Bismuth – Thermobaric Weapons (Digital EP – Dark Mechanism Records)
Genre/Influences: Industrial, death-industrial.
Background/Info: Bismuth is an Italian duo which released 2 productions during 2017. “Thermobaric Weapons” features 2 cuts and is also available on cassette.
Content: Both protagonists take us instantly away into an industrial sound universe carried by drones and featuring multiple noises and an oppressive ambient atmosphere. Zombie-like growls accentuate the disturbing approach of this release.
+ + + : “Thermobaric Weapons” is the kind of release that will appeal for lovers of death-industrial music. It’s a promising work for the way both tracks have been progressively built up reaching a kind of sonic climax accentuated by the vocals.
– – – : Like any other ‘extreme’ sonic experiment, Bismuth is the kind of music that will only appeal for a very restricted number of fans.
Conclusion: Every single music genre has its ‘pioneers’ and main ambassadors, but also promising formations active in the back of the great names. Bismuth is one of them and clearly reveal an interesting potential so you better keep this name in mind.
Best songs: “Thermobaric Weapons Part 1”.
Rate: (7).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
