Uncodified
Erased People
Bella Italia has been a breeding ground for genre-defining industrial noise and power electronics projects since the beginning of the art form. Among the flag-bearers of contemporary audial terrorists is Uncodified. Fronted by Corrado Altieri and sporting an impressive list of releases on labels like Unrest and Old Europa Cafe, Uncodified has been enticing fanatics for more than 10 years. In many ways, this 2024 full-length continues in the footsteps of previous releases. Heavy synthwork dominates full-sounding and diverse song-structures that convey a feeling of oppression and exaltation felt in a crumbling, dissonant world. It is interesting that Altieri's very distinct style manages to combine the old and the new in ways only few can. There is definitely that trace of synth-driven minimalism Atrax Morgue was praised for, but also a great deal of innovation and modern skill. 'Erased People' is another landmark in Dunkelheit's ever expanding catalogue of harsh industrial and a must-buy for old and new fans of the genre. Certainly another masterpiece by Uncodified and a further proof that industrial is alive and kicking.
