint.
