Bleep

Death In Vegas’s first album in almost a decade since 2016’s Transmission is grittier and harsher than ever before. On Death Mask, Richard Fearless navigates loss through influences as far afield as Ramleh, Loop, Pan Sonic and Mika Vainio's Ø as well as Jamal Moss, the Hieroglyphic Being, all synthesised into an amalgamation of sweltering, noise laced techno stomps, and growing, glowing, glassy ambience that aligns closer to the atmosphere of Sunn O))) meets Underground Resistance at their most scorching. . ‘Hazel’ follows a constant crashing of industrial waves, like wobbling sheet metal pounded by nailgun kickdrums, while ‘Your Love’ is a slowly unfolding, hypnagogic piece of acid tinged techno, slivers of whispers decorating the edges.
