Xiphoid Dementia – Prison of Hope LP Reviews

From Phameless Zine:
Equal parts terrifying and beautiful, this album is an assault on the ears in all of the best ways – pounding relentlessly while managing to remain musical and carry a sense of motion. A build of aggression slathered in distortion and echo builds the title track to a point of orchestral explosion and denouement, leaving space to awake and escape in the mechanical dungeon of “ Essence Concussion” – continuing the lush soundtrack to a nightmare.

EE21: XIPHOID DEMENTIA / BASTARD NOISE – HUMAN EXTINCTION ENGINE LP

*purchase this from the shop*

Human Extinction Engine is a split record between the throttling yet textured death industrial of Xiphoid Dementia and the harsh space ambience of Bastard Noise. Conceptually both artists unite in seeing a world where humans slowly tighten the noose around their own neck through “advancement” and “industry”.

On side A Xiphoid Dementia turns inward with cryptic spoken samples and delivers one track of pummeling industrial, one track of seething dark ambience, and concludes his piece with …
