"It's a simple path that leads to a complicated vision; always in flux and never yielding to the destroyers." - Scott Kelly on "Oracles Hex"
Scott
Kelly (Neurosis) and producer/engineer/sonic warlord Sanford Parker
(Buried At Sea) are restless. This inquietude has culminated in another
collaboration. The two work together in Corrections House, a project
that also features the talents of Mike IX Williams of Eyehategod, and
Bruce Lamont of Yakuza. While Corrections House seem hell-bent on
impersonal bludgeon and unfettered terror, the pair's latest project - MIRRORS FOR PSYCHIC WARFARE - is far more restrained.
The
band's haunting self-titled debut is the sonic manifestation of
insomnia, complete with the tossing, the turning, and the perennial
dread that comes with facing another shabby daylight. The five songs
lurch and pulsate across a desolate landscape with an almost curious
obsessiveness. While Mirrors For Psychic Warfare
may remind some of the best work on the classic Cold Meat Industry
label, there is enough familiar Kelly/Parker-isms scattered throughout
to keep the album stimulating. It is a work with more in common with a
fever or a fitful wraith than a record.
As
a precursor to its release, set for April 22nd via Neurot Recordings,
today Decibel Magazine delivers the unsettling sounds of opening hymn,
"Oracles Hex" for communal ingestion issuing of the track, "Ambient(-esque?),
but tense and brooding, 'Oracles Hex' sits heavy, so fans of both
associated artists will find plenty to enjoy here."
Mirrors For Psychic Warfare
was realized and recorded by both Kelly and Parker at Actual 13 Studio
and Hypercube respectively over the course of 2015. The record was mixed
and mastered by Parker and will come available in CD and vinyl form.
