Bleak Prospects

by PURGIST

supported by

Giuseppe Luraghi Sharp. Such a lonely path. It reminds me of distant emotions, desolate places lost in time. A very personal journey. Highly recommended Favorite track: Pieces Won't Fall Back in Place.

PURGIST Kielce, Poland

Overcast Electronics. Damaged Eros, est. 1986
PURGIST is an outlet for focused exploration of urban field recordings, digital artifacts, aural atmospherics, and disjointed noise dynamics. The vivid, cinematic, post-industrial electronic music has a conceptual background based on a reflection upon personal vices and self-abusive obsessions.
Hopefully, it inspires you to have a look in the mirror. ... more

"Glacial Lake" (NRR87)
by Kjostad

supported by 21 fans who also own “Bleak Prospects”

A combination of field recordings and harsh noise that focuses our attention on nature's absolute power and indifference to the individual, making what we'd ordinarily see as serene seem more like a monumental death machine. Which, in fact, it more or less is. Deferent Golgi

"Whatever Exists In Creation Without My Knowledge Exists Without My Consent" (NRR139)
by God Is War

supported by 19 fans who also own “Bleak Prospects”

Seven coldly inhuman, glitching, glacially-paced soundscapes. It's like the warning/mating calls of a ghostly extraplanar ogre crawling on all fours through solid matter, eating light and exuding contempt. Ben Harris
