Music reviews of Heresy
Music Review: Worthwhile For Spending Indefinite Time in the Inferno
Rating: 5 Stars
The genre of "dark ambient" is confusing as although it is specifically related to the recent revival of the ambient genre it in reality draws from industrial music as a whole in its fixation on noise, an overwhelming dysphoric, dystopian fixation that is also post punk in origin, two starting points for Lustmord's early career. "Heresy" is one of the most successful realizations of the dark ambient genre in that it avoids the endless unrealized drones of dark ambient but also the pointless aggression that some industrial music has descended to. Lustmord is actually draws more from very early industrial such as The Second Annual Report of Throbbing Gristle and 1974-1976 than it does from the ambient genre as a whole while not to overlook the influence of:
Faust/Faust So Far or even: Zeit.
However, constructing soundscapes now with digital equipment has advanced enough so that the idea itself can be possible while lacking the creative process. What sets "Heresy" aside is the painstaking amount of work that went into creating it, the direct taping of subterranean caves and the elaborate manipulation of the found sounds afterwards (given the technology that existed at the time). Well worthwhile but would enhance some reading material, specifically:
The Inferno. The ninth circle in particular.

Description of Heresy
From the deepest vault at Soleilmoon, a much loved but long unavailable classic has been remastered, repackaged and re-issued. "Heresy", the album that launched and defined the dark ambient genre when it was first released in 1990, has been hailed by critics and fans as one of the most important works of its time. "Heresy" was recorded in various subterranean locations and manipulated in the studio with Andrew Lagowski (Legion, SETI, Lagowski, etc) providing engineering and additional programming. It was the first Lustmord album to feature extensive sampling and computer assisted sound design. Recent improvements in sound technology permitted Lustmord to re-master and significantly improve on the original recordings for this new version, which comes in a digipak and even bears a new catalog number. Brian Williams, the man behind Lustmord, currently works as a sound designer in Hollywood. His most recognizable musical contributions to soundtracks can be heard on "The Crow" and "Underworld", but he has contributed his talents to numerous films and computer games. His resume includes musical collaborations with The Melvins, Tool, Chris & Cosey, Coil, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream), SPK, Robert Rich, Current 93 and Nurse with Wound. He has done remixes for Jarboe (Swans), Venetian Snares and Mortiis. From 1985 until 1999 he ran Side Effects Records, the label launched by SPK, releasing more than 30 albums. As Lustmord he has released 10 albums and singles, as well as additional works as Arecibo, Terror Against Terror and Isolrubin BK, all of which were conceived as means to explore different musical directions. "Heresy" stands as Lustmord's signature work, and this new edition shows even more why it's been a best seller for such a long time.Alternative Rock CDs
