DEATH MASK

On June 6th, Death In Vegas return with new album '''Death Mask'''', where disintegration, overload and total sonic immersion tell a personal tale. With dirty circuitry and rough-hewn textures at the fore, this is gritty, unpolished techno; an audio outlier that''''s full of personality, and a bold artistic statement. It''''s closer in DNA to the grainy growl of sunn O))), or the searing intensity of Underground Resistance at their fiercest, and as far from generic influencer business as you could possibly get.

'I''''ve been soaking in Ramleh''''s '''Hole In the Heart'''', the machine funk of Terrence Dixon''''s Population One, Jamal Moss'''' psychedelic techno jams, the stunning minimalism of Mika Vanio''''s O and Panasonic, the layered drones of LOOP, and drowning in the acid of TM 404'

Broader inspirations are weaved into the album''''s fabric too; from his Thameside Metal Box studio and evocations of nautical ghosts, to lamentations for a broken world, to memories of a youthful Detroit pilgrimage, and the innocent fraternity of rave euphoria, there''''s a lot going on, acting as a chronicle of moments, and locations.
