Breaking the boundaries of post-punk, this is a monumental piece of music that explodes with repetitive rhythms and an experimental spirit, with an extremely stoic sound.
This ambitious work, which thoroughly embraces an avant-garde approach and completely overturns the traditional concept of rock, presents a genre-defying soundscape constructed around a repetitive bass line, treating guitars as noise.
The sudden appearance of metallic percussion in the silence signals the beginning of a tense piece. The bassist's relentlessly repetitive phrases dominate most of the song, while the drums cut through the space with intermittent noise and tom-tom rolls. The sound image is a hard, dry, and alien space, which made a huge impact on the music scene at the time. The vocalist's voice completely abandons melody, instead stringing together words like an incantation, instilling a unique, cold emotion into the song. This experimental piece, with its thorough aesthetic of repetition and the occasional appearance of strange sound effects, keeps the listener in a state of tension until the very end.
