ANTIMOZDEBEAST brings an innovative offering marking a new chapter in the forthcoming album The Alien Machine. Following a dynamic discography of experimental heavy industrial albums and EPs released over the past few years, The Alien Machine is an instrumental album filled with technical aspects, soundscapes and an augmented fusion of genre influences. The Alien Machine is set to land on January 17th, 2025.
Opening the album is the highly textural and electronic driven "Antigone". Establishing the otherworldly mood of The Alien Machine, "Antigone"'s high intensity mechanical-esque electronics, industrial beats and subtle layering of contrasting melodies and instruments delivers a striking impact. The track transports the listener into an alternative realm, through an uncanny combination of the familiar and unfamiliar embedded across the musical soundscape. "War Dance" is a fury of hectic fast paced notes that gradually shift to become more chaotic and discordant as the track progresses. The unceasing momentum of the arpeggiated synths is designed to reflect back the unyielding nature of our modern life.
Initially continuing the motif of "War Dance", "Sanctuary" introduces a more soothing serene mood. While the intensity and chaos remains, the chord progression is brighter and lighter; "Sanctuary" eases the anxiety and confusion explored in "War Dance". Contrasting the steady constant of "Sanctuary", "Poisoned" arrangement frequently shifts exploring how quickly our reality can suddenly alter without warning. While the track's central motif remains at the heart of the music, dissonant tones and changing beats see the fluid atmosphere ebb and flow with ease.
The Alien Machine concludes with "Ode Wise Dragon". A final dark and brooding song. Haunting synths manifest as whispers in swirling motions above arpeggiated synths and rhythmic beats. It's a dynamic juxtaposition of light and shade. Despite the bright and cheerful nature of the lead synth, the shadows are never far behind as thundering bass manifests as footsteps, footsteps that are catching up.
