Description

With a long-standing reputation for pushing the limits of noise, Schlemiel—the inimitable project of K.—continues to define the boundaries of Harsh Noise with In Rictus Eternal. Active on The Throat’s sublabel Clear Cut Case since 2016, Schlemiel’s work is a brutal exploration of sound, where every wave of distortion, feedback, and manipulation is meticulously crafted to evoke sheer discomfort and unrelenting negativity.

This release presents two monolithic tracks, each one an extensive journey into the depths of visceral soundscaping. Recorded over several years, between 2019 and 2022, these sessions create a relentless atmosphere of torment and tension—an unforgiving sonic assault where every layer of noise adds to the suffocating weight of the experience. The tracks on In Rictus Eternal are not merely noise; they are reflections of pure, unadulterated agony, with each twist and turn of the sound inviting the listener to dive deeper into a cavern of unresolvable despair.

With this release, Schlemiel proves once again that noise is not just a genre—it is a method of expression, an excavation of the darkest corners of the mind.

Released by Clear Cut Case and exclusively distributed through The Throat, In Rictus Eternal is a must-have for those who seek the most extreme forms of sound art.
