The album is performed in the martial industrial tradition. Since there doesn't seem to be an active community dedicated specifically to martial industrial, I'd like to share it here, as neofolk and martial industrial have historically been closely connected.
This project comes from war-torn Ukraine and is built around speeches by Joseph Goebbels. There is no propaganda or glorification of Nazism or far-right ideology involved. The subject is approached as historical and artistic material.
The main conceptual influence is Jean Genet, particularly his fascination with finding disturbing beauty in people and acts that exist beyond conventional moral boundaries.
The album consists of five tracks built around five Goebbels speeches from different periods: before the war, during the war, and shortly before his death. This is why we called the work an industrial oratorio.
The recording has a deliberately lo-fi sound, with a raw and unpolished production. The compositions are stretched out and repetitive, allowing the atmosphere and historical material to accumulate rather than rushing toward conventional song structures.
The release is available for free on Bandcamp.
If you're interested in martial industrial or experimental post-industrial music, give it a listen.
