Constructed from the aggressive textures of early industrial music,
the ambience of cold wave, and the dynamic energy of post-punk; Deathday
blends dark and often esoteric images with sparse, primal analog
sounds.
In 2009, the trio began to work on what would become their debut
album amidst the summer heat, immersing themselves in isolation, dark
iconography, occultism, and American violence. To capture the aesthetics
of the subject matter musically, the band exercised heavy use of tape
saturation and manipulation, recording on everything from reel-to-reels
to boomboxes. Cascading through a plethora of tape mediums and analog
devices intentionally gave the recordings a sense of urgency and decay.
Deathday’s self-titled debut will be issued on limited white vinyl via desire in association with Sweating Tapes.
