in 1992 lustmord and clock dva-founder adi newton were forged 'the monstrous soul', a follow-up to the seminal 'heresy'. unlike its predecessor, the monstrous soul didn't use field recordings from crypts, etc., instead relying on extensive digital recording, sounds sourced and manipulated from military surplus sound generators and spoken word samples. expanding on the previous album which created a literal hell - here there is a more surreal realm.
the five tracks continually engage the listener with carefully timed events that permeate the haunting sonic landscapes fading out into quiet yet menacing dissonance. undeniably a master of sonic darkness, and established as such early on. acolytes of ambient's nether regions will flock (again, or for the first time) to the blackened altar that is the monstrous soul.
