We’re proud to announce that American one-man black industrial/power electronics weapon Uranium has officially joined Sentient Ruin to begin a long lasting relationship that will span several near-future releases, the first of which is the band’s debut album “Wormboiler”, seeing the light November 5 2021 on cassette and digital formats and now pre-orderable and partially streaming on our Bandcamp and webshop.
Leading up to the release underground black metal blog The Call of Night has premiered the never before heard title track from the release, explaining that “The radioactive mass from which it originates begins belting rhythmic and agonizing waves of skin-liquefying heat through all it encounters, and the grim knowledge that there are no mortal means of escape sets in.“ - you can check out the feature HERE.
The one-man black industrial/power electronics weapon emerges from the depths of oblivion with its first proper release, "Wormboiler" a full-length compilation offering comprising the entity's first 2021 self-released digital EP "The Glorious Void" along with the brand new and until now unreleased EP "Wormboiler", also the namesake of this harrowing long player. A radioactive abyss of complete sonic ruin, "Wormboiler" channels the darkness and scathing experimentalism of defining post-industrial acts like Brighter Death Now, Godflesh, Wolf Eyes, MZ. 412, Controlled Bleeding, and Genocide Organ, taking the aesthetic to a brand new extreme of overwhelming and bludgeoning post-industrial darkness.
As the band's name aptly hints at, Uranium was conceived as an aural vessel to explore the outer limits and the most irreversible states of human annihilation and the incineration of its most defining and triumphant achievements; namely society, progress, technology, and civilization, with nuclear power being both the primary source of such achievements and, on the flip side, also the primary (potential) conduit to the greatest and most tyrannical forms of complete annihilation mankind could ever face. Auditory terror both permeates and defines Uranium's music, with bludgeoning and majestic post-industrial soundscapes animating a lightless void lit only by the glow of fallout, drifting embers and falling ash, while harrowing infernal atmospheres wrap their spires around punishingly heavy rhythmic excoriations of distorted auditory mayhem. A death-scarred reality emerges from the utter bleakness and savagery of Uranium's apocalyptic design, as the listener is cast at the center of a caustic nuclear nightmare where flesh boils and evaporates off bone, cells erratically split into endless deformities and the world is turned into a mangled, corroded and rusted radioactive abyss.
