Violent Inhalant - Black Acid Temple

The dude behind this project was a friend of mine who died five years ago. I didn't know him for a long time, but I still think about him often. I got this about a year ago after wishing I had some of his music for a long time. Out of all the things I own, this is one of the most special because it's like having a part of him with me again.
This album has elements of a few different styles within the noise umbrella, but they never make it feel the album lacks a cohesive identity. Every part makes perfect sense where it is. Toddler Hunting is death industrial bordering on dark ambient and is one of the most genuinely creepy and foreboding songs I've heard (not even because of the name). It builds substantial tension leading up to the explosive release of A Shadow in the Skull, the only song here with vocals. This one is brutal power electronics and harsh noise, absolute anguish. Complacent Refinery essentially serves as a bridge between A Shadow in the Skull and the closer Beatrice Dalle and both are more on the industrial side. Beatrice Dalle retains some of the intensity of the previous two tracks, but makes it clear that it's
all over and everything is fading away.
Check out the Amputape bandcamp. Most of the releases only have a single track up to listen to, but it would be worth your time regardless. Jimmy played and released some of the darkest shit I've ever seen, both aesthetically and musically.
