Altered Zones

Blackout Beach's Carey Mercer describes his forthcoming LP, Fuck Death as a focus in abandonment-- a deserter's album.  On "Be Forewarned, The Night Has Come," we find Mercer floating aimlessly in a hallow of sound. Against this tranquil backdrop of pulsating synth, Mercer's maddening bellow sucks us into the lonely, drifting vessel he seems to be captaining. It's only until scrapes of dissonant guitar morph into a radiant rhythm that he seems to gain traction in this unfamiliar expanse, devoid of road signs.  --Mark Craig, Altered Zones
