Clock Dva – Horology

Ten years ago Lustmord (a.k.a. Brian Williams) and Clock DVA-founder Adi Newton were forging the dark audio-dungeons of The Monstrous Soul, a follow-up to the seminal Heresy. The disc went out of print, becoming a not-quite-forgotten legend whispered about on stormy midnights only by those of a dread-seeking constituion…

Earlier this year, Brian Williams (aka Lustmord) was commissioned by the Church of Satan to perform at the first ever public Satanic High Mass. Of course the date of that event was June 6, 2006, coinciding with the release of the Omen remake and a Slayer album, all trying to maximize the evil that can be ascribed to a trio of sixes. For his score of the event, Williams culled choice elements from his impressive career of dark ambient soundscaping. The Tibetan horns, melodic phrases, and monstrous vocal bellows from Heresy are prominent in the mix, as is the vast expanse of anti-gravitational drone which dominates The Place Where The Black Stars Hang. Tesla coil discharges, metallic airlocks slamming shut, hallowed plainsongs drenched in cathedral reverb, down-pitched electrical crackle, and elongated gong resonance also feature into the mix of the score. It's a thoroughly blackened sound of the self-made individual gaping at a vast emptiness of creation.

98 New Wave Club Class-X Traxx!!!, a Various Artists Compilation. Released 1996 on Antler-Subway.

Tells the true story of one woman's quest to help two elephant landmine survivors-Motala and Baby Mosha-walk on their own four legs.

During the 1917-1921 Civil War in Ukraine, a landlord and his family flee the Bolshevik troops, who are already on the outskirts of the city. The faithful doorman stays behind to guard the family's valuables, buried in the garden. During the chaotic escape to the station the landlord's son gets separated and returns to the estate, where Anton hides him in his tiny room in the attic. In the evening, the mansion is occupied by Bolsheviks led by Anton's son, Andrii. Anton doesn't share his son's political ideas and restrains himself for showing his love for him. Accidentally the young master witnesses Andrii finding the treasures hidden in the garden. When the White Army returns to the city the following day, the landlord's son gives Andrii away to counterintelligence, and Andrii is executed as a Bolshevik agent. In despair, Anton sets fire to the estate, along with the partying White Army generals.
