With distorted arpeggiated synthesizers and cold metallic drum-machine patterns, William Wiffen from Yorkshire invites you to his sonic warzone. Hoga Nord Rekords proudly presents RED (Rapid Ear Damage), a stripped and harsh take on postpunk, motorik and EBM. With haunting and reverb-drenched synthesizers, Wiffen's new project sometimes resembles acts like Two Lone Swordsmen in their dirtiest moments.RED is not a wholesome and pleasant experience. Heavily modified vocals, used more like an additional instrument, breaks through the distorted, hard, backbeat, contributing to the feeling of being trapped in a mental slit trench or bomb shelter: no light coming in - only sound. Set the controls for the heart of the void.
