BLACK MAGNET - Body Prophecy LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition Neon Green colour vinyl.
With the release of debut album Hallucination Scene in 2020, a new industrial metal power emerged from the unlikely landscape of Oklahoma City.
On Body Prophecy, mastermind James Hammontree welds the frenetic vitality of post-punk and metal energy with driving synthetic club beats, factory force physicality and alluringly stark melodic pulses.
Tracks like “Floating In Nothing” and “Violent Mechanix” feature both intensely catchy hooks and hammering brutal noise. “Sold Me Sad” is a quietly deranged lullaby that takes an atmospheric turn. The throbbing drug-addled lurch of the Manson / Reznor-esque “Incubate” is, at the end of the album, treated to a completely re-imagined and extended club style remix by scene legend Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Zonal, etc).
For fans of Ministry, Godflesh, Front Line Assembly, Nine Inch Nails, Code Orange, Killing Joke, Youth Code, Skinny Puppy
For all its harsher, scraping atmospheres and pummeling aggression, Body Prophecy always remains an eminently tight, memorable album molded for the stage and constructed to keep bodies in motion and listeners transfixed.
