Forget the past

It's a dark picture that already emerges in the intro of "Forget the Past", when police sirens and metal sounds ring out. The press release describes the album as a journey to the inner apocalypse and hits the nail on the head. You are constantly confronted with abysses that are normally kept away from the subconscious. The world can be a cruel place, especially when dealing with issues such as terrorism, war, crime or the collapse of any infrastructure, amplified by voice samples and field recordings. Gunshots, creaking machines, people wheezing and similar unsavory noises can be heard here. The arrangements are danceable-hypnotic or ambient-like with deep booming soundscapes and church organs, which gives the whole thing a macabre undertone. Distorted instruments such as violins or guitars can occasionally be heard, but driving beats form the backbone of each song. On "Forget the Past" the fall of all civilization becomes clearly visible in one's mind's eye, and the album leaves a lasting impression. It's a wonderfully disturbing experience that lasts a long time.
