bcb723 Soundtrack of how I am going to close out this shit year. As John Bence explained on the Thrill Jockey site, the album "tells the story of a murderer who kills his lover, commits suicide and then accelerates towards God to be judged." This is accomplished through some of the most insanely terrifying music I have ever heard. Is this metal in a traditional sense? Nope. Does "Kill" possess a solid black soul, with ghastly screams, dark chants & an evil concept? To me - that spirit is metal as fuck. Favorite track: Alone/Suicide.

about

Kill is a work I wrote from September - November 2016, It was made with some of the precession instruments I made in my Garage, a prepared cello and my voice.

It was finally recorded in a large cathedral-sized space in the ETOPIA, Centre for Art and Technology, Zaragoza, Spain. Where I was an artist in residence for six months.

Kill is in three movements:
l. Kill/Aftermath
ll. Alone/Suicide
lll. Afterlife/ Judgement
