Good morning, afternoon, or night everyone. I hope you are all doing as well you can given the current circumstances. It’s been a while since my inaugural Lost Transmissions episode dropped, but I wanted to welcome you back to the fold with some fresh reviews of albums the From Corners Unknown staff has not yet covered. If this is your first encounter with my fledgling solo endeavor, it can be aptly summarized as me, all by my lonesome, reviewing three releases in a succinct five to ten minutes apiece. Actually, I’m pretty sure I already broke this “succinct” rule of mine as I went pretty in-depth with some of the reviews in this episode; regardless, the goal here is to share with you some gems that have been in my constant rotation for several weeks.
In order of discussion for this episode, we have three EPs from the Newark-based cybergrind trio, Quantum Zoology. This is followed by a discussion of Adaptive Emotional Use, the latest LP from the harsh noise/industrial/ambient project Death Kneel (of Tomb Mold kin). Lastly, we have Golden Horde, the second brutish offering from the hardcore-infused death metal quartet, Phalanx.
Below you will find the text of each review featured in this iteration. Included also are links to where you can support each of these artists if their sound strikes your fancy. Thank you so much for tuning in.
