Decapitated One-Liners EP

REPRESS ALERT: Parrish Smith’s debut of dystopic forbidding sets the tone of this label’s impressive first release with a superb stark, acid ridden slab of body music. Helena Hauff adds to the proceedings with her remix of Pankow’s”Das Vodkalied” taking no prisoners and using heavy percussion in contrast to a wonderfully tense set of arpeggiations, which all descend into skull crushing pressure.

Carrying over to the flip side are Pankow, pioneers of the Italian Industrial/EBM scene, with two tracks from their legendary first tape “Throw Out Rite” from 1983. With “Das Vodkalied” disembodied vocals are cut up and come from every direction driven by a raw, off-kilter energy and pounding beat. “I’m Food For You” cranks up the drive and anxiety to create a killer track based around stark arpeggiation. Last of all, Perseus Traxx provides an acidic stripped down venting of frustrations which he spits out with vehemence.
