"The Triumph of Death" by Pieter Brueghel the Older is a dramatic, yet tainted with grotesque vision of a 16th century apocalypse. A peculiar collage of impression closed in a grim danse macabre - the medieval dance of naked bones. The contemporary idea is a bit removed from this archetype, although it frequently peruses the tradition (e.g. the visuals). As much as P Brueghel's painting is a show of visual teleologies, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is a reservoir of musical oddities. The War Office Propaganda label that has already allowed listeners to get used to splendidly arranged split releases, but this record is probably the brightest moment of the whole great collection. It's the compatibility of all the elements of this musical puzzle that is astonishing above all. All the projects did their best, exploring the chosen theme thoroughly.
The record is opened by a devilish track by the French Melek - Tha. Amongst moans and demonical recitation we can see an image of an ulcered plague, slowly grinding the healthy tissue. A pulsating row of guillotines, changing the body into an offal thrown before the feet of the majestically marching warmachine. War - the domain of the Polish project called Insuffer, that destroys with the precision of a clockwork, assaulting the senses with a grim, rhythm-driven dark ambient. On the ashes, among the ubiquitous degeneration, hunger erupts, praised in a hymn by a choir of ravens, maliciously meandering in the manacles of schizoid pomposity. Paranoia Inducta, the chronicler of those days, faithfully conveys the animalistic mood in the face of insanity and slow death. Leiche Rustikal communicates salvation, death is dancing in an ironical mantra of industrial grating, smiling wryly and reciting Arthur Rimbaud's lyrics.
A universe of grimness and hopelesness, served in a very tasty manner. A collage of oddities, the communicative value of which is almost ideal. Musical symbolism of the new times. A superb record.
