Dysthymia - guardian of emotions (cassette)


I received recently this big parcel from Jim DeJong himself (The Infant Cycle). Inside there was some CD`s, DVD`s and a couple of old school cassettes. I never heard of Dysthymia before and after doing a little research, I discover it`s an American project of `depressing and noisy analogue and industrial works`(whatever that means). There`s six tracks of various dark styles and length (total running time = 60 minutes). You will hear fluctuating analogue synth lines (the surging tide of memory), rhythmic noise mixed with death industrial atmospheres (recurring thoughts best forgotten), echoing dark synth (blotting out the past), minimalist, cold death ambience / ambient noise (hiding in silence from the world), an epic industrial cacophony mixed with noise loops and found sounds (that stone façade of mine), and rumbling, subtle, menacing dark death industrial (untitled 1). An excellent album it should have been released on Swedish label Cold Meat Industry along the side of  Megaptera  and Brighter Death Now, yes it`s that good. More information here:
