DESIRE 093LP
|
Debut EP by Paul Von Aphid's band Zex Model is now properly re-released on 12'' wax by Desire. Originally released as a digital download only, First Mutation has been remastered, has new artwork and two bonus tracks taken from early live rehearsals. Much rawer than the full-length follow-up Mind Slaughter (DESIRE 092LP), Aphid captures the alienation of early Skinny Puppy circa their 1983-1985 period with the weird rockin' sound of the first Revolting Cocks album plus a good dose of the most aggressive Wiseblood tracks and Ministry's Twitch. Composed, recorded and mixed by the artist, who was incredibly wasted at the time, the sound might be a bit naïve, but it's very authentic and could have been released in 1985 or 1986. 300 copies on solid red vinyl. 350 gram sleeve with an insert. Includes a download card.

DESIRE 092LP
|
Zex Model is the project (started in September 2012) of Paul Von Aphid, a young Russian musician who re-imagines and re-models the classic sound of 80's Wax Trax and Antler's bands by adding a personal twist of his own experience living in urban dystopia. After his debut EP First Mutation (released digitally in May 2013 and soon to be reissued with bonus material on Desire), this is his full-length LP. Work on Mind Slaughter took about 10 months in a few home studios, with the strong help of hallucinogens and herbal dopings, and constant re-watching of old '80s horror animes for sampling and personal hell as influence, to establish the new/old sound of EBM dance paranoia. Recommended if you like Skinny Puppy, Ganzheit, GRUMH, The Klinik, etc. First pressing on grey vinyl. Limited edition of 300 copies. Includes a 12"x12" insert and download coupon.
