Serving as a suffocatingly immersive and darkly mesmerising mirroring of their hypnotic live presence, London experimental noise duo Warren Schoenbright are back with a new single and video and we’re overjoyed to premiere it.
The opening track of their upcoming LP Sunless – released March 15th via Human Worth – ‘Boiling Vermillion’ see’s Warren Schoenbright slipping into the howling darkness that the record serves as a vessel for. In a fashion that calls to mind the classic descent of Dante and Virgil, within this track the band elegantly slip into a realm of horror both abstract and classical. Just like the aforementioned duo’s journey into the bowels of the underworld and it’s accursed inhabitants, here, Warren Schoenbright submerse themselves in a soundstage and musical realm shaped by inhospitable noise rock, post-organic industrial, and a kind of doom metal perfectly suited for Dante’s fall into the final circle of Hell. However, within this damned and ill-fated world of noise lies a sense of redemption; one albeit fait, but ultimately present. Those with a penchant or interest in acts such as Wren, Full Of Hell, Portrayal Of Guilt, Modern Technology and other artists unblemished by divine light will find plenty to resonate with here.
Highlighting such a sentiment is the video for ‘Boiling Vermillion’. Composed of a myriad of excepts and cuts recoded across recent shows in the UK, the video is a monochromatic, shadowed and callously industrial creation that flawlessly presents the band’s godless industrialism without filter nor compromise. The end result is a musical portal into a world void of light or tenderness that’s astute, obtuse but uncompromisingly authentic.
