Uranium

Corrosion of Existence

Sentient Ruin Laboratories

***American nuclear black industrial weapon Uranium returns to embody industrial music’s most terrifying triumph. In its life-entombing thirty six minutes “Corrosion of Existence” takes the mysterious one man band’s concept of nuclear devastation to its most harrowing and inevitable conclusions, unfolding five new monstrous tracks of plutonium-fueled auditory terror that will dominate tyrannical above and beyond anything that the most lawless frontier of extreme industrial has ever fathomed or imagined. An immense industrial and blackened noise construct inspired by acts like Godflesh, Swans, Brighter Death Now, Gnaw Their Tongues, and Merzbow levitates out of a world-ending idealization, colliding with excoriations of techno and breakcore as well as with black/death metal influences from bands like Teitanblood, Portal and Irkallian Oracle into an unimaginable cauldron of destruction. Like an unstoppable chain reaction that has evaded any containment, “Corrosion of Existence” exponentially escalates the destructive yield of its black/death metal-inspired 2023 predecessor album “Pure Nuclear Death”, transmuting its never-before-heard sonic assault into Uranium’s most oppressive and inescapable conquest. A gigantic gaping void is blown out into the architecture of existence, revealing a massive radioactive wound seared with layer upon layer upon layer of caustic sequences and smoldering synth tapestries. A downpour of robotic samples pounds like radioactive rain falling from a nuclear maelstrom, engulfing the biosphere and sending a gigantic swath of fallout to travel horizonless, burying everything in a suffocating sarcophagus of molten corium and melted concrete. Torrents of gnarled, sampled guitars and bass compound the destruction, while the album's tectonic drum...

Pure Nuclear Death

Sentient Ruin Laboratories

***American one-man nuclear black industrial weapon Uranium returns, transmuted into its most astonishing and terrifying form yet. A statement of unseen magnitude and scope, the second full length album Pure Nuclear Death sees the enigmatic East Coast visionary harness a realm of terror and death-torn sonic immensity rarely, if ever, seen before in this plane of reality. Clear from the title alone, Pure Nuclear Death embodies the triumph, definition and consecration of a vision and concept which in the span of a just a couple of years and releases so far has already become classic and by all standards and measures, simply unrivaled. Awe-inducing, imposing and inexorably devastating, Pure Nuclear Death comprises thirty six minutes, split up into five tracks, of omnipotent, death-heaving black industrial immensity designed to devour the listener and deliver to them a world-ending payload of absolute death. The legacy of bludgeoning, visionary post-industrial acts like Godflesh and early (Cop, Filth-era) SWANS transposed into total oblivion and coerced into a monstrous, lightless abyss of tectonic and crushing blackened electronics. An antihuman concept on nuclear energy and its most godly and terrifying traits incarnated in a sound which is its perfectly executed and envisioned embodiment. An indissoluble fusion reaction between a concept extrapolated from science, ethical literature and philosophy to convey realities of daunting scientific an technological darkness, and a god-like sound assembled from a critical mass of cataclysmic power electronics, apocalyptic industrial and black metal chained together into an otherworldly sonic weapon of absolute atomic death.

An Exacting Punishment

Sentient Ruin Laboratories

***After the glorious Wormboiler cassette tape compilation obliterated human ears in 2021, American one-man black industrial weapon Uranium finally emerges from the depths of oblivion with its debut full-length album An Exacting Punishment, a five-track, forty-minute radioactive nightmare of complete sonic ruin channelling the darkness of black metal with the scathing immensity of defining post-industrial acts like Brighter Death Now, Godflesh, Wolf Eyes, Swans, MZ. 412, Controlled Bleeding, and Genocide Organ. As the band's name aptly hints at, Uranium was conceived as an aural vessel to explore the outer limits and the most irreversible states of complete human disintegration, and the incineration of its most defining and triumphant achievements; namely society, progress, technology, and civilization, with nuclear power being the conduit and ultimate engine of the greatest and most horrific forms of total annihilation mankind could ever face. Auditory terror both permeates and defines Uranium's music, with bludgeoning and majestic post-industrial soundscapes pulsing inside a lightless void lit only by drifting embers and falling ash, while immense infernal atmospherics wrap their deathly spires around the listener, crushing them into a distorted auditory abyss. Power electronics, industrial noise and black metal have rarely before been seen chained together and weaponized into such a mortal design. An authentic weapon of mass annihilation engineered to face human life with absolute death. A death-scarred reality that emerges from the utter bleakness and ruination of Uranium's apocalyptic design, as the listener is cast at the center of a caustic nuclear nightmare where flesh boils and...
