An Exacting Punishment, by URANIUM

An Exacting Punishment

by URANIUM

supported by

Lorenzo A monstrosity of industrial black metal scoured in harsh noise / power electronics. Coming across as a disintegrating force, An Exacting Punishment seeks to bludgeon and disfigure its already scathing genre styles into a new beast of annihilation more damaging than any component could muster

Pounding and pulsing industrial beats waver as a formless backbone, pushing foward into the sharpened attack of the shredding vocals that are bathed in caustic layers of noise that are insidiously ruinous

vaddep I don't think Uranium is getting the plays here on SR it deserves simply because they are not really following that sort or wall-of-noise, Portal-like formula, but make no mistake, this record rules!

geccho Crispy gets it: “Uranium lords over the chaos, defiling every millimeter of the frequency spectrum with his venom. [A] new and much-needed benchmark in the growing industrial-metal scene.”

SRUIN169
After the glorious "Wormboiler" cassette tape compilation obliterated human ears in 2021, American one-man black industrial weapon Uranium finally emerges from the depths of oblivion with its debut full-length album "An Exacting Punishment", a five-track, forty-minute radioactive nightmare of complete sonic ruin channelling the darkness of black metal with the scathing immensity of defining post-industrial acts like Brighter Death Now, Godflesh, Wolf Eyes, Swans, MZ. 412, Controlled Bleeding, and Genocide Organ. As the band's name aptly hints at, Uranium was conceived as an aural vessel to explore the outer limits and the most irreversible states of complete human disintegration, and the incineration of its most defining and triumphant achievements; namely society, progress, technology, and civilization, with nuclear power being the conduit and ultimate engine of the greatest and most horrific forms of total annihilation mankind could ever face. Auditory terror both permeates and defines Uranium's music, with bludgeoning and majestic post-industrial soundscapes pulsing inside a lightless void lit only by drifting embers and falling ash, while immense infernal atmospherics wrap their deathly spires around the listener, crushing them into a distorted auditory abyss. Power electronics, industrial noise and black metal have rarely before been seen chained together and weaponized into such a mortal design. An authentic weapon of mass annihilation engineered to face human life with absolute death. A death-scarred reality that emerges from the utter bleakness and ruination of Uranium's apocalyptic design, as the listener is cast at the center of a caustic nuclear nightmare where flesh boils and evaporates off bone, cells erratically split into endless deformities and the world is turned into a mangled, corroded and disfigured radioactive oblivion.

Man, this is some flat out foul death doom metal. Crushingly heavy and intimidating. The whole album oozes a thick and murky atmosphere that will leave you feeling hypoxic and catatonic. Do what you can to brace yourself against this torrent of sludge and slime. 8/10 RJ
