Description
Noise demagogue and Diagonal mascot�s 2Nd Lp for the label !As Sure As Night Follows Day is Russell Haswell�s landmark second album for London�s Diagonal
Records. Consolidating a quarter-century at the coal face of extreme computer music, techno and
death metal in 19 tracks and 49 minutes, it�s Haswell�s most coherent yet varied burst of activity to
date � zigzagging from improvised n0!se outbursts and asphyxiated R&B to a brace of thundering
acid bullets that positively froth for the �floor.
The album was extracted over a fast-working period in late 2014, and is best perceived as a sort
of fractured regression to his formative influences: you can hear the picnoleptic recollections of
grindcore shows in the Black Country; the refracted shades of mega-raves at Coventry�s Eclipse;
the conflating toxic texture-memories of early Japanese noise; and the incandescent stomp of
Mills and Hood in that early 90s phase.
Fortunately for the ravers, this album includes some of Haswell�s most direct dance floor attacks to
date. �Hardwax Flashback�, for instance, finds him in pure tekno panik mode � a four-to-the-floor
wrecking ball groove that someone, somewhere, may even be able to mix. �Gas Attack� distils his
penchant for all things Belgium into a vicious strain of New Beat lactic acid. Haswell then doffs his
cap to Detroit electro legends Drecxiya on �Underwater Electronic
