the ritual disconnect
dirt on the palms yields to automated controls
never fallow, never alone
row by row, shoulder to shoulder
hand on the knife, hand on the throat
to triggers and buttons chutes and spatters
battery, pen and trough
pointless, painless
shrink wrapped and sold
the market’s always open
without seasons, without patience
tetracycline and ammonia for endless expansion
a proliferation of cells and organs
patented lives
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

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
