Created during a time of social unrest and uncertainty, ​Empoisonné is the brand new label from ​Avernian​, with fierce focus on the more industrial end of the musical spectrum. The inaugural release comes from ​Petals​, the new and exciting collaborative pairing of Avernian himself and ​Cressida​, known for his incredible releases on labels such as Monnom Black, Body Theory & Voitax. Entitled ​Input EP​, the record is a breathless, white knuckle ride which sends the label hurtling out of the starting blocks in 5th gear. Things kick off with title track ​Input,​ a relentless, no holds barred Techno slammer with it’s high tempo and high energy creating an intense and utterly arresting experience. This is followed by ​Deficit,​ marking a change in style it’s informed by the deep swinging groove of it’s powerful kicks which are then drenched in a downpour of ferocious, acidic 303’s, progressing and crescendoing into a world of percussive ecstasy. On the flip side we find ​Genetics,​ carrying an almost apocalyptic atmosphere with its ruthless, crushing drums and siren like sonics, seemingly beckoning mankind into a dystopian underworld. The project is then rounded off by a ​Peder Mannerfelt remix of the title track. It’s swelling and reverberating low-end and mechanical-like nature gives the track a life of it’s own and in turn creates an overwhelming assault on the senses.
