THE HUMAN QUENA ORCHESTRA - 'The Politics Of The Irredeemable' CD (Crucial Blast)
This second monstrous disc from THQO is equal parts blackened glacial industrial, nightmarishly dosed drone music, and punishing slow-motion mecha-sludge. Imagine a cross between Corrupted and Sunroof. "...exquisitely epic (and obliterating) sonic journey through landscapes of burnt out Black Metal, and onwards trudgefully past a Burke Shelley rehearsal and fallen statues of the Doom God Dubin, through a Wodenist environment wherein tortured vocalists serenade crows and tree-impaled musicians set off Nadja samples to long-rotting corpses" (Julian Cope). Comes in a hardback, gatefold digifile.
