After a ten year pause, we've been getting hammered with a bunch of new material from the mighty En Nihil, that purveyor of dark electronic noise and tribal-drum chaos who released such potent slabs of industrial terror as Death Keeps and Blood Dreams in the late 90s.

The Fall Of Humanity is an end time vision written in engine oil, murderous thought-transmissions and crushing distorted muck, and features En Nihil teaming up with another notable American death industrial act, Gnawed. This Ep came out on the Italian label Nil By Mouth and like many of their releases comes in a slightly dangerous handmade package, this one consisting of a black plastic bag that holds the tape case, with a nail thrust through the cover art pasted onto the bag itself.

As En Nihil moves through the three tracks on its side, the sound evolves from vast rumbling waves of distortion that resemble recordings of waves crashing against the shore of some nuked-out wasteland, into surges of metallic scrape and clatter falling into an abyss of pure low-end distortion, and dissolving into immense black walls of droning static. An expert at evoking the sound of human society and infrastructure collapsing and decomposing in time-lapse speed, En Nihil's Adam Fritz presents a suffocating fog of ash and pollutants and incinerated organic material, a relentlessly grim and colorless noisescape muffled by the roar of concrete and bodies and glass crashing into violent disorder.

Gnawed counters with its own dark vision of collapse, starting with the rumbling machinery and grinding power of "Scum Removed", all mindless pneumatic throb and electronic filth that gives slimy birth to ultra-deformed synth/vocal noise and the pestilential buzzing of black flies. Once the horrific vocals suddenly appear amid the pitch-black death industrial, the track transforms into a nightmare of squalling distortion and putrescence, the electronic noises squirming over the engine-rattle like clots of carnivorous black worms, becoming the vile death-mantra of the second track "Solution".
