AMF combines body art rituals with primordial soundscapes. After 12 years of total silence comes the new opus by Aesthetic Meat Front (Louis Fleischauer): well-known multi-media artist of Sculpted Skin, Transformed Flesh, Human Instruments, Fleshexploration. In contrast to previous releases this album reflects more of the raw energy from the public rituals of AMF instead of being a separate concept release born in the studio. The only source for "Essence Of Rituals" are sounds selected from 9 public rituals over the course of 7 years. Those sounds are dissected and forged into a sonique dreamscape. Most of the instruments used at the rituals of Aesthetic Meat Front include the human body in one way or another. For example the heartbeat of Louis Fleischauer during suffocation, brainwaves at the moment of piercing and thereafter, amplified springs that are connected to the skin via hooks, the ultrasonique sound of an embryo. Thus the euphoria and agony on stage can be shared with the audience in form of sound. Ltd x 201 copies in a gatefold sleeve with download card. Act fast!
