FIRST FLESH

Zombie Rave

([ no label ]) LP $16.50

When Mater Suspiria Vision’s mysterious Zombie Rave mixes started appearing on YouTube a few years ago (all bearing the same cryptic message: “ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ /// ℑ is the sign for fictive - ℜ is the sign for real /// Do not believe in everything you see - the owls are not what they seem”), fandom was instant. With a druggy, chopped and screwed editing style and a focus on cult and European horror films, the vids slow down ’90s rave music, enhance the beats and coat them with ominous melodies. The results are dark and dreamlike mixes that move your body as if under water. Four tracks: “Moonlight Shadow,” “In My No Religion,” “House Of The Rising Sun” and “Posse.”
