Karkowski, Zbigniew & Daniel Menche / Unleash

Alien 8

Describing this debut collaboration between Zbigniew Karkowski and Daniel Menche as heavy would be a serious understatement; gruelingly brutal would be much more fitting. Unleash is part one of a pair releases based around the same recording sessions. Daniel Menche independently mixed the recorded work the duo recorded together in Portland, Oregon. When asked about the outcome of his recent collaboration with Karkowski, Menche remarked that it was over the top with an old school feel and went on to make comparisons to a sound akin to an instrumental Whitehouse. It's a little more forgiving in the trauma department than the output of the aforementioned electronic pioneers, but nonetheless absolutely teeth rattling at times. It's not so much that any particular cut is the most brutal blast of noise but more a matter of how the recording works as whole.
