Augmented Atrocity is the project of former Kovana member Janne. Following on from "Anomaly" (2023, Aussaat), this album follows a futile search that goes through beating electronics, haunting tape loops and frantic screams. The sound squirms through the vines of the past with determination, focused purely on something that doesn't exist.

"There is a ton of distorted noise music here, yet it is still about more than just playing a load of ugly sounds (as some would perceive noise music to be). Augmented Atrocity knows how to pull back, go deep, turn on a few loops, whisper a few words and have a different kind of creepiness, only to return in full glory (gory) power electronics at the next corner... it reminded me of Genocide Organ and Whitehouse, but on updated machines. Brutal, minimalist synths, strict square waves, piercing right into your brain, but the variation does it for me here. Without those moments of quiet unrest scattered about, the listener can breathe briefly before filling their lungs and diving back in. Now, that is the kind of noise I like" (Vital Weekly).
