THE BEAST

We’re excited to announce our allegiance with American one-man harsh/post-industrial deconstructor  8 HOUR ANIMAL , as we prepare the release of the act’s bludgeoning new full-length LP  “Resigner” , slated for release on LP/MC/digital formats on  August 6 2021  worldwide via Sentient Ruin.

To coincide with the album’s announcement, respected underground punk/alternative/experimental publication  NO ECHO.net  has revealed the opening track  “Almost Free”  calling the track  “nightmare fuel” , with marked  “Wax Trax meets Earache Records-like vibes”.  They further elaborated that  “the sound of 8 Hour Animal is a jarring one. A one-man operation whose stylistic approach invites everything from industrial to black metal to power electronics to, well, a host of other harsh points between.”.  You can read their feature and check out the track  HERE .

The sound of dissolving reality, shattered nerves and unraveling hope,  "Resigner"  is a nerve-wrecking full length offering of vitriolic post-industrial annihilation that both celebrates and re-imagines the imperious deconstructionism and experimentalism of glorious acts like  Controlled Bleeding ,  :Wumpscut: ,  Wolf Eyes ,  Godflesh ,  Skinny Puppy ,  Skullflower ,  Ministry ,  Brighter Death Now ,  Incapacitants ,  Coil  and beyond. Through a masterful transfiguration of disorienting atmospherics, oppressive soundscaping and raw intensity, on  "Resigner"  8 Hour Animal blurs beat-driven electronic industrial, scorching power electronics, raw punk and black metal, blackened metallic drone, dark ambient, and pure noise into an hallucinogenic and caustic forty-plus minute mechanized nightmare of pure post-industrial chaos and oblivion.
