SATØRI's mission to document the stupidity of our species continues with "Pillars of Salt" - a journey through grinding rhythms, dystopian soundscapes and a fascination into what lies beneath the surface.

"An aberrant signal. Data loss. Corrupted programming. Everything should be fine. But it isn't, is it? Everything is fucked. Something has gotten into the system and is destroying it from within. This is humanity being consumed by the inability to think for itself. Ahead is the future. Just don't look back..."

Formed in the mid-80's, with previous releases on high-calibre labels such as Broken Flag, Cold Spring, Trident, Mindscan, and Tesco Organisation, SATØRI's sound comprises a mixture of harsh Industrial noise and power electronics with harder and heavier percussive beats than before. Their material provides a constant pervasive undercurrent of violence, the feeling of a planet on the verge of collapse and a reflection of the lack of humanity embedded in a culture based on greed and self-preservation.

Featuring guest vocalist Lorenzo Abattoir, the album was produced by Andy Swan (Khost, Final, Iroha, Tactical Pagan).

CD in matt-laminate digipak with artwork by Abby Helasdottir.

REVIEWS:

"Loud and without any mercy, the pleasure and the pain. That's what we want from noise and Satøri delivers the goods. It's not your standard scream noise, power electronics record, but a highly diverse dish with much structure, thanks to the beats and the chaos swirling above, but in equally measured proportions - an excellent album" (Vital Weekly)

"It's not a happy shining jewel. It's built on hatred, terror and destruction with crushed concrete and twisted steel providing the mettle. It's bloody horrible to be honest... what seems to be an ogre singing over the layers of dirty, nasty synths and drones as the beats hammer down like bricks on your head. For some of the time it is terrifyingly empty behind the noise, just like us, the void we try and exist in before it claims us back" (Fighting Boredom)

"Heavy industrial noise with darker vocals than before. There are also more quiet technoish experiments sometimes, but only to give your ears a little rest up until the next outburst of noise" (Gangleri)
