First: France’s Black Zone Myth Chant

It should not come as a surprise when the music that appeals to the worried thinkers and finger-tapping warriors of our generation should always sit somewhere in singularity: a place for the undiscovered and a shelter for the Grand Unified Theory. Black holes suck even the light in and leave our time-space conception of the world around us dumbfounded at what goes on. We are just as in denial as the next guy in this cosmic queue of mystery and we are all making attempts to get closer, or at least simulate a close neighborhood.

The Afro-centric and stupefacient work of Black Zone Myth Chant’s “He Evil” too, is a sphere of dark energy (as self-contradictory as it resonates). We hear electrons weaving into an unstable chamber of noise with an infra-low-pitched voice narrating a tale in a vague intergalactic language. It’s nightmarish but hi-fi like watching Begotten in an MIT camp.

“He Evil” is off Black Zone Myth Chant’s album Mane Thecel Phares released in 2015 via the French label Gravats. You can own this hypnotic voyage on Boomkat.
