Atrax Morgue has been one of the very few names to inherit the sound and annihilating effect of the power electronics school of the early 1980s. He remains faithful to visceral (anti)sounds, no structural enrichment, no attempt to improve: the skeleton of nothing, the absolute point of no return, the representation of non-being, the apology of learning, the most total desert. Overcome comes out for the first time on vinyl by Slaughter Productions in 1999. A raw album that reflects the most total cancellation not only in theoretical purposes, but is also a global clean slate in repeated, obsessive, distorted, monolithic sounds; Atrax Morgue's music curves in on itself, becoming non-sound and denying any possibility of its own existence. Disturbing and minimal, the album flows with total resignation for all 7 tracks, without granting minimum penalty discounts to those who approach it.
Mastered in 2020 by Andrea Marutti, the record has been pressed on 140 gr virgin black vinyl with inside-out printing gatefold sleeve in just 199 copies. Unquestionably one of the most important Atrax Morgue reissues ever! Grab it fast before it disappears.
Includes unlimited streaming of Overcome
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
