“The agency of ‘Bludgeoning Simulations’ unfurls before you as a proboscis - coiled, serpentine and inquisitively searching for a saccharine hit of nectar. Instead, one’s taste buds are coated with the worryingly familiar ferric tang of blood. This album denies poetic revery yet delivers a kind of scorched catharsis - ill feeling, malintent and hopelessness are set ablaze and allowed to run free with reckless abandon. One’s arms flail as if preaching heresy, one’s ears sing with baleful howls, one’s eyes become dull, cloudy vessels for half remembered visions of calm.”

That blurb is, um, a bit overwrought, but this song kicks. Reminds me more than a bit of Killing Joke.

The epitome of experimentation, their soundscapes are enigmatic and hypnotic, even if you’re left feeling unsure if you really enjoyed what you heard or not.
