Today, Chaos Records
announces October 21st as the international release date for Faustian Hallucinations, a special
split EP between Prezir and Beastlurker, on CD format.
Featuring two exclusive songs each from both bands for a total of 24 minutes, Faustian Hallucinations is a
stellar display of two uprising American hordes. Prezir are a
Milwaukee-based black metal band whose moniker is a Serbian word that roughly
translates to “contempt.” They are thusly named, with the stated goal of
creating acrimonious heavy metal in the spirit of their influences, with a
mutual disgust for the direction of modern metal. Lyrically, the themes focus
on the derision of dogmatism and corruptive ideologies, this being central to
the preservation of philosophy and fortification of the intellect. The lyrics
thematically target the comprehension and study of history. Prezir’s two songs presented on
this split are the first offerings from the band that focus on tales from the
new world, capturing the all-devouring and insatiable manifest fate of American
individualism and disregard for convention, each focusing on a single monstrous
creation of the continental experiment.
Hailing from Chicago, Beastlurker was conceived
in the fall of 2017 by M.A. Maggio and J. Geist while uniting at a known
Finnish metal festival. Shortly after, an invitation was extended to S.
Boersma. All music thus far was written, developed, and documented on Chicago’s
Southside to provide a violent, vitriolic, yet explorative black metal
experience. M.M. developed the neologism of Beastlurker based
on personal demons lurking mercilessly within the psyche. The lyrical agenda is
to create an excursion through a dark plane of personal history and
documentation of lessons and enlightenments purposed into the cultivation of
psychological and spiritual make-up. Overall, the artform is a result of the
repurposing of internal and external strife to a positive medium of
communication. The cathartic value is highly embraced, as the creations are
like a poison extraction or antivenom in a way – or a healthy means to
administer legal, creative violence. Beastlurker’s
side of the split with was tracked instrumentally live in a raw, organic, and
honest fashion without the use of click tracks or editing: a new approach to
their craft, yet a natural gravitation of the band’s species and its evolution.
