Latest Journal Entry: Prometheus Burning news - July 2008 July 10, 2008, 04:44pm
Profile:   [ NEWS ]  Yes indeed, Retribution is finally here and shipping to stores and distros. Below is the official word from Thac0 records: Here we present Retribution (THACOAC3), the unholy collaboration between rhythmic noise annihilators Prometheus Burning (Pittsburgh) and mad cyberpunk author Kenji Siratori. Gleaming, illicit wetware forged in an aging blast furnace, affixed to the subcutaneous in an experiment gone horribly awry. A dancefloor killer for the cyborg with discriminating tastes. This 4-track 12" is on red vinyl and adorned with a nightmare-inducing cover from Paul McCarroll. (track information and samples here) Available for purchase online at Wrecked Distro. Limited to 200 copies. - dave 8cylinder / Thac0 records [ BIOGRAPHY ] Prometheus Burning is a genre-bending Industrial project, focusing on experimental vocal structures, intricately layered synthlines, complex rhythms, dark atmospherics, junkyard percussion, and glitched out electronic noise. The pair have been experimenting with sound together since 1999, eventually giving birth to Prometheus Burning in 2001. Inspired by the early Industrial acts of their youth such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Download, Pyschic TV, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Frontline Assembly, and the glory days of Wax Trax, they set out to create an emotional, experimental, and harsh sound true to the roots of Industrial, yet innovative and expressive enough to push the envelope in a post-Industrial music era. Their "cut-n-paste" Burroughs inspired lyrical style and use of obscure sound samples are cryptic but coherent, painting pictures in the minds eye of their listeners. Every song seems to contain a story, a clue, a piece of a much larger puzzle, often containing references to the occult, chaos magick, transhumanistic philosophy, and cyberpunk ideals. Sharing the stage with the likes of Xanopticon, Abelcain, Terrorfakt, Needle Sharing, Scrap.Edx, Mono No Aware, and many other experimental artists, Prometheus Burning has proven they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to live performances. Never giving the same show twice, it is always a deafening and dramatic experience when they step on stage armed with a barrage of computers, keyboards, theremins, circuit bent electronics, and other unusual devices.
