MALKUTH - Hathir Sakta

"Simply put, Malkuth are a Leviathan; rising from the West, to lay waste to the Eastern lands_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùfierce and spiteful, having been awakened from centuries of contemplative slumber. In comparison to their two full-lengths on Hospital Productions, Hathir Sakta (and its accompanying disc on Prison Tatt Records, Tamahprabha, the set originally intended as one double LP) finds Malkuth in relative or even greater form, this material having been simmered to perfection, its ferocity seasoned to epic proportion_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùand as always, guitar-guitar-drums_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùno bass to tether it, define" it or in any way hem it in. Szwed and Muranos guitars tentacle one another_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùdozens of possessing riffs, split in all the right places by ice shards of trebly melody_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùangular, baroque and dissonant, as if Morton Feldman were somehow meeting black metal halfway; his studied, contemplative maturity juiced up on a gift-cask of USBM-tinged Kaddish wine and energy drinks, and Mr. Muranos experimental projects (Decimus, K-Salvatore, Key of Shame et al.), having evolved similarly during the interval, inform these Malkuth tracks in the most apropos and satisfying of ways. Matt Heyners roiling drum kit ties it all up in twine, complementing Muranos growl with snare hits and tom workouts like small-arms fire.\r\n_Ç

\r\nMalkuth are of a rare breed within the pantheon of black metal, in that their material is both energizing (similar to the way of all bands who chose to ride the Darkthrone / Abruptum artery from the primordial Scandinavian explosion) and meditative / brooding, offering "head" and "hard" in equivalent doses. After spending many hours of deep listening to their material, as well as hosting them on my WFMU radio program during the bridge between their Hospital releases and these newer ones, I can say with surety that this LP and its companion are indeed Malkuths finest hour, such that "well worth the wait" becomes a descriptive understatement.\r\n_Ç \r\nHathir Sakta requires your immersion, for the listeners full envelopment to be achieved; that said, youll undoubtedly pick up on the incredible energy of these recordings even if only half-listening, and when youre ready, the awe-inspiring, novelistic quality of Hathir Sakta will reveal itself fully and enrapture the listener in its cavernous terror and ecstasy." - Wm. M. Berger, host, WFMUs My Castle of Quiet; proprietor, Prison Tatt Records. 200 copies pressed.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
