about

As admirers of Himukalt’s four previous tape releases, Malignant is pleased to present the first full length LP from this promising, Nevada based, female fronted act. The project of the enigmatic Ester Kärkkäinen, Knife Through the Spine delivers a steady cascade of abstract sounds, festering with grinding pneumatic throb, coarse frequency blasts and sputtering electronic oscillations, with spliced snippets of processed, flanged vocals and a general sense of social anxiety and disaffection. There’s something uniquely old school and primitive at work here, capturing the claustrophobic, unsettled and fragmented sound of early Illusion of Safety or mid-late ‘80s industrial on a whole, contemporizing it, and filling it in with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. A unique and challenging take on heavy electronics for fans of Puce Mary, She Spread Sorrow, Atrax Morgue.

Desperate Soil Grows Poor Flowers
by Himukalt

supported by 14 fans who also own “Knife Through The Spine”

Darkest alchemy combining the abstract noise tessellations of House of Low Culture's Poisoned Soil with the psychosexual perversity of Prurient's Frozen Niagara Falls. Underground transmissions of a sadistic and anti-humanist ritual. Some of the finest work I've heard in ages. André Mélancolie
