bars, mud and cement
the hand that feeds is a plastic tube
snaking through the bars of a cage
reconstituted corn and poison
leaching hormones
breeding stock
move down the line
limited movement, limited variance
projected profits, extracted, accumulated
freedom from choice makes the best cuts
a cold efficiency
sterile halls weathered stainless
falling in line
value in pain and pressure
every step forward has a higher price, a higher cost
birth, selection
artificial light
husked and pitted
cloned and colored
cleaned and cured
and fed to the pigs
fed again to the pigs
get back in line
consumption as world and will
forgone conclusion, mute selection
hues cycled into primary colors
basic shapes basic death
towing the line
Thou qualifie The House Primordial comme un E.P. mais, du haut de ses quasi quarante minutes, il ne s'éloigne pas tant que ça de l'album en tant que tel et il en a l'intensité en tout cas. Le groupe de Baton Rouge change aussi d'approche : s'ils nous ont habitué au carnage de sludge nihiliste, The House Primordial est un moment d'horreur — je crois même entendre dans "Premonition" et "Malignant Horror" une déformation du thème de Shining. Le tempo est plus lent, gluant, mortel : un charnier. Jordan Vauvert
Is this the ultimate Drone-Doom album? For a genre that screams "copycats" more often than not, Elu of the Nine has put out a stellar and unique monolith of a masterpiece. It's not a quick listen but it is totally worth the time and trip. Deadpanist
Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2016
The Chicago punks seem intent on defying any hardcore conventions, focusing instead on communicating pure disgust for the rotting world around them. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 1, 2022
