Blood Rhythms is a constantly morphing collective spearheaded by veteran experimental artist and Chicago native Arvo Zylo. "Civil War" is a culmination of nearly ten years of ongoing studio work; a synthesis of Zylo's main focus: outsider power electronics. The result is something that retains the meticulousness of the studio, but without relinquishing the rawness and fortitude of a full group sonic assault. This LP explores the limitations of consciousness within the body, especially as it relates to the outer collective consciousness, and addresses the paradoxical nature of what most conflicts boil down to: if it is righteous to turn the other cheek, to be in the world but not of it, to die for the sins of others.
