LOKA “Kuningas Raivolle” CD-DIGISLEEVE

SONIC RITES RECORDS (SRR-041), DISTRIBUTED BY IRON CORPSE

Cassette/CD/Digital release date: 29. April 2024

The soundtrack of neverending, oppressive nightmares of bodily horrors. Carnal transformations, out of body experiences, images of insanity and alienation from reality. LOKA utilizes doom, sludge and harsh drone machines to create a massive, almost dronelike sludge that is laced with pulsing machine beat. With the members having a long history in all things heavy, namely UNKIND (Relapse Records) and RADIEN (Svart Records) the results are not surprizing.

”Prepare for music that’s humongously heavy and emotionally scarring, brutally primitive and mentally mutilating. There’s a pulse in the music, like a heart that chooses when to beat, along with machines operating as torture devices and vocals that are just fucking searing in their raw, unhinged wretchedness. Before the end, the experience becomes more violent, the mechanized entities more frantic in their ruinous work.”
– NO CLEAN SINGING

“Reviewing this music is difficult. The album’s merits are undeniable, but the listening experience is so cruel that it will make you nauseous. Respectable, but too excruciating for anyone in their right mind.”
