Satori
Pillars Of Salt
Satori's mission to document the stupidity of our species continues with 'Pillars Of Salt' - a journey through grinding rhythms, dystopian soundscapes and a fascination into what lies beneath the surface. "An aberrant signal. Data loss. Corrupted programming. Everything should be fine. But it isn't, is it? Everything is f**ked. Something has gotten into the system and is destroying it from within. This is humanity being consumed by the inability to think for itself. Ahead is the future. Just don't look back..." Formed in the mid-'80s, with previous releases on high-calibre labels such as Broken Flag, Cold Spring, Trident, Mindscan, and Tesco Organisation, Satori's sound comprises a mixture of harsh industrial noise and power electronics with harder and heavier percussive beats than before. Their material provides a constant pervasive undercurrent of violence, the feeling of a planet on the verge of collapse and a reflection of the lack of humanity embedded in a culture based on greed and self-preservation.
