about

( VOLTAGE / HARDWARE / OVERMODULATION )

Long wire tendrils sway between the steel overhangs, quiet metal bending in a burned-out breeze, swooning as if remembering a slow dance on a sinking ship. The sweetness of sleeping death seems so far away now that it is hard to remember how much of a relief it was. All the fire, molten green and alien, only now a distant thought, reduced to a layer of sediment on the surfaces of powerless machines. Blood-oranges and lemon-yellows, inert, suspended, unfathomably bursting into a beautiful purple, dragons of infernal smoke and black heat unfurling across the stone littered landscape, a quick breath, a flash of blindness, then so much vapor. The needles all frozen in the red, sentinels until the very end, rational and chittering and static, all rotting polymer and peeling paint and dead battery now. Barriers blasted open with the fervor of a thousand desperate souls throwing wide the obstinate doors of heaven itself, cracks running through the firmament, swine and bull and every weeping number wailing at the cloud-soft ivory walls, cast backward, downward, into a scorched Urth, now so deeply cradled on the rim of Hell that only these sulfuric breezes need whisper one last moment to brush the whole pustulent orb down into his shivering maw, doomed, damned, hanging on the precipice of the Last Great Orgasm as the Old Mother descends.

N.B. 2022: Originally issued digitally at CTRL BURN on December 4, 2020 as catalog designate BRN102. 'Arc' and 'Leaden' are two mostly hands-free live remixes of COAL's 'Scorched Earth', using that album's parts as singular sound source in conjunction with the R-EW Audioholistics generative system and modular processing path. With the closure of CTRL BURN in 2022, Black Grass is republished here.
