INTOLITARIAN Sign With Hells Headbangers; Preparing Double Album Debut
November 12, 2015, 9 years ago
Hells Headbangers has confirmed with signing of North America's Intolitarian. Spearheaded by notorious provocateur Antichrist Kramer - and, in the past, rumored to include members of Deathspell Omega, Incantation, Anal Cunt, and Godless North, but with more recent lineups always changing, no one but Kramer knows for sure - Intolitarian will release its next album, Modernity Resistance, Pt.1 - Cesspool Annihilation and Pt.2 - Societal Holocaust - slated to be a massive double-CD/LP work, with each album featuring a different lineup - during the second half of next year via Hells Headbangers.
Without hyperbole, there is nothing else around in any current musical landscape that sounds quite like Intolitarian. Sonically, Intolitarian mainlines elements of grindcore, black metal, power electronics, noisecore, and powerviolence, but mangles them in such an overwhelming, over-the-top manner that the sound is uniquely its own, and thus its own self-proclaimed style of berserker blackgrind noisecore. As such, Intolitarian seeks to punish the listener, unleashing undulating waves of audial violence, tormenting one's ears to the brink of uncomfort and then obliterating the beyond. The crusade for abject cruelty began with 2011's Omnicidal Murderer EP and then was followed by two albums, 2012's Berserker Savagery and 2014's Deathangle Absolution, all of which successively found fervent devotion in the darkest corridors of the underground - as well as widespread controversy, particularly for Intolitarian's provocative use of spoken word, which is strategically utilized to bring the reality of the entity to the forefront.
Beyond the sheer sonics, however, Intolitarian is even more distinct in its aesthetic presentation. Each release features its own color scheme, and every release has a two-word/seven-syllable title. Visually, the graphics and layout utilized by Antichrist Kramer are distinctly his own, instilling shock and awe, terror and tension. Each element of his artwork and each unique sigil serves a strategic purpose; nothing is left to chance. Altogether, it's a stark and unforgiving canvas, and the perfect visual representation of everything Intolitarian's music and lyrics embody: hatred and fear, domination and submission, total intolerance. Intolitarian is UNpolitically correct - no apologies, no remorse, no one is safe.
A statement from Antichrist Kramer reads: "Intolitarian is my declaration of war. My harnessed revenge and attack on every single one of you. You, the weak, parasitic, subvermin sacks of flesh, greedily feeding from the trough of enslavement, deception, and inferiority... You, the hollow, pathetic, willing, and unwilling pawns of the enslaver. Created through mental conditioning and indoctrination to become their drone servants. Slaves created to assist in the carrying out of their domination agenda, their control, and the enslavement of all beings in this world, and to keep those few such as myself, at bay, and doing whatever is necessary to try to keep me under control. The vicious hatred and scorn that has been seething, boiling, and festering within me for over three and a half decades, that has been manifested and weaponized into the cymatic blade held against your neck. This was not created and I do not exist for your pleasure, acceptance, support, or adulation. This is not for fame, recognition, or stardom. This is my revenge. This is my weapon. This is my declaration. This is my absolution. Kneel before the Hate Legion... Intolitarian does not exist for pleasure. Intolitarian exists for pain."
