What better way to kick off the 09 than with a good dose of psychedelic mayhem? Transcend kids, transcend.

Imagine a level of Dead Space where you get splattered with liquid ecstasy whenever you carry out a strategic dismemberment. You have a revamped arsenal of tools at hand, including the Steve Reich orgone accumulator and the esoteric black dice, which, when thrown at the slimy feet of one of the abominations that lurk in the corridors of the USG Ishimura, deploys a lattice of abstracted blue devastating party power. Only if you score snake eyes though. Otherwise you are fucked. Gyratory System would make the soundtrack, and we would sit in front of the screen drooling like The Lanmower Man had never happened.

One of the XXJFG dudes has gone and remixed Telepathe’s ‘Devil Trident’ as part of that competition thing we told you about some other time, and this would be an aberration of self-promotion if the actual rejig wasn’t so totally sweet. Trust me, I didn’t do it. What Thee Four Horsemen have done is basically turn the sexy voodoo ruminations of the original into an apache krautrock trip which comes across like the satanic teen coven from Blood on Satan’s Claw having a good slice of hash cake 77 and sitting in the midst of the moors to watch the sun complete its eternal cycle at ultra-fast speed while subliminal blood-shot eyes blink in the sky.

As a little banging footnote, you should go here and get Rose for Bodhan’s farewell album, which is available free for download, it sounds like Nation of Ulysses MCing over a bloodsplattered mess of Sonic Youth circa Dead Moon Rising apocalyptic distortion and Wolf Eyes style twirling spirals of vicious noise. It’s the real deal
