    Qual is finally back with his much-anticipated second full-length album. On The Ultimate Climax William Maybelline takes the hints of his previous Cupio Dissolvi EP to a fully extended sulphurous formula. Eight tracks where traditional goth standards get updated to new, bizarre heights. The opener Black Crown is a brooding industrial, almost power electronics assault. Above Thee Below Thee is a powered-up disco nightmare with BM-like volcals, drenched in factory steam and urban filth. Take Me Higher has some sort of electro-funk bassline to it. The closing track is a 155 bpm epitaph reminiscent of Czech Doomcore pioneers Fifth Era. The past is gone, the future is corrupted. The is no time but the present to brutally unload this Existential Nihilism thus let The Ultimate Climax unfold.

    Track Listing :

    1. Black Crown
    2. Sea Of Agony
    3. Take Me Higher
    4. Disease X
    5. How Many Graves ?
    6. Above Thee Below Thee

    DMT – Ultimatum

    abril 4, 2016

    DMT – Ultimatum
    Label: KultFront ‎– KF-XXIV, Zhelezobeton ‎– ZHB-L
    Series: Znaki – none
    Format: CD, Compilation, Limited Edition
    Country: Russia
    Released: 27 Jul 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Experimental, Industrial

    DMT «Ultimatum» is the second album in «Die Zeichen» series run by kultFRONT and ZHELEZOBETON labels. The first part was released in 2013 – Sal Solaris «Die Scherben 2004-2010». The new album is a tribute to Dmitriy Tolmatskiy who unexpectedly left us in 2009. Dmitriy was one of the few journalists who popularized the alternative culture in Russia. In late 90-ies he created the web portal RWCDAX and his famous «Industrial Culture Extended FAQ» which unveiled previously unknown layers of post-industrial art for many Russians.

    «Ultimatum» shows the varied musical and stylistical planes of DMT. It mainly consists of compositions never officially released before, taken from CDRs which Dmitriy gave to his friends. There are also a few tracks from the compilations he had time to participate. Unfortunately not always were there notes and years of recordings. One track was digitized from an untitled audiocassette kept by the musician’s friends in his native city of Saratov. The album provides a glimpse into various periods of DMT’s sonic experiments from 1999 to 2008. It also features fragments of a live performance together with Alexei Borisov in St. Petersburg in December 2005.
