Dead World - Thanatos descends (1996)

Dead World: part quatre.

This is the last part of our Dead World-saga, and indeed the best was saved for last. The album is laid out with a similar pattern that was present on Collusion: a song first, then a noisy interlude, song, interlude.

The interludes, titled Thanatos I-Thanatos IV, are reminiscent of Canady's work with Deathpile: industrial noise and feedback manipulations in their purest form.

Their industrial metal counterparts are like pneumatic drills: heavy and harsh, pummeling away at your senses. When you take the earlier Dead World material, add some harshness and grime, blend in some noisy interludes and effects, you get Thanatos descends, and it's crushing. Believe it or not, I love every second of it.

Too sad Jonathan Canady decided to bury the band after this release. The album is a worthy goodbye, and Deathpile is in a sense the successor and conclusion to Dead World. I'm just sad I didn't get to see where he would've taken the project from here.

Enjoy!
