Description
The first-ever vinyl reissue of Atrax Morgue’s seminal album “Death-Orgasm Connector”, originally released in 2003 by Slaughter Productions, encapsulates the raw essence of Marco Corbelli’s power electronics, melding harsh noise with industrial undertones and dark synth-electronics, solidifying Atrax Morgue’s place in the experimental music landscape.
From the very first track, I Kill Sex (Again), listeners are thrust into a visceral experience defined by Corbelli’s staticky rasps and eerie sci-fi synth notes. Each subsequent composition unfurls like a chilling soundtrack to existential terrors, culminating in a bleak exploration of themes that echo throughout the album. With ten tracks playing as a cohesive narrative, “Death-Orgasm Connector” captures a uniquely haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the final note. Corbelli’s compositions are characterized by their sparse arrangements and an evocative exploration of singular ideas, sometimes revisited until their essence is fully extracted. The standout title track, Death-Orgasm Connector, showcases Corbelli’s vocal prowess and synthesis reaching intense climaxes, punctuated by a jarring bass drum that cuts through the sonic murk. Tracks like A Nasty Trick employ high-pitched drones, overlaid with Corbelli’s unsettling laughter, painting a picture that is as disturbing as it is compelling—a juxtaposition of humor and horror. His vocal stylings range from articulate language to feral, almost animalistic expressions, immersing listeners in a chaotic soundscape reminiscent of a nightmare. The harsh noise is not merely an aesthetic choice but a vehicle for thematic exploration—sexuality, violence, and the grotesque intersections they inhabit.
This vinyl reissue of “Death-Orgasm Connector” in 199 copies serves as a vital restoration, allowing both new listeners and longtime fans to appreciate Corbelli’s genius in a format that enhances the album’s immersive qualities. The meticulously crafted soundscapes, originally recorded at SweetSlaughter, have never felt more alive, even in their desolation. Atrax Morgue stands as a pioneer of power electronics, and Marco Corbelli’s indelible influence is felt throughout the genre. As the vinyl spins, the haunting echoes of “Death-Orgasm Connector” will draw you into its dark world. This reissue reminds us of the profound effectiveness of Corbelli’s art—a raw, uncomfortable reflection of the human psyche, delivered through the lens of noise. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this essential piece of industrial history on vinyl, where every crack and imperfection will resonate deeper than ever before!
