Prima Materia_Monism-1


T.F:R003:07_30_2023

Limited Edition Run of 50 with Silkscreen CDs in Maxi-single Cases + 2 Panel Inserts
Release Date: 12.01.2024 Pushing the edges of Terminal.fail's output "Prima Materia" represents a chaotic and hypnotic soundscape recorded amidst severe heat, and discomfort at the end of July 2023. With a deafening approach to sonic degradation, Terminal.fail deploys an onslaught of analog synthesizers and digital manipulation to push the boundaries of what one may expect from these machines. Through a relentless barrage of abrasive textures, screeching frequencies, and bouts of distortion, "Prima Materia" invites listeners to delve into a visceral realm of primal catharsis, challenging preconceived notions of sound and evoking a very much real sense of urgency.
