Sub Pressure is proud to present Frost Raven's debut Dubstep EP:
BREAKING NEWS: psytrance phenom Frost Raven has just been released from studio quarantine for severe infection by a super-aggressive strain of the dubstep virus. Emerging from the primordial ooze of his fever-hallucinatory subconscious, the Swamp Walker EP appears to have manifested physically and managed to escape the facility, leaving no trace of infection in the blood. Citizens are urged to study 4 audio recordings of the mysterious creature for clues, but to take precautions against contamination.
“I am the beheaded diadem of rotting orgasms I am a river of serpents in the monsoon of a thrusting thirst I am the poet that dies by the pen writing spider webs on my skin deep within the hour of knifes that stabs the prodigious heart full of butterflies.” --David E. Patton, excerpt from I Am The Primordial Soup Of Swamps
Ever go straight from “hello” to “punched in the face”? Thatʼs how fast this EP gets serious. Swamp Walker embarks on an edit-heavy reign of terror before you have time to process the first tsunami of haunting atmospheres. Armed with grinding leads, stuttered percussion, and dark techno chord pads, this dangerous beast hauls itself out of the muck to throw your town into a state of panic – dancefloor first.
The 8-bit proletariat revolt is in full swing in Puppet Theorem. Savage, bitcrushed sawtooth leads surge over devastating breaks as a Tetris-glitch symphony unfolds into a breakdown overture that would send Alexey Pajitnovʼs robot clone into nostalgic freefall.
Playful, grimy, and gripping, Trinity is anything but Holy. Crafted lovingly by a true Magus of psytrance sound design arcanum, its monstrous leads will have you so swamped in adrenaline that youʼll lose track of yourself in the glorious assault against your senses.
Polaris closes the book on this paranormal investigation with a strong emphasis on punctuation, erupting into a tightly articulated ensemble groove between bass swells and formant synthwork. Marked by explosively disjointed rhythms, intimidating texture, and hauntingly familiar harmonic minor melodies, this cut says goodbye with serious attitude.
