Today, Dunkelheit Produktionen sets May 1st for Subduer’s striking debut EP, Death Monolith. Much like they did with Kapala’s debut EP last year, Dunkelheit unleashes pure sonic cruelty with Death Monolith: simply put, Subduer are against everything and all, and suitably detonate lo-fi terrorist death-noise.
Subduer’s origins and membership are a mystery, but we do know they hail from Germany and comprise a duo of Shemhamforash on drums and Az-Zabaniyya on guitars and bass. Do both handle vocals? Possibly, but even one cursory listen to their Death Monolith debut EP and it becomes clear that they’re coming at you from every angle. Nothing but total audial decimation is on their minds; their tools are crude composites of “instruments,” and they wrangle forth every last, licentious noise they can from them. “Riffs,” then, are not so much written as doled out like artillery and duly mangled from there. Howling ‘n’ haunting noise blankets nearly every decibel spewed forth like festering radioactive disease: Death Monolith is thus more like nuclear fallout than proper “music.”
Define them how you want (or not), Subduer could care less; only absolute blackout-unto-whiteout matters. Crush, kill, destroy…and then scatter the ashes to the wind. There lies the Death Monolith. Diehards of Nyogthaeblisz and Tetragrammacide, prepare to meet your new gods!
