The fifth album from the industrial / esoteric electronic musician
Colossloth (out February 28th via Coldspring), “The Harmony Knife”, is a
concept album based on the writings of professor Ted Kaczynski AKA the
Unabomber. It is not about his terror campaign against the industrial society
and the rise of technology – but his manifesto “Industrial Society And Its
Future” and in particular the elements of “The Power Process”.
With “The Harmony Knife”, Colossloth addresses man’s chronic, species-specific
dissatisfaction, and the causes thereof: “What is the fundamental nature of the
human condition? Is it one of misery and failure in the face of blissful
possibility? Is it the contrary unwillingness to accept that we can become
fully realised and contented beings through the success of actualised,
idiosyncratic, and often basic goals? In defining and describing The Power
Process, the twisted mind of Ted Kaczynski saw mankind’s primal need to
struggle for a goal, however small, as necessary for a meaningful life. Indeed,
without this elemental piece of the evolutionary struggle, he saw terminal
atrophy as the inevitable result.”
