about

All vocals/wordsounds written and performed by Black Saturn

'Ancient Kingdom' is the first full length release project coupling Black Saturn's spoken words with subduxtion's 'noise'. An innovative album, the beats remain dark, haunting and at times claustrophobic. Static sizzles throughout the opening track, 'Simulation Failure', threatening to catch alight at regular intervals. The pictures painted by the lyrics certainly aren't pretty but are occasionally lost amongst the distorted beats. Slightly nauseating at times due to the undercurrent created by the crackling distortion, complete listens are certainly a challenge but a challenge that is worth undertaking due to the nature of the rewards on offer. This is an album for those that have enjoyed recent offerings from the likes of Saul Williams and Argumentix.
Mark Whiffin / Tasty Fanzine
