Climax Denial's latest album, Have You Died, is a visceral and unsettling exploration of the darker side of industrial noise. The album's eight tracks are a relentless assault on the senses, with harsh, abrasive textures and disorienting rhythms that push the listener to the edge of their comfort zone.
From the opening track, "Suffering," with its distorted vocal samples and pounding beats, to the closing track, "The End," which builds to a chaotic crescendo of feedback and distortion, Have You Died is an intense and challenging listen. The album's soundscapes are bleak and oppressive, evoking a sense of claustrophobia and despair.
Despite its confrontational nature, however, there is a certain beauty to be found in Climax Denial's music. The layers of noise and distortion are carefully crafted, and there is a sense of purpose and intention behind every sonic element. The album rewards repeated listens, as new details and textures emerge with each play.
