Alberich / Final
A Second is a Year
Cassette

Initially begun years ago in response to Justin Broadrick's earliest project predating GODFLESH from 1983 - in particular the two final 7"s from cult labels Fever Pitch Music and Manifold were an early influence for ALBERICH. Slow motion churning synths like a crack in the earth with sulfur springs steaming from the primordial broken desert floor. Part split / collaboration / remix A Second is a Year shows ALBERICH at his most restrained assembling tense emanations crushed by metal on metal shifting, creaking and pressing. The utterances of vocals similar to that of a lost soul or last rights supported by the dynamic and maximum / minimal emotional hydraulics of FINAL. High pressure keyboards, gale winds and sandy ruins effects textures. Two generations of heavy electronics see eye to eye for a second before the entanglement of space and time gasps a last meaningless breath
