    Moloch – Verwüstung

    Moloch – Verwüstung
    Label: Metallic Media
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: US
    Released: 19 Mar 2014
    Style: Black Metal

    “The album includes two types of music, reflecting what I gather are Fjordsson’s two divergent musical passions. The first and last tracks are wordless dark ambient pieces. They are markedly different from the six songs that come between them, but they don’t feel tacked on. They feel more like steps in a ritual, ithe first n preparation for what is to come – the emotionally harrowing storm of black metal. The cumulative effect of these songs is both electrifying and exhausting. It’s almost a relief when the final track arrives… I’m kind of dumbfounded that something this good is just one more surge in what seems to be a ceaseless flood of creativity from this band.” (No Clean Singing).

    The truth in dark corners – Chain DLK review

    «The Truth In Dark Corners» is a recording of live tracks coming from the band’s 1985 Holland tour plus a closing track coming from a London gig.
    Back then Attrition were releasing their second album «Smiling, At The Hypogonder Club» on Third Mind and this release contains many tracks coming from that one plus «Shrinkwrap» (which was a single) and two unreleased tracks «In The Attic» and «The Aftermath».
    Formed on those days by Martin Bowes, Marianne Teunissen and Alex Novak, the band was creating their distinctive darkwave electronic sound which was capable to mix danceable rhythms and electronic experimental attitude.
    «The Truth In Dark Corners» contains good recordings of classic Attrition’s tracks (or at least they are what I consider their classics) like «Mind Drop» or «Pendulum Turns» and here you can listen them sounding direct and powerful.
    These recordings represent quite well the essence of the band on those days so I don’t consider this album only a release for hard core fans. And sleeve notes you’ll find by Justin Mitchell back then. I’m quite sure that if you a long time reader of our magazine you know this guy, because when he knew Attrition he was an electronic music enthusiast who became their friend but soon after he founded Cold Spring Records.
