SUB002 Subterrestrial - "H-21"

Subterrestrial's "H-21" is inspired by early 20th century exotic dancer Mata Hari, who was executed for treason in France during World War I after being accused of spying for Germany. Subterrestrial uses harsh, 8-bit noise and heavily aliased exotic rhythms to explore her often violent life and tragic death. It is believed that she was wrongly accused of her crime and made a scapegoat. H-21 was her alleged codename.

Tracklist:

1. H-21 I 8:07

2. H-21 II 5:03

3. H-21 III 7:10

4. H-21 IV 5:09

5. H-21 V 5:30

NEWS: Subterrestrial's Bandcamp site will be shutting down soon

In an email this morning, the staff of Bandcamp.com announced that due to “a few outliers giving away hundreds of thousands of free downloads,” they were going to have to start limiting free downloads (unless you actually sell your own music, which I don't.) While new accounts are limited to 200, existing accounts such as Subterrestrial's are limited to 500. Bad news for the many artists who generously share their music for free with the general public. The good news for Subterrestrial is that our Bandcamp page is basically redundant anyway. Releases are always free for download from this page (thank you archive.org) and if you really want other formats, such as OGG there is always our jamendo.com site. Bandcamp was really only useful if you absolutely had to have it in FLAC, AAC or whatever (and if you really want our releases in those formats, all you have to do is email me and ask.) We did start to get a decent amount of traffic to that site, which I'm hoping I can redirect. If you know anybody who uses our Bandcamp site, please direct them towards http://subterrestrial.blogspot.com. Thank you!

REVIEW: Infinite Inertia - "Tendron Carnalis"

One of numerous side projects of Vulture, Infinite Inertia is a monolithic generator of dark ambient music... or maybe DEEP SPACE AMBIENT is more accurate....

Tendron Carnalis is a collection of highly articulated sound textures that you can almost feel. Synth pads, voices(?) and other sounds swell out of, then receed back into the abyss from which they eternally oscillate. This album is a free download that should not be missed by fans of ambient and dark experimental music.
