A brand new seventy-three minute disc from Korperschwache, the Texan black-industrial drone-sludge project of RKF who is the mastermind behind the longrunning out-music webzine Dead Angel and the sadly defunct avant-rock label Monotremata. Since the mid-90's, Korperschwache has been issuing fairly obscure but solidly heavy doses of blackened noise rock, or noisy abstract black metal, depending on your point of view, mostly through small-run cassettes and cd-rs on a myriad of labels. More recently, RKF and his trusty pile of smoking amplifiers and damaged drum machines have been constructing a trilogy of cd-rs entitled Ouroboros for our Crucial Bliss imprint, which began with the Voice Of The Ouroboros disc which came out on Crucial Bliss over a year and a half ago. It's taken me awhile for a multitide of reasons - well, mainly just because we're perpetually swamped here at Crucial Blast - but we've finally issued these last two chapters in this trilogy, the Sacrifice... and Ritual... discs, and each one emits a bleak, suffocating fog of stuttering drum machines, Skullflowery feedback dirge, weird cackling goblin vocals, layers of fuzz and grit, distortion and buzzing speakers, all offered up in tribute to the great serpent. Sacrifice Of The Ourobros contains 13 tracks of this grim and grisly blackened hypno drone rock that resides somewhere at the stygian intersection between Skullflower, Burzum, Abruptum, and Godflesh. It's pretty frightening stuff, heavy and trancey and very noisy, and strangely catchy at times...on this particular disc, Korperschwache's decision to name each one of these tracks after a different girl's name ("Jessica", "Lori", "Julie", "Sabrina") adds an additional creepout quality to his skulking, psychotic buzz rituals. Packaged in an oversized sleeve with the disc attached on a plastic hub, in a limited edition of 150 copies.
