Climax Denial has been getting a bit of buzz this year from the power electronics/industrial noise scene that includes a feature article in the new issue of As Loud As Possible that just came out, and the new album on Assembly Of Hatred shows us why PE enthusiasts have been heaping praise on this one man outfit. All Of My Loves Are Like Dreams is the first official Cd release from Climax Denial after a slew of cassettes and Cdrs, and it's a killer album of neo-power electronics that is really heavy on a kind of twisted, unsettling ambience that often pushes the music into death industrial territory. Like a lot of PE, Climax Denial is heavily concerned with depravity and psychosexual themes, but the direct that this project goes in is more interesting than much of the shock assault stuff that comes out of this field, exploring orgasmic disintegration and body horror through sexually explicit imagery and lyrics. Musically, it's a stripped-down mix of PE and ghastly drones. Opener "Oh Mommy, I Am Dying" layers buzzing high-end guitar-like skree with distant liturgical chanting and a seriously heavy distorted undertow that sounds like super-heavy riffage droning way down below. The music is jarred by bursts of caustic noise and feedback, pounding submerged rhythms and throbbing machine squeal. The second track "Touch" is much heavier, a total immersion in roaring distortion and frantic over modulated vocals. "The Death Of Love" has gusts of machine noise and reverb that merges into black drift and droning distorted orchestral strings, while pounding drums and wobbly electronics fuse "You'd Better" to creepy pornographic dialogue that's looped repeatedly over hideous synthesizer. The whole album is like that, a really effective mix of desperate power electronics and atmospheric industrial sound, with lots of oceanic rumbling and these really unnerving high end drones that thread throughout each track, all skillfully assembled in order to create these truly chilling scenes of sexual and psychic disorder. After hearing this, I'm planning on going back and checking out everything I can from Climax Denial. Absolutely recommended to enthusiasts of contemporary degenerate power electronics a la Halflings, Navicon Torture Technologies/Theologian, etc, and fans of older artists like Atrax Morgue and Brighter Death Now are advised to check Climax Denial out as well. Released in a limited edition of three hundred copies.
