From the fertile fauna of the Swedish scene comes Vargdöd, the official
pairing of Jonas Rönnberg and Anders Karlsson, better known as Varg and
Celldöd. Across six long form tracks the duo exercise their keen
instinct for expansive, gloomy atmospherics and techno subtleties with a
spirit that naturally aligns with the overcast outlook of Opal Tapes.
This outing is not the first time the two have been seen together. The
ever-prolific Rönnberg adopted his Black Leather Harness alias to appear
alongside Celldöd on Krig, the first cassette release on Karlsson’s own
Brutal Disciplin label. From those early manoeuvres in 2014 Karlsson
has quickly established himself as a proponent of uncompromising,
unconventional techno on labels such as Suction Records and Kess Kill.
Rönnberg meanwhile has continued to be a potent force both with his solo
and collaborative work and at the helm of Northern Electronics, most
recently releasing the third installment in his Nordic Flora series.
On Brutal Discipline, the tones and textures shift but the mood remains
consistently foreboding. The mechanical rhythms strain through
distortion and the clouds of noise billow across vast space on opening
track “Kennel Murder Case”, while the
lingering minor pad on “Starved To Death” spells out a more melodious
foreboding behind the gently bludgeoning drum cycle. “Bitten” takes a
more tentative approach, letting its fuzzy backdrop slowly purr around
the delicate, snaking patter of the percussion.
Sharp, rasping beats take the lead in the barren landscape of “Elite
Dogs Of War”, and yet still the opening scuff of “K9 Warrior” will jerk
your head around in a most uncomfortable of fashions. Here the noise is
cloying, attaching itself to any sonic matter trying to peak through the
muck, yet there’s time and space for a militaristic narrative to unfold
towards the climax of the track. That leaves it to “No Dogs Go To
Heaven” to round the release off in a suitably bleak fashion, placing
the emphasis on low-end industrial pulse and swirling static firing out
into an uncertain stereo field.
