Signal Rex announces May 1st as the international release date for Brakel's highly anticipated debut album, Wranger Wanen, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
The first full-length recording of Belgium's Brakel, Wranger Wanen comprises nine songs across a time-evaporating / stretching 27 minutes. Signposts among raw black metal's elite exist here - be it Black Cilice, Candelabrum, Múspellzheimr, or those orbiting the Signal Rex-endorsed Clandestine Circle of Aldebaran - but beneath the alternately shocking / shimmering soundfield bubble torched debris of power electronics. Hateful and ghoulish in equal measure but utterly alien in effect, the ghostly surge of in-the-red decibels across Wranger Wanen get wrangled into obscene shapes; with all those indeterminate pulses underneath, sometimes Brakel's sound approaches the mechanistic...if the Industrial Revolution was visualized in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, such is the expressionist horror on display.
No identities, no fun, no past, no future: Brakel assault the unsuspecting with Wranger Wanen.
