about

Harsh noise soloist RACK and prolific extreme experimenter GRIDFAILURE have coalesced on a collaborative seventy-three-minute movement, The Sun Exploded,

RACK delivers its first output in over a decade on The Sun Exploded, with unreleased material from a decade or more ago and newly recorded sounds meshed into a spiraling vortex of madness with longtime ally David Brenner’s bountiful GRIDFAILURE project. Elements born of a varied spectrum of extreme sounds here coalesce into an oppressive and dynamic experience, as spiraling swells of blackened scourge, postindustrial beatings, lo-fi free-jams, scathing noise, and indecipherable vocal transmissions intertwine into a vacuum of sheer auditory cruelty. Ambient textures of clanging low-end emanations pour forth from a moss-coated underworld into the scorched earth reality of our current environment.

The RACK contributions to The Sun Exploded date back to the outfit’s early and most prolific days over a decade ago, then as sections and structural elements for a project never realized. Brenner resurrected the files through GRIDFAILURE in 2019, at which point The Sun Exploded began to take form. Through a biomechanical unification, these resuscitated elements and new elements from Rack are layered with suffocating new instrumentation, field recordings, and lunatic sound design from Brenner, and realized as one uninterrupted movement clocking in at an hour and thirteen minutes in length. Bass, guitars, keys/synthesizers, powerelectronics pedal/noise assaults, a wide array of drum machines and other forms of percussion, cavernous layers of vocal torment, and much more combine and devolve into auditory asphyxiation.The Sun Exploded was mastered by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering (Kool Keith, Krieg, Thetan) and completed with art/design by Brenner.
