MINIMUM SENTENCE – AGES OF MAN – MC [PRE ORDER:EARLY FEBRUARY]

Beschreibung

Named after the stages of human existence in ancient Greek mythology, “Ages of Man” takes listeners on a conceptual journey through the history of humanity. The album’s narrative defies traditional chronology, unfolding in a nonlinear sequence where the lines between fact and fiction blur; moments both monumental and seemingly insignificant carry equal weight; recent events strike the same chord as occurrences from tens of millions of years ago. Some tracks encapsulate fleeting moments, while others span epochs of evolution. This is not a scientific chronicle by any stretch of the imagination. Instead, it’s a diverse collection of subtle hints and elusive clues, inviting listeners to dig deeper, fill in the gaps, or even craft their own historical timeline that ties all six songs together.

Side A:

A1. Domestication of Violence. Dedicated to extinction of Neanderthals

A2. 44 Million Years of Grief. Dedicated to our ancestors who developed capacity to grieve 44 million years ago

B3. Silk Road. Dedicated to the first trade of gunpowder along the infamous Silk Road route

“Ages Of Man” is a debut full-length by Minimum Sentence, UK-based industrial electronics artist. Lurking somewhere between death industrial, power electronics and experimental noise, his approach is characterized by intricate compositions, dense analog textures and psychedelic synth-led industrial soundscapes, occasionally layered with spoken vocals.
