Schisolation-Parasite (2015)
“Creative
experimentation propels our culture forward. That our stories of innovation
tend to glorify the breakthroughs and edit out all the experimental mistakes
doesn't mean that mistakes play a trivial role. As any artist or scientist
knows, without some protected, even sacred space for mistakes, innovation would
cease.”

Bringing
together elements from bands like Godflesh (the Birmingham industrial metal monster)
, Type O Negative (those awesome doom metallers) and NIN (need I say more?) is
something that definitely makes Poland's Schisolation project, one very
interesting musical proposal that is completely worth of devoting our attention
to it, created by Senon Scheuermann, it reminds me of how impressive Polish
music has become and how prone they are towards experimentation, with more and
more music projects or bands coming from that country attempting to create their
very own musical universe.
From the beginning, Godflesh oppressive attitude is felt in the programming and abrasive riffing of the song called The Great Vanishing Act, with Scheuermann's guitar launching some really dark sheets of sound in almost industrial fashion, vocals might be another really interesting factor here, as they go into the deeper than night approach the late Peter Steele was known for when he fronted the mighty Type O Negative, giving us a big chance to listen to what a band like Danzig might have sounded if Godflesh main man, Justin K. Broadrick had accepted Glenn's Danzig offering of joining his band (in a way Blackacidevil was Glenn attempt at capturing that doomy industrial sound), but the comparisons are put aside in Overrated, bringing us immediate memoirs of some of NIN darkest industrial moments conceived by the great Trent Reznor, featuring a marauding percussive programing, an isolationist oriented atmosphere and screeching guitars riffs so talentedly assembled here.
Scheuermann's most passionate approach at singing is put in display in the groovier Celadon Bust, a truly incendiary piece of music with brutal guitar riffs, an amazing conjunction of guitars and programmed drums that works wonderfully, we got hit also by tunes like A Harsh Descent which are pure abrasion and aggression, showing Scheuermann exquisite taste for thundering drums intersecting with solid cascades of ultra-dry guitars, bringing once again the spirit of Peter Steele's vocals right from the grave, but the big bang comes after that, right in the “all out anything goes” Fitting the Collar which bring us pure noise terror condensed in a couple of minutes.
Parasite is an outstanding number featuring an ear grabbing mixture of Godflesh atmosphere and NIN studio revolutionary magic, but the incredible thing about this recording is that great tunes follow in quick succession, from the brutality of Black Swamp Water, to the industrial work in Endecagon, that and the brilliant use of instruments songs more connected to the ambient genre make this record one of the great surprises and a winning combination of different textures, atmospheres and pure blasts of electronic noise, I have no doubt that we all be hearing more in the future about this tremendous project, and about Poland, a country destined to make great inroads in the experimental music landscape.
