> FEAR NO MORE is a split ep that unites IMMINENT and THOROFON in a
> compelling sonic journey bridging vintage electronic aesthetics and
> sonic industrial environments. drawing inspiration from 1980s electro,
> the release seamlessly blends infectious rhythms and prominent vocals
> with minimal electronics, classic synthesizer melodies, and
> unconventional noise elements. IMMINENT’s contribution transforms boney
> m’s “no more chain gang” song into a mesmerizing tribal hymn, artfully
> interweaving hypnotic vintage synthesizer lines with compelling vocal
> performances.

> in the penumbra of existence, the living stand at the threshold of
> memory, their hearts echoing with unspoken farewells. shakespeare’s
> words, FEAR NO MORE, whisper through the ether, a balm for souls caught
> between realms. spectral fingers reach across the divide, their touch
> both ice and fire, as the bereaved seek communion with the departed.
> yet, in the pursuit of ghostly visitations and transcendent apparitions,
> the true connection eludes capture. it resides not in ectoplasmic
> manifestations or séance-summoned spirits, but in the ineffable bonds
> that defy death’s finality. as twilight deepens into night, acceptance
> blooms like a midnight flower, uniting the living and the dead in the
> timeless tapestry of existence.

> THOROFON is a pioneering german post-industrial and power-electronics
> project founded in 1995 by dan courtman. the project is renowned for its
> uncompromising soundscapes and evocative live performances. drawing on
> themes of societal critique, human conflict, and existentialism,
> THOROFON’s work is both provocative and thought-provoking. their sonic
> palette is a distinctive blend of rhythmic intensity and minimal electro
> with a wall of abrasive noise, creating an intense, conceptually rich
> musical experience often described as ‘krankpop’.
>
> IMMINENT, driven by olivier moreau, has held a groundbreaking position
> at the nexus of formidable technoid industrial music and sophisticated
> electronic compositions since the mid-1990s. moreau’s sonic spectrum is
> characterized by relentless rhythms, electronic noise, and sinister
> atmospheric textures. his work blends post-apocalyptic motifs and
> forceful distorted sequences with raw and hypnotic complexities, for
> which IMMINENT is both renowned and revered.
