Shaddah Tuum ooze menace on EP

Album reviewed by:
SongBlog

Shaddah Tuum weave dark and ambient soundscapes that ripple with edgy industrial menace. Their shamanic incantations insinuate themselves into the farthest reaches of your nightmares where they take hold and pump out micro-tonal emissions.

Existing in the same witch-space as The Haxan Cloak, Demdike Stare, Blanck Mass and Oneirogen they make use of the same avant-garde compositional techniques.

Nicolas Lefort and Brandon Rosenbluth created this partnership back in 2013 as an outlet for their burgeoning use of computer production tools and experiments in the shadowy corridors of electronica.

Merkabah / SunInYourHead is an EP of volatile creative pulses. ‘Merkabah’ slithers with mechanised dread; slow-clanking machinery echoes in the distance as a pulsing beat taps with menace as static crackles and a screaming voice so deep in the mix it hovers around fringes of perception. ‘SunInYourHead’ creates noise and shapes in the surrounding space that can be felt as much as heard. Dark, demonic and hypnotic, it weaves ambient industrial noise into harmonic strands so dense they feel physically heavy.

The Dadub remix of ‘Merkabah’ amps the drums up creating a more urgent, dancefloor heavy vibe. Kerridge crushes both A-side cuts into doom metal–laden cohesion to top off what is an immense, hypnotic and immersive experience.

To truly experience the full dark, satanic majesty of their music it is best to see them live where the noise can coil around you and whisper poisonous dread in your ear, it is a glorious and profane experience.

Here they are playing Berlin's Boiler Room:
