• KLEISTWAHR - 'For The Lives Once Lived' CD

The 15th album from UK industrial-noise legend Kleistwahr has retained the molten intensity it has always been propelled by since Gary Mundy (Ramleh / Broken Flag boss) founded the project in the early 1980s.

While the work occasionally seems as though it draws from the same dusty religious setting as some of Messiaen's wonderful organ compositions, there's still an all-encompassing blanket of ravaged psychedelia firmly laced with blood-flecked barbs to help counter this. When Kleistwahr's music seems poised to elevate the atmospheric gestures towards the sublime and elegiac, there's always a gaping maw lined with razor-edged teeth lurking nearby to help keep all those lofty hopes and expectations from getting above themselves.

Like Rameh, Kleistwahr explores vast and often searing swathes of sound, sometimes tempered to a more atmospheric approach and at other times cranked to the kind of levels bleeding ears make for a perfectly natural response.

Mastered by Sion Orgon. Ltd x 300 copies in a gatefold mini-LP style sleeve, based on the Broken Flag design featuring photos by Chris Low.
