Second album by DNMF, the duo formed between Machinefabriek and the Dutch droning free-jazz combo Dead Neanderthals. Across some forty minutes Smelter develops a highly dynamic amalgam of metal, drone and dark ambient, the heaviness of the Neanderthals' instrumental mass folded into Zuydervelt's electroacoustic processing. The result moves between glacial expansive stasis and dense ferrous noise, holding the two registers in productive friction without resolving them into either.
Prolific experimental music purveyor Machinefabriek and droning free jazz combo Dead Neanderthals team up for the second DNMF album entitled Smelter. Clocking in at nearly 40 minutes, Smelter is a highly dynamic amalgam of metal, drone and dark ambient and is hard to compare to anything else out there. Have a listen and enjoy!
