God Is War presents glitchy-IDM debut album ‘Boogeyman Inc’ – Out now
God IS War
A few weeks ago we taled about the excellent God Is War single, “Opium Den“. Today we can announce the full debut album “Boogeyman Inc” which is out via Profound Lore Records. Behind the project God Is War we find Lebanese American artist Mack Chami who will now go on tour with Lockstep this November.
The full length album consists of glitchy-IDM type beats across 7 tracks. And it probably holds the longest song title (track 7) we ever saw: “I Remember You Told My Parents That I Was Going To Get Shot But When I Googled You, It Was Just You And Your Cute Little White College Friends”.
Formed in 2018, God Is War focusses on an excellent produced blend between noise and industrial adding extra bass on top. His work has been released on labels such as No Rent, Industrial Coast, Phage Tapes, and Deathbed Tapes. The project really took off in 2022 when both âI Have No Enemies, I Permit No Such Thingâ (Federal Prisoner) and âPredation Perfectedâ (Closed Casket Activities) were released.
In 2023, God Is War/Andy Nolan released the collaboration album âThe Huntâ (Closed Casket Activities) including more dub and hip-hop influences then on previous releases, including even a full hip-hop track with Toronto-based rapper New Villain.
