Gruntsplatter “Chronicling the Famine” [Desolation House]

Scott E. Candey’s sophisticated sci-fi s’ance of dark ambient noise. Sounds like a gargantuan galactic tarantula’s slimy cavernous lair, teaming with thousands of spindly legged arachnids, mandibles dripping with ooze. This is quite an astonishing nebulous of electro-experimental atmospherics and abrasive auditory inclinations towards outer spaces? furthest reaches. Digital electronic sequences and scratching noise samples seize hold of the very air, permeating the ear canal, pulsing through receptive nerve endings. Experimental & ambient electronic pioneer, Robert Rich, not only gives his blessing on Chronicling the Famine, he mastered the album. If Candey’s inspiration stems from esoteric literature, histories, and his emotional state of mind, consider Gruntsplatter his looking glass into drastic social decay and morbid psychosis.
