***Form Hell is the debut release by VICTIMS, the collaborative project of film composer TIMOTHY FIFE and VIDEO NASTIES member, CHRIS LIVENGOOD. Mainstays in the darkest, most obscure netherworlds of the New England underground scene, the work of these individuals has circulated over the past decade only amongst the filthy hands and minds of those in the know. Together as Victims, the two make synthesizer music inspired in equal measure by the highest and lowest expressions of the medium. For every nod to Subotnick and Mort Garson there’s a indiscrete wink aimed at Marcello Giombini and Walter Sear. Form Hell finds the two minds meeting and melting at their most damaged point: the holes torn open by repeated viewings of the most filthy of films, setting forth a pulsating kosmiche geyser of shimmering cinematic sounds. Perhaps if Tangerine Dream geared up and jammed immediately after their 12th consecutive viewing of Burial Ground: Night of Terror, it might sound something like this. If Michael Hoenig had scored The Gate before abandoning his analog synths, those fleshy little minions would’ve been dancing to the arpeggiated menace of Form Hell. Pressed on 180-gram 10-inch vinyl. Edition of 400.

***Death Waltz Originals is proud to present Séance Fiction, the debut solo album by composer and musican MILES BROWN. Coming after the success of Pavor Nocturnus by Brown's gothtronic trio THE NIGHT TERRORS, Seance Fiction is a haunting dystopian work that refracts the future through the past, evoking emotional reflection via striking synth melodies. Brown’s unique textures convey a sense of conflict, of the common thread of humanity struggling against the robotic claws of technological superiority, with the results sounding like the combined efforts of a choir from a religious cult whose deity is the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
