Holocaust Theory is
James Curzon Vietzke & Scott William Beebe
Dark, eerie,
even downright spooky are terms to help paint the mental images evoked on Inception Of
Eradication. Deep bassy drones, drifting ambience and atmospheric shifts float
in timbre in Rain, the opening track to this release, warming the listener for a
cold trip into Holocaust Theory.
A marchlike beat of drums, synth and scratchy vocals wisks the listener down
the path As Death Approaches, a very cool track of impending doom for humankind.
The Noisex remix of CIG is fabulous noise-edge power electronics!
Balanced Chaos brings us closer to the percussion/noise-edge side of Holocaust,
reminding me a bit of Scar Tissue's power drumming and their percussion.
Gridlock's remix of As Death Approaches is again another
combination of noisey blowout, raspy vocals of our own demise and a rather beautiful synth
harmomy layered in and out of the piece -- upbeat and very well done.
Holocaust Theory isn't listening music for just anyone.
You really have to like dramatic intense avant garde noise-edge with a healthy dose
of percussion to enjoy this sort of sound on Inception Of Eradication. They
are currently on tour in Europe and the States -- a show I wouldn't miss if they came
within 200 miles of my home. Holocaust Theory expand their sounds
from their first release, Proclaimed Visions with stronger more intense messages
and music/lyrical/sampled compositions on Inception Of Eradication. Don't
miss this one! It's Fabulous.
