KTL - Kindertotenlieder (2006)

Ok, maybe time for some real noise again. KTL are Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) and Peter Rehberg of Pita (also boss of independent label Editions Mego). This is their first album.
A skeletal finger ushers us into O'Malleys black-metal inspired world while allowing Rehberg to conjur up wobbling sub-bass frequencies and horrifying electronic noise. This is where you realise this is music that simply must be played at a high volume. At least I hope so.

The music was composed for performance artist Gisèle Vienne and author Dennis Cooper’s theatre production called "Kindertotenlieder".

The term "Kindertotenlieder" (Songs on the Death of Children) refers to Friedrich Rückert's poem cycle and Gustav Mahler's musical interpretation.

This is rrreally grim.
