With "Interplanetary Degradation", South England's Beelzedüb has released their first long player. The emphasis here is on long since the album with its twelve tracks contains more than one-and-a-half hours of post-apocalyptic ambience.
An interesting fact about this album is its unique sonic appearance. Each of the twelve tracks were recorded during live performances including improvisation and spontaneous interjections. Thus, you can watch Beelzedüb perform several times, and be assured that each gig is a unique events with details that will never be repeated.
The music presented by the Plymouth-based act with a love for umlauts covers the whole spectrum of post-apocalypticism. "Interplanetary Degradation" is the soundtrack of a world in rubble and debris, it is the last dance of the survivors of a global catastrophe before the sun finally bursts, before the flood finally devours all soil, or any other doomsday scenario enters its terminal stage.
Cineasts might discover an atmosphere comparable to Lars von Trier's "Melancholia" - especially the second half of the film. Staying with musical topics, Beelzedüb can be joined to the ranks of post-apocalyptic artists such as Bohren & Der Club of Gore, or Edward Ka-Spel.
Beelzedüb create bass-laden dark and melancholic soundscapes located between Dub, Synthwave, Industrial, Dark Ambient, Trip Hop, and all sorts of experiments you can do to musick eschaton on synthesizers.
Despite its dark and gloomy atmosphere, "Interplanetary Degradation" has a quite energetic movement to it. Thus, you can really regard it as being the soundtrack for the very last party on Earth before life finally vanishes forever. Sadness, happiness, relief, and exitement are inextricable on these beautifully dark soundscapes.
