Second of two parts of the EXTENDED DIGITAL EDITION of "SONIC DEGENERACY" - finally revealing the complete, gargantuan, unfiltered vision of elitist old school lo-fi insanity that Noise Maniakk kept building slowly and patiently since 2015, with the help of many young talents from the sicilian underground metal scene. All of ROTGOD's releases since the first handful of digital singles have been leading up to this massive, undigestible behemoth of a double album.
So many more tracks compared to the CD edition from 2023, coming together like small pieces of a gigantic puzzle to form a schizophrenic, noisy, demented opus that takes all the rawest, craziest, most unhinged elements of late-80's proto-extreme metal (ranging from micro-bursts of spastic hardcore fury to longer intricate riff mazes and unsettling noise/industrial dirges) and turns them up to eleven in a lengthy, boundless, unpredictable, yet kind of artful and cathartic sonic journey, aiming to desecrate any transcendental value and any form of dogmatic morality, not letting anyone off the hook from anti-secular reactionary forces to prudish self-proclaimed modern champions of social justice, from alt-right neofascists and conservatives to smug post-ironic hipsters and condescending wokescolds, from rich boomer politicians to whiny self-deprecating zoomers, from neo-pagan and christian traditionalists to silly new age hippies - mocking and lashing at them all through a cruel, ruthless, borderline sociopathic, yet almost playful take on perverse anti-musical nihilism.
LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Vol. II - "Psychotic crescendo" is divided in four chapters:
Tracks 1-7: "My ears are so offended"
Tracks 8-16: "Descent into madness"
Tracks 17-22: "Succumb to depravity"
Tracks 23-25: "Acceptance of the intolerable"
