Genre/Influences:
Noise, experimental,
abstract.
Background/Info:
We here welcome a new
project hailing from London and set up in 2018. This EP (CDR format) features 4
tracks and is the debut work of Pillars Of Golden Misery.
Content:
This project claims to be
inspired by some 80s pioneers like Lustmord, Coil, Randy Greif ao. There for
sure is a kind of experimental/industrial/noise approach, which might remind
you of early 80s experiments although this is different. Some parts are more
abstract sounding and feels like improvisation. Noises and voices are sometimes
merging together getting a pretty experimental result.
+ + + :
The title track is for
sure worthy of examination (and still available as video clip). I like the progression
running through the track which ends in a heavy, overwhelming industrial-noise
style. Another attention grabber is the last track (cf. “Fear Code”) which is
mixing bleeps and crispy noises with an oppressive, haunting sphere.
– – – :
I’m sometimes missing
some cohesion between the tracks and the numerous influences running through
it.
Conclusion:
I can’t say to have been
totally convinced by this debut, but I already heard worse debut releases. I
think this project still needs to find its own style, but there’s some
potential hiding in it.
Best songs:
“Fear Code”, “Golden Hand
Of The Leech”.
