Trauma Collective Vinyl & CDs

Review: Mahk Rumbae, the Vienna-based mastermind behind Codex Empire and half of Konstruktivists, drops his Rotten Fodder EP on Trauma Collectiveiand it's a proper dark, twisted ride. Kicking off with 'Oracular Soul,' you get a relentless techno thumper, setting a no-nonsense tone right from the jump. 'Commissioner of Grief' switches gears, dragging you through a dystopian soundscape full of heavy beats and eerie "arabesque" vibes. Flip over, and 'Force the Tools Available' pulls you into razor-sharp industrial breaks. Finally, 'Maelstrom of Shit' lives up to its name, unleashing syncopated chaos for a brutal, unforgettable finish.
