Assassination

Assassination sounds like a transmission from a pirate radio station located in a haunted 1970s bunker. It is a strange, intoxicating blend of the raw aggression found in crust punk and the swirling, hypnotic textures of vintage psychedelic rock. The guitars are coated in a thick layer of analog fuzz, while the drums maintain a driving, almost motorik pulse that pushes the music forward with a sense of urgent, militant purpose.

What truly sets this project apart is the 'magickal' atmosphere that permeates every track. Unlike the polished theatricality of mainstream occult rock, Assassination feels genuinely clandestine and rough around the edges. There is a distinct 'tape-trading' era quality to the production, where the hiss and saturation are as much a part of the composition as the eerie, understated synth lines that occasionally drift through the mix like smoke.

For those new to this sound, the album 'Circles Within Circles' is the essential entry point. It perfectly captures the transition from their harsher, crust-influenced beginnings into the more expansive, psychedelic 'Militant Magick Metal' style that has earned them a dedicated cult following. It is music for people who want their metal to feel like a dangerous secret.
