Kollaps

Swamp Booking proudly presents the final December 2023 schedule of post-industrial band Kollaps who will be performing 17 shows across the European continent. With a revamped live set, the band will be featuring the use of percussive instruments sourced from used morgue equipment that are suspended on crude self constructed apparatuses and various other metals of which also carry the burden of very real, macabre and questionable histories. As Kollaps make their way throughout the continent they will be intermingling with a wider coterie of outcasts such as OPERANT, Of The Wand & The Moon, Mouth Wound and Pharmakon.

Excerpt of Lux Atenea's review of Cold Spring's latest sampler release which featured our a track of ours, 'Hate is Forever'.

Translated from Spanish:

"Divided into two CDs, the musical selection that supports this compilation is dazzling from the first song to the last. A wide and diverse conceptual range that will begin with the song “Hate Is Forever” by Kollaps, included in their post-industrial masterpiece “Until The Day I Die” (read album review). “Hate Is Forever” is brutal, loud, demonic, and a whirlwind of hate that wreaks destruction in its wake as it drifts madly into the chaos that will annihilate it."

"Until The Day I Die" is the third album from Australian post-industrial outfit KOLLAPS.

"Until The Day I Die" is a merciless and visceral assault on the senses and continues the trajectory of the band's idiosyncratic approach in their creation of sound. The album showcases an uncompromising force of harsh post-industrial music narrated by overarching themes of condemnation and redemption; of violence, romanticism, sexuality, and addiction. Much of the creation and lyrical conceptualisation of the record has been stylised and presented using William S. Burroughs' cut-up method.

A wide variety of metals and raw materials were used in the creation of the album including metal grates, a rusted hoist, cement cylinders, field recordings, hammering of various decrepit objects, broken amplifiers, an exposed reverb tank, various synthesizers, and the infamous metal coil; a crudely self-constructed artifice that has become iconic in its use across KOLLAPS' triptych of releases and lengthy touring history in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Until The Day I Die" has had a tectonic shift in production methods compared to its predecessors and was entirely written, recorded, and mixed internally the self-constructed ILoveHeroin Studios built above a sculpture museum in Lugano, Switzerland. All instrumentation was handled by Wade Black except for bass guitar by Andrea Collaro recorded at Hangar 121 in Lenate Pozzollo, Italy on all tracks except "D-IX" and "I Believe In The Closed Fist,"

I Believe In The Closed Fist

A body that has aged to stone,
Weathered and overburdened
I struggled to breathe as a child,
With lungs that were filled with coal.
There’s a God crushed beneath my feet,
The brittle bones of birds,
His mouth is a smouldering shotgun,
A credible threat of violence.

A pathogen has infected my body,
The expression of pain is a melody
Where once there was only words,
Air now silently passes through my throat

Hail Mary.

Drink the morphine from the river of my veins,
Under a destroyed sky there is a hole in my heart,
As I believe in the closed fist.
Get up.

I am the architect of my own violence,
A death's head on a crucifix,
I believe in the closed fist,
Get up.

Blood flowers grow in the abyss of my stomach,
Your mind swells like a cerebral tumour,
The fractures that I have carved into your cranium,
They cause you to speak in tongues.
I believe in the closed fist.
