Blockdata :: Vacuum Decay EP (Ohm Resistance)

Vacuum Decay is an avalanche of infested electronic fury, a post-industrial smorgasbord lit by the artists focus on saturated percussion that doesn’t let up for even a moment.

Hyperactive drums and scorched rhythms take hold

High voltage breakcore and bass are rolled up into one massive electronic slurry as Scotland’s Gav Histop continues to rattle the senses in this heavy 4-track onslaught of mangled soundscraping—inspired by the theoretical world-ending event known as Vacuum Decay. Let’s just say Blockdata nails it with mutated apocalyptic breaks running us over at 1000s of miles per hour—the hyperactive drums and scorched rhythms are set apart by robust sound design that the artist notes started off as “small experiments.” The result on Vacuum Decay is much more than mere small experiments—it’s an avalanche of infested electronic fury, a post-industrial smorgasbord lit by the artists focus on saturated percussion that doesn’t let up for even a moment—it seems as though Blockdata has taken this theoretical event quite seriously as this “madman is headed straight for the black hole.”

Vacuum Decay is available on Ohm Resistance. [Bandcamp]
