Zoloft Evra - Hypoxyphilia
The lead singer from INXS Michael Hutchence, the legendary master of movie kung-fu David Carradine (Kill Bill, Bruce Lee movies etc) and this latest cassette release from black-industrial creators Zoloft Evra have in common? Well... Michael and David died from Hypoxyphilia, and this release has been called hypoxyphilia. But what is Hypoxyphilia, let´s go and ask an expect/doctor on the matter... So here goes :
´Accidental strangulation by ligature that occurs in an attempt to induce mild cerebral hypoxia during sexual activity for the purpose of enhancing orgasmic pleasure´
A nasty theme to work on for sure, bound to give you pleasure but with a dangerous risk attached to it. Same goes for the release and sound itself. Angelic but harsh multilayered ambiance trapped inside a huge cathedral. Harsh reverbed drones, rich post-rock/black-metal-ish sound aesthetic guitar textures, flesh-scraping moods, ritualistic and escapist undercurrents. A true gem for any isolationist addict. Any old-school CMI fan should check it out, think MZ.412, Archon Satani and early Ordo Equilibrio.
As I mentioned earlier, we are dealing with a cassette release. Released on the always excellent Spanish label Marbre Negre. Hand-numbered to 100 copies. It works as a compilation of sorts, compiling unreleased material and tracks from promo compilations.
Guess that I am a minor sexual pervert, I 100% enjoyed this release from the beginning to the end. Feeling very good in my entire body, relaxed and soothed. What do you think, give it a try... I´ll recommend this Hypoxphilia treat anytime ;)
