Created in 2019 in New York, the now Florida based industrial project from Gabriel Palacio is preparing to unleash the new album Vision on January 13th, 2023. The upcoming release is a dynamic selection of tracks from ANTIMOZDEBEAST’s discography that showcase the project’s distinctive experimental edge.
“Vision: An Antimozdebeast Collection is a handpicked album from Antimozdebeast by ANTIMOZDEBEAST. The tracks chosen are the ones that represent ANTIMOZDEBEAST at its best. Over the past (upcoming) 4 years ANTIMOZDEBEAST has been working diligently releasing music. Every track was written and produced by Gabriel Palacio the sole and founding member of the project. Vision is a humble submission of the artistry of ANTIMOZDEBEAST.”
Drawing inspiration from the likes of NIN, MINISTRY, SKINNY PUPPY, ROB ZOMBIE and A PERFECT CIRCLE, ANTIMOZDEBEAST finds his music on a balance of sound, noise, and metal. Opening with the nightmarish “Masquerade of Death”, the unique manipulation of textures and genres from ANTIMOZDEBEAST is laid bare. Industrial beats are layered with electronic melodies, contrapuntal rhythms, and distorted vocals that emerge straight out of the abyss. “Shadows Upon The Earth” brings further experimentation with guitars and percussion, alongside the underground industrial mood. Catchy hooks manifest among the chaos giving a nod to rave culture. Journeying through realms of anguish and tranquility, “Maladies of The Mad” ebbs and flows between sequencers and metal guitar riffs. “ICRI” concludes the album with a dark atmosphere. Somber spoken lyrics, accompanied by eerie droning orchestral elements and synths, deliver a dystopian conclusion.
ANTIMOZDEBEAST produces a sound that isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of discordant music. Making use of electronics from arpeggiators to trance gates to enhance the industrial aspect, an array of guitar tones and bass provide an injection of metal into the mix. Vision is an immersive selection of exploratory tracks with a monstrous side.
“It’s industrial metal as noise, full-on immersion that is head-spinning at first, but gradually reveals a tangible structure. […] You’re not just trusting in AntiMozdeBeast to offer you sight of a way in; you’re trusting in yourself that you can grasp hold of it once it is offered.” – Astral Noise
“With the electric synth then kicking in over the top of its harsh vocals and echoing drumbeat, the song has the feel of a horror sci-fi movie come to life; there is a sense of haunting and darkness, interestingly contrasted by the techno that evokes a sense of flashing colourful lights. It feels as though ghosts are breaking through the song with the hopes of hypnotising people with their bright, flashing eyes and their techno sounds.” – Freak Magazine on “Masquerade of Death”.
