OTESANEK - 'Final Recordings' LP (Nancy Jo / Reification Of Misery Productions)
Two track featuring the final recordings of the mighty beast from Philadelphia, OTESANEK. Very slow, hypnotic, filthy, crushing, merciless doom. Tortured addictions turned into sound. Overpowering, intense, frightening music. Ltd x 500 copies on a thick 180g slab. Screen printed chipboard covers, featuring the gorgeous art of Pippi Zornoza. The Ten of Swords on the cover represents a worst case scenario wherein everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. At the same time, it also represents a victim mentality. One sword could kill a man, ten swords point to embellishment (and the implication of self-fulfilling prophecy).
