On the A-side of this latest CY installment we have the Dutch electronic new school versus the old school with Volition Immanent and Zombies Under Stress. The grimacing visage of Volition Immanent, an intense live act made up of Parrish Smith and Mark Van de Maat (Knekelhuis) kick things off. Behind rawkish distortion, splintered beats and acrid bars screams a boiled anger; a track spitting on the divides of punk and electronics. Nastiness is taken up a notch as noise ne'er-do-wells Zombies Under Stress take over. Started in 1984 as a one man project mixing Industrial, electronic, multimedia and improvisation, Zombies Under Stress is not a band, it's a project. With them static is bent and doubled across thick chords and collapsed claps in the 1986 "Maan Zal Zijn" before the raw and raging battery of "In Onze Tijd." L.I.E.S. regular Svengalisghost grapples with "Maan Zal Zijn, channeling the original's rage into a mechanical monster. The 12" is bookended with bite as Mark Forshaw (Tabernacle/Berceuse Heroique) closes with the tortured and torrential thump of "Submission".
