BloodLust!
is pleased to announce the release of the new Bereft CD, "Your Messiah
Will Fail," a full-length recording, which at long last, follows the
private series 7-inch, "Tough Man" b/w "Religious Leaders" [B!066,
November 2006]. The sound on this new album takes a far more
confrontational approach, compared to the single, which had a darker,
more death-industrial feel to it. "Your Messiah Will Fail" is certainly
one of the most straightforward power-electronics recordings that
BloodLust! has released in quite some time, and it falls somewhere
alongside the high-fidelity assault of the recent Twodeadsluts
Onegoodfuck 7-inch and the classic P.E. approach of Slogun -- all the
while maintaining its own personality and style. Now expanded to a
venomous two-piece group, as Andrew Grant [AKA The Vomit Arsonist] has
joined Peter Lee [also the head honcho of the Force of Nature label]
since the aforementioned single was released, the sound on this disc
thoroughly defines what power-electronics means -- accosting the
listener with a combination of harsh-yet-nuanced electronic sounds and
potent vocals that feature prominently in the mix. Have no doubts, this
is a deliberate, carefully conceived and expertly executed album.
Something unusual for BloodLust! -- but certainly not exclusive to the
label, based upon the anti-war stance of the upcoming Kriminaaliset
Metsänhaltijat "Koskemattomuus" CD -- is the political nature of this
release. These songs were written prior to the last presidential
election in the United States of America, and it provided Bereft
main-man Peter Lee an opportunity to vent about, how in his opinion,
the country was going in the wrong direction. The lyrical content of
"Your Messiah Will Fail" was directed at then-Presidential candidate
Barack Obama, and the exceedingly "star" or "godlike" status placed
upon him by the public, and how in Lee's opinion, no man or woman
should ever have such exceedingly high standing in the political world.
Lee makes a vehement cry against the current two-party political
system, and the ever-changing system of support that offers too many
politicians the ability to often never have to take responsibility for
their actions. These are professionally duplicated CDs, with single
panel, double-sided inserts featuring color artwork; in jewel boxes
with shrinkwrap.
