Imminent – Mythrality (EP – Ant-Zen)
Genre/Influences: Power-Noise, Experimental, Electro.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Quite a while ago Belgian Industrial sound terrorist Olivier Moreau released new work under the Imminent moniker. “Mythrality” has been released as a single on vinyl while the digital version features an extra song.
Content: The ‘roots’ of this artist are clearly Power-Noise like and this element is still present in the new work. But there’s no longer the initial power, this work having been refined by dark, Ambient-like strings. The extra song features heavy, blasting sound treatments.
+ + + : This is a great production for the way the influences have been mixed together. You don’t exactly imagine heavy, Power-Noise sequences merged together with great, Cinematic, strings. The title song is a great experience featuring two edits.
– – – : I regret this is only an single/EP; I just want more stuff like this.
Conclusion: Imminent strikes back with a heavy although controlled power-bomb.
Best songs: “Mythrality”, “Mythralität”.
Rate: 8.

About Imminent
Imminent is the solo project of Belgian producer Olivier Moreau, founded in 1993 as Imminent Starvation before being shortened to Imminent. The project grew out of the early-1990s power noise scene, mixing rhythmic noise with cold, atmospheric textures. Moreau also records as Axiome, a duo formed in 1990, and under several other aliases. Ant-Zen has released Imminent’s work for years; the “Mythrality” single followed in 2024.
