about

Brandon Artus, otherwise known as Maltreatment presents his first release on Minimal Impact, a C20 containing thirteen bursts of harsh noise articulations. Multiple sound sources are put to the test, each amplified or otherwise interrupting whichever signals were preceding in this frantic journey into abject reality.

Following on from appearances on Cloister Recordings, Black Ring Rituals, and Shrouded Recordings in 2021, among others, Swelling continues on with an affectual interest in cruelty and betrayal. The subjects at hand are left ambiguous enough to conjure up images of any number of contemporary crises, but it's safe to say that criminal activity and / or negligence are undoubtedly on the mind of Artus. Metal and glass crash over surges of unrecognisable blown out audio. At times speech can be heard, but only momentarily. You can make your own mind up on the specifics here.

Recorded loud on unbranded new old stock in an edition of 30 handnumbered copies.

What sounds like an electric Mayan death whistle trying to escape a slowly churning pit of black electronic disturbance. This is my introduction to this artist but I will be seeking out more of their work. Great release! miredsounds

May Their Deeds Inspire Our Actions

This album is a tour de force in harmonic distortion. I love it most because it speaks to my soul. The track "Souvenirs" is particularly beautiful to me, because it reminds me of the 3rd leg of an acid trip I took several years ago. Souvenirs would have been the perfect soundtrack. This album goes together with some double-dipped Windowpane or Spider-Man blotter like cheddar cheese and apple pie. You might not think that sounds particularly pleasant, but have you actually tried it? Blxculx
