Album Review: Delta Killing Season by AbsenceInsolution
Released in 2011 under Pigdurt Productions, Delta Killing Season is a wild ride through the darker corners of electronic music. AbsenceInsolution, hailing from the US, delivers an intense blend of Power Electronics, Noise, Abstract, and Experimental sounds that feel like they were born out of frustration and fury—but also curiosity. This isn’t your typical "background noise" album; it demands attention, and if you’re not careful, it might just haunt your dreams.
One track that sticks with me is "The Determination Of Godless Men." It opens with this abrasive wall of sound—like static on steroids—but somehow pulls you in. The layers are dense, almost suffocating, but there’s a strange sense of purpose behind the chaos. You can hear these faint, distorted whispers fighting to break through the noise, as if the song itself has something urgent to say. By the time it fades into silence, you're left wondering what exactly you just witnessed. Was it protest? A cry for help? Or pure sonic rebellion? Either way, it’s unforgettable.
Another standout is "Frustrate.Kill.Paranoid.." If the title doesn’t clue you in, this one’s a raw, unfiltered assault on the senses. The track builds slowly at first, teasing you with eerie tones before exploding into full-blown auditory mayhem. There’s a moment around the halfway mark where everything drops out except for this mechanical, heartbeat-like pulse—it’s unsettling but weirdly hypnotic. It feels like paranoia made audible, like the music knows you're listening too closely and wants to mess with your head. Honestly, it works.
What sets Delta Killing Season apart isn’t just its technical skill (though there’s plenty of that). It’s how it taps into primal emotions—anger, fear, confusion—and forces you to sit with them. Listening to this album feels less like entertainment and more like therapy for people who don’t trust therapists.
If you’re into experimental music or just want something that challenges your idea of what “music” even is, give this a shot. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand.
Final thought? I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon Musk tried to launch this album into space someday. It’s that otherworldly—and maybe a little dangerous.
