GOTT – Mutatio

Mattoni Pazzi Studios is a fresh and young new label out of Switzerland that makes more cool moves here with a second 12″. It is a split that opens up with Fields Of The Nephilim and ‘The Watchman’ (GOTT Mutatio), a track with progressive guitar licks ringing out over a twisted metal bassline. The crashing drums are cacophonous and demand you march along to what sounds like Depeche Mode on a comedown. On the flip, Sonic Violence steps up with ‘Malice’ (GOTT Mutatio) which is a dark, stomping bit of tech that draws on elements of EBM and industrial to make for a gothic and strobe-lit late-night monster. It’s physical body music with a soot-black soul. Serious stuff.
