Background/Info:
Canadian artist
Paul Kinasevych set up Wet Nurse in 2012. While both debut albums got released
by his own label (cf. Male Activity) he joined Malignant Records/Tumor to
release his next full lengths. “Thanatosis” is the fourth album by Wet Nurse.
Content:
The early work of
Wet Nurse was driven by power-electronics, but quite progressively the
compositions became ‘softer’ and more cinematographic like. Nevertheless
“Thanatosis” is not what I would call a pure cinematic production rather than a
mix of heavy, blasting sounds, an impressive arsenal of noise manipulations, a
few drones and shouting vocals. It creates an offspring between
death-industrial, power-electronics and cinematographic music.
+ + + :
This album resulted
from the intelligence of a truly noise-architect. An impressive noise-canvas
has been utilized to create this sonic mayhem. It all feels like controlled
power! The dark atmospheric side of the album has a kind of disturbing effect
and that’s precisely what I expect from cinematographic productions. “Stitched
Nerve Drapery” is a great exposure from this dark side and has certain visual
strength. I also want to mention “The End Of A Rope” for the terrific
industrial sound treatments and multiple sound effects.
– – – :
This is the kind of
production, which is not that accessible for a wider audience. It’s an extreme
record and you have to be familiar with the label roster to enjoy Wet Nurse.
Conclusion:
“Thanatosis” sounds
like an appropriate title for this sonic mayhem. It has something sick and
perverted, which will totally satisfy the lovers of extreme sonic experiments.
Best songs:
“Stitched Nerve
Drapery”, “The End Of A Rope”, “Sexual Vertigo”.
