comment: |
a raw, elemental force, charged with the tempestuous specter of
menace, void, and despair. its sonic architecture is a monolithic
edifice constructed from heavy electronics, their repetitive
patterns a relentless, hypnotic loops. this austere foundation
supports apocalyptic melodies, veiled in a subliminal, enigmatic
structure - an esoteric and avant-garde exploration.
profound lyrics, delivered in an otherworldly manner, intertwine
with the music to form a complex tapestry of meaning. the song
structures, while unconventional and challenging, exhibit a
perverse logic, creating a sense of both order and chaos. the
result is a chimerical entity, a bastard offspring of death
industrial and dark ambient, a spurious creation bearing the
illegitimate title APOCRYPHOS. it is a work existing outside the
realm of the accepted, a phantom haunting the periphery of sonic
legitimacy.
like an ominous, spectral tattoo, the album unfolds a narrative of
existential dread and cosmic horror. it is a sonic exorcism, a
desperate attempt to purge the mind of haunting visions and to
decipher the cryptic language of the soul. in its depths, the
listener may find echoes of their own darkest fears, a recognition
of the abyss that resides within.
bio : |
Once described as “The Infernal Picasso”, Michael always
aims to bring out something hidden with his music. Often his
methods move outside that which is regularly considered to be
musical production praxis. Working with plants, demons and
game controllers Michael desperately tries to lure out the
electronic music medium outside of the computer screen.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
This nfo is designed to be both human and machine readable.
We also bring a few more things:
- The filenames are appended with ISRC codes disambiguating common
dupechecking problems like remastered and remixed tracks,
transliteration errors, foreign characters...
- id3 tags include a lot more metadata than average releases,
some to name a few:
- extended genres (extracted from last.fm/bandcamp)
- similar artists
- BPM (also shown in the tracklist above)
- URLS for that release on various websites for listeners to
look for more info and to simplify nukers' jobs checking
releases
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.6
