Argali Records Netlabel

The Jesus Fish Experience returns with his second release for Argali Records: “Nihilist Machine”. A highly caustic, experimental, and volatile cocktail of equal parts industrial, post-metal, doom, and noise-rock, here is the continuing saga of what might eventually termed as ‘anti-futurism’. Why set your eyes on the future, when the present is rapidly collapsing beneath your feet? An intense focus is presented to the listener: the juxtaposition of the relationship between mass media over-saturation and societal decay (both on macro and micro levels).

“Imagine a thunderstorm over the mountains near the sea, a stream of piano sounds flowing into the wilderness of nature from a house on the mountain slope, a lonely soul expressing the amazement caused by the mighty forces of Nature.

The Piano Concerto, by Buben and Nasta Labada, is a combination of the old piano improvisation along with industrial sounds, noises, and elements of field recordings. Altogether, they create a volumetric picture surrounding you and taking you away to a different world where your mind opens and senses sharpen.

Discover the beauty and float away for a while!”

Instantly evokes a feeling of melancholic grandeur and nostalgia. Great for relaxing and/or contemplative activities, yet it retains an ever-evolving and intricate melodic structure throughout.

Industrialized dubstep: simultaneously menacing and foreboding. A distinct air of apocalypse surrounds the proceedings. Cryptic and hostile proclamations amongst desperate warnings. At points, distinctly dark ambient in the transmission echoes.

“…and God have mercy…upon your lost children…”
“…who ravage this planet in search of you…”
“…Est deus in nobis…”

Argali Records is proud to present the album “Songs Of Protest, War, & Hate” by The Jesus Fish Experience. While previously appearing as one half of “The Nihilist Fish Engine Phenomenon” in the label’s debut release, this album focuses completely on the unique industrial post-rock dirges of The Jesus Fish Experience. Aided at certain points by Ether Drift, Rusted Spheres, and Terra Engine, the overall sound and experience is that of Interesting Specimen’s continued exploration fo claustraphobic soundscapes, equally inspired by early post-rock, industrial, and krautrock pioneers. The album is a mirror, but it does not reflect the image of any one individual or group. Instead, it is held up against the entire world: a reflection of the societies we (almost invariably) find ourselves in. This music is not easy listening, whimsical, or optimistic. Nevertheless, it radiates instead a sense of the cynical framework of ‘truth’, hiding beneath the endless facade of manufactured emotions and cheap sensations which comprise our modern sense of reality.

As explained by Interesting Specimen (the man behind “The Jesus Fish Experience”): “This album in itself is meant to be an exploration of what our society now in the Post 9-11 Paranoia Digital Techno-Boom has manufactured, produced, conditioned, condoned, feared, and coveted through eight tracks of monolithic post rock dirges aided by driving sledgehammer pummels of borderline tribal digital percussion,while guitars drone or shriek walls of shimmering,ghostly harmonics or roar with rage and chaotic fury.

All of this melds with electronic ambience, otherworldly samples, hypnotic loops, drone and tone clusters to envelop the listener into a reflection of our modern world,and what we as human beings have become in this day and age, regardless of our social, religious, political, cultural, national background or morals.”

Argali Records is proud to welcome JMMIII to the family. JMMIII is the experimental ambient project of Jon7, head of the influential Timetheory netlabel. “Stranger Than Fact” exhibits two long-form mutations and manipulations of the “Remixable Stranger” tracks into vast industrial dark ambient soundscapes. The stated intention of this project is relatively simple: to create music without the need of set parameters, limitations, expectations, and justifications. In short, this is known as the principle of ‘initialism’.

A conflicted sense of simultaneous wonder and unease can be associated with these aural landscapes, evoking feelings of comfort and alienation. Yes, this is an album of unsettling dualities, swiftly amorphous textures, sudden shifts of temperament and technique. While shimmering drones constitute the backbone of the two tracks, they are augmented with fragmented synth melodies, stuttering frequencies, foreboding bass backgrounds, and wordless technoid languages. In addition to the often rapid evolution of the music, there is also a very strong futurist influence in this work as well, as if the almost incomprehensible echoes of the future of fifty to one hundred years from now filtered down into the present into a highly concentrated auditory form.

The truth is, of course, stranger than fact.
