GOD IS WAR and RED GLORY



“…war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence.” —Cormac McCarthy

“God Is War was first brought about by the medium of collage art which focused heavily on the colorful might and power that resides within all creatures of all sizes. Whether it is man and his rifle or a flower that preys on insects, there is violence, destruction, and even war on every level of existence. From the micro to the cosmos, we are all pitted against one another for survival. To reflect these images, God Is War sonically takes a much more industrial approach than my previous projects while adding more elements of violent psychedelia. Hard hits with swirling, dizzying drones; pulses and rhythms that slowly evolve and change with little to no warning. God Is War seeks to be nothing more than a pure monument to the ability to completely annihilate a life. Devoid of politics, devoid of pleasure.” - M. Chami, 2019

“Red Glory was born of frustration and the desire to create cold and simplistic death industrial that required little to no premeditated thought. Simultaneously, it is a dedication to the early (mostly) Italian industrial artists who so perfectly captured the aural essence of death. You’ll find no song titles, no structure, no edits, no overdubs. Red Glory is the last seconds of life before the light goes out. Red Glory is the frozen dirt of New England winters. Red Glory is nothing.” - Andrew Grant, 2019

KINTAAN & LVMMVX tapes out now!





KINTAAN - "Untitled" C62 (DSR75)
The long awaited official debut from Providence, RI's premier "extradimensional post-music trio." A disgusting mix of industrial tinged noise and sparse, dissonant doom metal with hints of psychedelia spread across four tracks, totaling 31 minutes. Thick, saturated production battling minimal, jarring composition. This is living, breathing terror from absolute masters of their craft. 
 
Listen: https://kintaan.bandcamp.com/album/untitled
Purchase: https://danversstate.storenvy.com/products/24588543-kintaan-untitled


CD version will be available through Annihilvs, with an LP version coming later via Concrete Lo-Fi.
All versions will be available with a weed grinder business card / download card. Photos & details here: https://danversstate.storenvy.com/products/24588543-kintaan-untitled


LVMMVX - "Let There Be Blight" C40 (DSR76)
LVMMVX (lum·mox noun \ˈlə-məks, -miks\ big dumb meandering sound)
Debut release from Josh Yelle (KINTAAN, HARD DRUG)'s solo "chamber noise" outfit. Heavily layered, looped, and rhythmic dark ambience is enunciated by the cavernous
pounding on the hull of a beat up cello. 40 minutes of miniature horror film scores devoid of any light or hope.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

Posted on Facebook, I will reiterate here..


"Full disclosure: I struggle on the regular with operating DSR, and I've threatened to shut it down (only to myself and my wife) about once a week for years. Working on the KINTAAN and LVMMVX releases, and thinking about other acts I'd like to approach / have approached has me getting sort of excited about it again. As I said in this post, I'm doing something of a "reboot" of the label, which really just means that I have certain acts in mind that I really want to work with and I'm excited for these potential opportunities even though I've connected with pretty much none of them-- but I'm coming for you.

Connecting, and in some cases, reconnecting, with artists and friends that I admire has pushed me in this direction. This is a good time for industrial, noise and power electronics. New blood is moving in, while the old masters are still churning out good shit, and in some cases, their best work. Despite my vehement dislike of the concept of "scenes," I'm glad to be a part of this in any capacity, be it through releasing others work on DSR or creating my own awful filth as The Vomit Arsonist."

NOTHING
- The Spine Overshadowed by the Rope - 2xCS Reissue

From the artist: "The Spine Overshadowed by the Rope" ended up being an interesting and rewarding experiment. Half of it is live, and half of it is re-imagined by Michael Hensley of Yen Pox/Blood Box. This collection revitalizes that record as well as unearths Nothing singles, EPs and other rarities. I am very excited that this long dead material will see the light of day once again." - JWW, 2016

STRESS ORPHAN - Cadaver Politik / R.C. KOZLETSKY - Pulsed in a Dull Glass Bell



 


















STRESS ORPHAN - "Cadaver Politik" C31
The first new STRESS ORPHAN material since his "Dogman" tape on Depravity Label in 2015.. and it's been well worth the wait.  Eric Trude gives us two side long tracks, both of which are massive in scope and volume.  Crushing noise gives way to heavy synths and intense vocals that bring the best parts of BASTARD NOISE to mind.  Heavy & mandatory.  50 copies on gold tapes.

 















 



R.C. KOZLETSKY - "Pulsed in a Dull Glass Bell" C40
The man behind APOCRYPHOS and one half of SHOCK FRONTIER brings us 40 minutes of sheer aural horror.  Recorded sporadically in the basement of Oneiros Laboratory during 2014, "Pulsed in a Dull Glass Bell" symbolizes ones own inner turmoil and battling against a mentally deteriorated state.  Suffocating drone walls, delirious, off-kilter effects and subtle use of harmony create a horrifying soundtrack to mental degeneration.  Cover art by Pär Boström (Kammarheit).  50 copies.
