New half-hour cassette from the mysterious psych-drone project known as Anakrid, which is actually Chris Bickel who used to play in the hardcore/punk bands In/humanity and Guyana Punch Line. Anakrid has previously shared wax with their like-minded brethren in blackened industrial droneology, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, and the project continues on it's stygian trajectory with Ceaselessly Out Of A Cloudless Sky, serving up two contrasting sides to their sound. On the a side, they craft a bleak sprawling soundscape of echoin metallic clang, vast Lustmord-like black ambience, deep cavernous drones, flecked with vague percussive sounds and an abstract rhythmic quality that makes this extended jam sound like glacial krautrock, super slow and syrupy and stretched out over a dark propulsive backdrop of metallic throb and chug that almost sounds like the looped bellow of a train, surrounded by strange rattling sounds, ghostly chimes, and other black sonic effluvia wafting out of Anakrid's infernal incense burners. Not all that unlike the releases from Jazzfinger and Uton that I've written up this week, although Anakrid is far heavier and more rhythmically based than either, almost like a motorik Wolf Eyes doused in the black ritual ambience of the Aural Hypnox camp. On the other side, though, is totally different. This fifteen minute piece is an improvised scrapyard avalance, stringing deep veins of tectonic low end heaviness through a chaotic mass of metal clatter, crunching noise, pieces of metal and other materials being dragged across concrete, percussive and loud and frenetic, and sounding like what would go down if Moe! Staiano had a squadron of cavemen performing one of his industrial found-object symphonies. Limited to one hundred copies, and packaged in a neat looking layered cover with marbled paper and clear transparency fixed together with grommets.
