about

Warlord is the latest full-length album from Kjostad, the follow up to last year's Extinctionist released on Chondritic Sound. This is the evolution of Kjostad's approach in every aspect, an attempt to distill 7 years of development into the project's finest work yet. The place-based field recordings are more intimate. The environmental explorations are more harrowing. Hissing tape loops collide with pulsing electronics. The noise clatters, clangs, and grinds across six tracks that investigate a violent past while anticipating an even darker future. Warlord sounds like shallow graves on the forest floor; like cold air on a cloudless night; like thousands of years of geological cruelty distilled into brief moments. The album builds to a climax that is either hopeful or bleak, depending on the individual listener's experience. Warlord is a soundtrack to world's end, and to world's beginning.

Parts of 'Signaler' sound like someone tumbling down a large hill ass over teakettle with a full drum kit in tow. I think those raucous clobbering drum clusters and the malleable suffocated noise that Altar of Flies manages to concoct sold me on this. Nice work. Not for delicate eardrums. Lost Tribe Sound
