DE BABALON, CHRISTOPH — Scylla & Charybdis
More Info
"In light of his hugely acclaimed and recently reissued classic 'If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It', CDBs monstrous 'Scylla & Charybdis' [2008] plate creeps back out of whatever hole it slid down for a 10 year anniversary reissue on his Hamburg-based CFET label.
Scylla & Charybdis is a first rate example of breakcore at its mutant and gothic best, executed by one of the sounds definitive operators. In two 12 minute parts - De Babalon unfurls scenarios traversing from darkly cinematic, atonal strings and looming bass to lurching hybrids of Alexandra von Bolzns doom metal vocals with distended speedcore rhythms and harpy chorales in Scylla, while the B-sides Charybdis tests out a more mercurial, fluid blend of rolling 180bpm jungle breaks and uncannily naif vocal from Panacea-collaborator, Hanayo."
