Coalminer are a duo rom the Philippines that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of harsh noise, power electronics and industrial and this is a review of their 2022 album "Beautiful Deterioration" which was released by Steinklang Industries.
Dark soundscapes and music samples start off the album before adding in some harsh noises and brutal power electronics. Tormented screams and disturbed spoken words can also be heard at times while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and chants are also added in certain sections of the recording.
A lot of the music also brings in more of an underground style of industrial while the tracks also get more diverse as the album progresses. Programmed beats are also added on a few tracks.
On this recording Coalminer takes harsh noise, power electronics and industrial and mixes them together to create a very brutal recording. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover darkness, horror, sorrow and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Coalminer and if you are a fan of harsh noise, power electronics and industrial, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Elaboration of Their Appetites'" "I, The Animal" and "Beautiful Deterioration". 8 out of 10.
