The reissue of Swedish power electronics act IRM's "Anthology", a collection originally released in 2012 (Autarkeia). Having started out in 1997 when Erik Jarl asked Martin Bladh to join him, IRM have matured from bedroom autodidacts to masters of the studio environment.
Taking their cue from the confrontational sounds of Brighter Death Now and Whitehouse on their debut, IRM have honed their sound on each album and eventually fleshed out the sonic tapestry by the addition of Mikael Oretoft on bass. By tapping into the mindsets of outsider artists / authors such as Mishima, Rudolf Schwarzkogler and Francis Bacon, their obsessions with pain, purity and beauty leaked into Bladh's personal lyrics. This aesthetic amalgamated with the volcanic eruptions of Jarl and Oretoft have set IRM apart as true originators in the diluted sea of contemporary power electronics.
Containing tracks scattered across small releases and compilations, the first disc contains studio recordings, while the second consists of live recordings. Presented in a 6-panel double-digipak with a 16-page booklet featuring information, lyrics, and artwork by Martin Blah.
