Dazzling Malicious has always been open for collaborations, but
the fourth album sees the addition of a steady new band member,
female vocalist pola argentum, marcus' new partner in (not only)
crime. this addition to the lineup also heavily affects the
musical output: dazzling malicious moves away from what was
roughly rhythmic noise industrial into a dark and absurd
territory of it's own. the epic 11 minute opener 'the light and
the twin flame' is something like a guide post to the new face
of dazzling malicious: psychedelic background sounds, queer and
fragile rhythm structures, scraping noises, nightmarish choirs
and pola's outerworldly vocals - you can clearly pin down a
reference to the legendary nurse with wound (for whom pola
argentum has already performed live vocals, by the way). this
experimental approach constitutes the backbone of 'àis like so',
to be rediscovered and diversified in 'tiny sheep cloud', 'not
perfect', 'don't love me' and the closing title 'strange ways',
leading the album to a grand finale. inbetween, some
retrospection of the more rhythmic industrial sound is to be
found in 'self mutilating behaviour' with it's german vocal
samplings, 'fuck nwo' (a shorter version of which can be found
on the 2011 maschinenfest sampler), 'whore hound' and 'vodka
skill', even though in all of those tracks marcus manages to
drown the rhythmic build-up gloriously in a maelstrom of most
peculiar sounds. the centrepiece of the album is another 11
minute monster, 'i wish i was a tree', featuring the lyrics and
vocals of sickdoll, a known figure in the german minimal electro
scene. this piece changes it's pace more often than i can count,
resulting in a ranting proclamation of doom, driven by an almost
martial marching beat. the resume of all this can only be:
dazzling malicious has gained new strength with the addition of
pola argentum, the project has found a discrete, sometimes
abstract musical language that is well recommended to discover.
