CONTROLLED DEATH is the dark side project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki
a.k.a. MASONNA.
In April 2018 he decided to make a shudder debut with 1st album
Symphony For The Black Murder then followed at the beginning of 2019 from 2nd
work in an astonishing black wooden box that included Journey Through A Dead
Body on vinyl and Deathwish Tapes 1-3 on cd and double tape. Now we’re thrilled
to see yet another mind-boggling work on double LP recorded during this year,
Ritualistic Mutilation in the Bloody Darkness.
Wild and amazing, this one is
absolutely essential for any fan of synth and dark ambient music.
Cracked
minimal electronic sound by Korg MS-20, unclear and disturbing voice with the
influence of primitive black metal and dark ritual in this new double album
which developed a moisturized doom world while wearing a raw material texture.
While listening to the records, each long track does meander their way slowly
through proceedings with silent pauses, but they nonetheless generate a
respectably dense assemblage of sounds. T
he smell of death is soaked in every
groove produced by the four vinyl sides.
The
activities of Controlled Death are like archaic revival to the music experience
before Masonna.
We can also find the pathology image of the early industrial
period and the shadows of Vienna activism such as Hermann Nitsch as well as
loose bits of seminal black metal.
The existence and art that pierces through
conspicuous consciousness and dives to areas of unconsciousness due to death
and pleasure.
Double
LP has been pressed on 140gr black vinyl and comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve
with impressive photography (of a cave church with the remains of the people
who were massacred by the Saracens in 999 A.D. during the invasion of southern
Italy) by Aldo Volpe.
Limited edition of 299 copies.
4 long untitled tracks
