ZHARK INTERNATIONAL

Bong Ra – ‘Vitus Blister’ (Zhark 12018). Enter once more the decaying and propulsive world of Zhark, where gothic strings rise from the crypts and hang lingering in the haunting fog as driving metal shards of nails rain on the entoughened listener. Shrill and carefully sound staged breaks tumble and crash at rapid pace. The tracks progress nicely, stopping and starting to keep the tension high, dynamics high with a claustrophobic and relentless production and a compressed low fi ethic that enhances the horror nicely. Dangerous and stressful frequencies sometimes fill the space and the beats battle through, at other times a clarity emerges to wake the listener from a vivid dream, before the breaks scatter once more.
