about

The 2000 debut release from Skincage (Jon Ray) and the first release from Malignant's imprint Malignant Antibody Skincage shares the same dense & evocative sample/loop construction as SGS or Iron Halo Device, yet has a contextual style that brings to mind Coil or later-day Shinjuku Thief. Skincage treats us to a dense pallet of electronics, found sounds, acoustic samples, and electrical glitches. But unlike the typical dark ambient work, the Axon album is brighter, noisier, and covers a remarkable range of compositional styles and textures -- often all within the same track. Both cinematic and emotionally deep, Axon suggests a contemplative storyline of personal pain, pestilence, and isolation, interwoven with a strong sense of internal exploration and discovery. Indeed, Axon is the result of a two year recording process that chronicles a time of artistic awakening and deep personal loss. The pervasive mood of Skincage is perhaps best summarized by the artist's own definition: "the state of being a mind trapped within the confines of a body with unending absolute awareness of those constrictions." If you too have felt the suffocating claustrophobia of your own skin, or if you seek an ever-shifting journey into the tangled nervescape of your mind... then Skincage: Axon is the treatment. Skincage is a serious must-have for any experimental / soundtrack / dark-ambient collection.

Mdłości
by Mgła

supported by 12 fans who also own “Axon”

Black metal en su forma más pura. No suele ser uno de los trabajos más recordados de Mgła, pero sin duda es de los mejores. Lo considero un punto de inflexión en su discografía, ya que el salto de calidad de Presence a este EP es abismal. Es, además, el primer trabajo de la banda con la alineación que se ha mantenido hasta hoy. Y se nota. Si alguna vez alguien me pidiera un sólo trabajo para definir qué es el black metal, sin duda elegiría Mdłości como referente. Gon)))
