ENDGAME's Precious Metals surveys 12 years of activity with 21 chaotic club, industrial noise, R&B, drill and ambient experiments from Imaabs, Kamixlo, Chino Amobi, Blood of Aza, x/o, Organ Tapes and more.
Whether you've tuned into the long-running Precious Metals NTS show or pored through the label's tight but impressive back catalogue, you'll realize there's not really a genre in mind - it's more a general feeling of "sublime chaos", in their own words. The vibe is crystallized perfectly here, with a bumper selection of 21 tracks from Precious Metals family x/o, Severin Glance, First Circle, Violence and of course ENDGAME, old collaborators like Kamixlo, Imaabs, Nammy Wams, Kat Nzingha, Blood of Aza, Chino Amobi and Organ Tapes, and a few newcomers.
Amobi's 'Child Of War' gets things started, and it's the album's most sedate cut - over five minutes of brooding electroacoustic experimentation that sounds like a jazz band playing in a floatation tank. Things get gnarlier from there, with a rusted darkwave hardstyle deconstruction from Philly-based multidisciplinary artist Nzingha, a 'Silent Hill' moded dembow/Brazilian funk hybrid from enfleshed and Severin Glance's noise-pop-trance-trap-Frenchcore epic 'New Instructions'.
Elsewhere, Kamixlo impresses with the balls-to-the-wall 'Kill', a machine strength sheet metal bruiser that's his heaviest loosie in years, and First Circle give us a chance to catch our breath with the cloudy drill instrumental 'The Equalizer'. Kemitstry finds the mid-point between death metal and basement noise on the furious 'Radiation', and Blood of Aza's wonky 'Severance' is a real standout, with awkward, off-grid rhythms that dissolve into save room ambience.
