A descent into shadow, a meditation on entropy — Amon‑Ra Nipnoiz marks a new chapter in the uncompromising sonic journey of M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi), one of the seminal architects of Italian industrial and experimental noise. Across two long-form compositions, M.B. manipulates subharmonic frequencies and spectral drones into a ritualistic soundscape. Like the solar deity Amon-Ra staring into the oblivion of the modern machine age, this work radiates an unsettling energy—hypnotic, yet fractured, illuminating only to reveal deeper darkness.
Renouncing easy listening and commercial compromise, Amon‑Ra Nipnoiz operates as a sonic exorcism: an invocation to dismantle perception, dissolve narrative, and confront the raw, unstable matter of existence. Side A pulses with low-frequency tectonic shifts, metallic echoes, and scorched harmonics; Side B drifts into an oppressive stillness, where each texture gnaws at the edges of silence.
For devotees of the post-industrial underground, M.B.’s tape is as much an artifact as a recording—a document of survival and resistance against the sterilizing forces of mass culture and convenience.
