For Kollaps, this isn’t an empty ‘industrial’ gesture. It’s a way to literally use the detritus of postmodern society against itself." Price (incl. 19% VAT): €18.00 More Info "Following 2015’s debut EP release ‘Heartworm’, Melbourne industrialists Kollaps have refined their restless brand of harsh DIY post-industrial noise. Recruiting doom/noise veteran Damian Coward [Heirs, High Tension] to bass/percussion/production in 2016, Wade Black (vocals) and Robin W. Marsh’s (drums, programming), ‘Sibling Lovers’ intensifies the conflict between the twin energies of confusion and control at the core of Kollaps’ sound. The band’s habitually uneasy textures and crude tones are generated with appropriated non-instruments- scrap metal, raw plastics, steel beams. For Kollaps, this isn’t an empty ‘industrial’ gesture. It’s a way to literally use the detritus of postmodern society against itself. Vocals bypass the desk, running directly through amplifiers to create a sense of a raw, untreated voice. Conceptually, ’Sibling Lovers’ follows ‘Heartworm’ as an exploration of individual sickness as a manifestation of a diseased modern society. For lyricist Wade Black ‘Sibling Lovers’ is introspective and confessional; images of actual physical sicknesses (cancer, colosomy bags, heart worm) are used to make sense a malignant world of slaughterhouses, incest and alcoholism. Having built a reputation for ferocious live shows and violent performances, Kollaps have steadily drawn reckless crowds around Australia, alongside some of the best local and intentional underground performers [All Seeing Hand (NZ), Armour Group, Military Position, Mensch, Complete, DIM, Elisabeth Dixon, Primitive Calculators]
