MENTAL DESTRUCTION (all records)

 Back to the posts on Ritualistic Nature, this one its a little different from the sounds i usually disclose here, the first reason is that i Like a Lot this music project along time ago, and was one of my first approach to the real industrial music, the second reason is that this AMAZING project have in all their records some great industrial tribal percussions whith great ambient parts and sometimes e could say that they are very ritual too, but beware the sound of these artists who are currently inactive, I think ...requires a preparedness from the listener, to take in the splendor of his creativity, that is full

of noise, experimentation, guttural and distorted voices, meditative dark ambient sounds with soft and hard industrial sounds and other things. I had already placed three of these four albums in the old blog that was a member, "the rosemary locale", that i decide to tranfer here.

"Mental Destruction is/was the industrial project of the Durling brothers, originally aided by third member Jonas Blåberg, and is one of the more significant early industrial artists in Scandinavia. They refer to their music as "orthodox industrial", as the inspiration of the lyrics is their devotion to Christ. Mental Destruction were involved in another side-project Azure Skies, the latest news on their site (2007) indicate that they are working in a new studio material...

All records are HIGGLY RECOMMEND.
