Oh boy, are you guys ready for some experimental music that will make you question the very fabric of reality? 🤯 Because Lustmord and Dave Lombardo just dropped a new single, “The Desolate Shore Part I: Submergence”, and it’s a wild ride. I mean, who needs traditional song structures when you can have a slow descent into the abyss, right? 🌀
So, let’s get into it. The duo, known as Lustmord Lombardo, is releasing their album “The Pulse Of Atoms” on October 2 via Ipecac Recordings. And, honestly, I’m not sure what to expect. I mean, Lustmord is a pioneer of dark ambient and industrial music, and Dave Lombardo is a thrash metal legend. It’s like they took all the weird, experimental sounds from the 80s and 90s, threw them in a blender, and hit puree. 🍹
Lombardo describes the new track as “a meditative landscape that feels like a slow descent into the abyss.” Yeah, because that’s exactly what I want to listen to when I’m trying to relax – the sound of the ground moving beneath me, making me feel like I’m floating on a sea of uncertainty. 😴
The Birth of a New Sound
Lustmord and Lombardo met backstage at a Fantômas show, because, of course, they did. And, nearly two decades later, they decided to collaborate on an album that would showcase an unheard side of Lombardo and bring Lustmord back to his industrial roots. Because, you know, the world was just missing a fusion of ambient and thrash metal. 🤷♂️
Lustmord built “evolving walls and vortices of sound” – yeah, that’s a real thing, I guess – and then Lombardo added percussion and synthesizer layers. And, somehow, it all came together in a beautiful, chaotic mess. It’s like they took all the leftover sounds from the 80s and 90s, threw them in a pot, and created a sonic stew that’s both fascinating and terrifying. 🍲
A Collaboration for the Ages
Lombardo says he’s “very proud of this collaboration” because it’s “so different from anything else that I’ve done.” Yeah, no kidding. I mean, who wouldn’t want to work with a legend like Lustmord? It’s not every day you get to create music that sounds like the birth and death of the universe at the same time. 🌌
And, let’s be real, Lustmord is a genius. He’s been making music since the early 80s, and his influence extends into film and game scoring, as well as experimental electronic production. He’s like the mad scientist of music, except instead of creating monsters, he creates soundscapes that are both beautiful and unsettling. 🧠
So, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can pre-order “The Pulse Of Atoms” now, and get ready to have your mind blown by the most experimental music of the year. Or, you know, you could just stick to your usual metal playlist and pretend this never happened. 🤫 Either way, it’s going to be an interesting ride. 🎢
