ââ¦disillusionment baked into electronics, metal, and noise.â â IDIOTEQ
Ahead of its release this Friday, Intersect, the damaging third EP from Virginia-based electronic/industrial project DIGITAL NEGATIVE, is now streaming in its entirety exclusively at Idioteq alongside a track-by-track breakdown.
DIGITAL NEGATIVE is the project created by Richard Johnson (Drugs Of Faith, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil) and Daniel Euphrat (Person918x, Timmy Sells His Soul, Bodied). The bandâs eponymous debut EP was created remotely during the 2020 COVID lockdowns when the project was spawned, which quickly inspired the creation of the bandâs simply named second recording, EP 2, released early in 2023. With the members working in-person on the second release, the material naturally became more aggressive and cohesive; rhythmic sound collages constructed of guitars, electronic drums, samples, and vocals. DIGITAL NEGATIVE also made their live debut during the second EP phase as well, performing several shows across the Northern Virginia/Washington DC area.
The progression of DIGITAL NEGATIVEâs exploration continues, as proven on their impending third EP, Intersect. As with both prior EPs, Intersect delivers five new songs, which see the band digging further into their electronic and industrial influences while continuing to focus on socio-political and dystopian themes. The vocals and field samples for Intersect were performed and recorded by Johnson with the guitars, electronics, and samples were performed/recorded by Euphrat who mixed the record, after which it was mastered by Angel Marcloid at Angel Hair Studio. Fans of Godflesh, Skinny Puppy, Pitch Shifter, Front Line Assembly, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, Throbbing Gristle, and Einstürzende Neubauten should add DIGITAL NEGATIVE to their rotation immediately.
With their advance stream of Intersect, IDIOTEQ has posted a track-by-track breakdown from the band, the article reading in part, âBuilt on layers of distortion, structured chaos, and rhythmic agitation, Intersect furthers the bandâs sonic and thematic trajectoryâdisillusionment baked into electronics, metal, and noise.â
