Orichalc Phase - Violations

Keeping up the pace set by his acclaimed 'Respond in Silence' 12" earlier this year, Demian Castellanos and his Orichalc Phase return with 'Violations' a three track EP. On the A-Side, the vocal mix of 'Violations' is a beat heavy juggernaut of a track with a whole lot of cross-over potential. Mixed by Tim Holmes of Death in Vegas, this is a ravenously hungry, flesh-ripping attack of strung out vocals, Can-inspired rhythms, a menacing Jah Wobble-esque bass-line, screaming guitars and some serious sonic synthesis. Next up the 'Violations' (Dub), offers a stripped-down take of the title track, this time focusing on the pounding drums and monstrous bass-line; elements that combine to create a 23 Skidoo-esque club track for no-nonsense dance fiends and mal-adjusted home listeners alike. On the B-side we find Comatone, a clubbed then dubbed eight minute instrumental epic that moves the feet then melts the mind with it's devastating slo-mo reprise.
