Lustmord, anyone?

Lately I've become very obsessed with this mans work. I just received "Heresy" in the mail today and I'm just totally floored. Rarely can an artist actually disorient the listener, but Lustmord seems to have it down to a science. I was listening to the second track and it felt almost like that feeling you get when you get smacked in the head really hard, only the effect lasted longer.

Inside the album sleeve it says:
"Heresy is the culmination of work carried out from 1987 to 1989 and utilizes subterranean location recordings originated within crypts, caverns, mines, deep shelters and catacombs together with material of seismic and volcanic origin. It also takes advantage of psycho-acoustic phenomena and the physical effects of low frequency information". The low frequency mentioned is the frequency that invokes fear inside a person.

If you haven't heard Lustmord, do it. And do it with high quality headphones by Sennheiser and crank it up all the way. Anyone else a fan? Or atleast a fan of the dark ambient genre?

Love his work. I stumbled on it 3 or 4 years ago on a Tool message board. You have good taste.

Yeah, I kinda like that stuff. Haven't heard much Lustmord, but dark ambient in general is pretty interesting.

Wow, exceptional. I'm going to have to add this to my playlist. Thanks for sharing.

Lustmord is amazing.

Check out "Stalker" as well by Lustmord and Robert Rich. Heresy and Stalker are my two favorite albums by him, followed by Metavoid.

Any other dark ambient recommendations?

Brighter Death Now, Coil, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Premature Ejaculation, Nurse With Wound, Sunn O))), Diagnose: Lebensgefahr, and Atrium Carceri are all great.

You might also want to check out Whitehouse and SPK , and bootlegs by Throbbing Gristle as well. Another artist that you might also like is Eduard Artimyev, who was the Soviet era analog of Brian Eno.

Yes. I own several albums by Lustmord. I'm also a fan of Scandanavian dark ambient which tends to go in a more melancholy minimalist direction. Northaunt and Kammarheit are good.

Have you heard the Zoetrope soundtrack?

Haha, awesome name. I wonder where he got it from.
