Nefarious Industries presents Alterer, a remix album of the 2021 Stumbling Through The Walls LP by Danish progressive noise rock act HIRAKI.
Alterer features reworkings from ten artists who stem from a wide and varied array of musical backgrounds but have been selected by HIRAKI because of their superb ears and skills within sound transformation.
The
compilation is a nonprofit project brought to life by Solidarity
Reworks, a new venture by visual artist, multi-instrumentalist, and HIRAKI vocalist Jon Gotlev (noheroes.dk).
The project brings together artists and cultural activism in a
nonprofit creative collective. The outcome is super limited edition
music reworks and apparel - all in favor of a good cause that deserves
more attention.
“When
recording and releasing a song you often end up with a feeling that
this particular track couldn't have sounded any other way. We are
completely blown away by the creativity of the artists and how they have
been able to find and enhance sounds and melodies below the noises that
we ourselves didn’t even know were there,” says guitarist Tue Schmidt
Rasmussen.
Among
the contributing artists are friends from exquisite hardcore acts such
as LLNN, Hexis, and Eyes. But the list also boasts of renowned EDM
artists such as MirrorSHIP and Malou Mørkeberg. The Danish masters of
art-pop KH Marie have even translated and re-sung all of the vocals for
their version of “Wonderhunt.”
“It
was important for us to also include musicians that normally operate in
genre spectrums far from what we do. This has truly brought some beauty
and diversity to our harsh universe and the track list comes together
just perfectly,” says drummer Tim Frederiksen.
Jon
Gotlev elaborates: “By transforming the original artwork or creating a
new expression for a musical piece, I feel a strong connection to the
artists behind it and really strive to grasp their deepest intentions
with the work in order to create something unique. In general, the world
is in urgent need for a higher degree of unity.”
Alterer will see release via Nefarious Industries on randomly mixed colored vinyl, hand assembled by HIRAKI, and limited to 200 unique records. All profits from the vinyl sales benefit MSF / Doctors Without Borders (msf.org).
A video for the opening track from Alterer, the John Cxnnor Rework of “Common Fear,” is now playing at THIS LOCATION.
Alterer will
see release on May 13th. See the wide range of random colors and
hand-assembled vinyl and find preorders for the vinyl and all digital
