thorofon - Angor (2023)

krankpop: ANGOR - a sonic descent through anguish and relentless unease by THOROFON.

ANGOR weaves a haunting tapestry of musical genres, threading together industrial power electronics, minimal electro and haunting dark ambient. this journey into the depths of sound evokes an unsettling sense of foreboding, as the atmosphere oscillates between icy, clinical disquiet and aggressive, heart-rending crescendos that drive the forceful lyrics straight into the core of your being.

dan courtman / THOROFON, the mastermind behind this disconcerting soundscape, forges an audial masterpiece oozing with torment and anxiety. the music is tinged with the essence of krankpop, where eerie synth lines, born from analog devices, linger ominously. a rhythmic core throbs with relentless intensity, as the metallic percussion weaves seamlessly with a psychotic voice that borders on the edge of madness.

during a recording session for the song "fool's cage," long-time friend, frank ursus aka Te/DIS, joined in, and the outcome evolved into a haunting dystopian pop composition, tailor-made for abandoned dancefloors. the album ANGOR is the second part of the sinister world of GLADIO ANGOR - a sonic descent into the abyss, that is simultaneously captivating and disconcerting.
