Celestial/Chthonic by Ben Arzate

In his usual manner of writing like a frustrated musician, Ben Arzate's new single "Celestial/Chthonic" is an underground metal tape in literary form. "Angel Lust" is a dreamy, experimental blackgaze exploration of sex, death, and responding to traumatic events. The staccato rhythm pounds along and melds into a hazy and disturbing atmosphere. "Outhouse Boy" is a disgusting, tongue-in-cheek tale reminiscent of a lofi goregrind track. Originally premiered in a reading at the Killercon Gross Out Contest, this gurgling procession of revolting imagery is now available for mass consumption.
