Feldgrau – “Mechanized Misanthropy” – [Agonia]

mickeyslim   9/24/2014   A Library, CD

Doomy industrial sounds from threesome based in Tampa, FL. Feldgrau means “field gray” in German and is a shade of the color green, used by the German army from 1907-1945.

The band on the otherhand, was only active from 2001-2004, and this is their only full length release. Pete Helkamp from Revenge and Kerasphorous on bass, vox and electronics; Destruct on guitar; and Vhex on keys and backing vox. Noisy feedback and unintelligible vocals woven in throughout. A lot of the tracks have a purring quality to it, it’s hard to explain, but the whole sound seems to pulsate like a cat purring. Couple long tracks (5 min+) on here. Turn it up..
