Malocculsion "Wormfood" Video Premiere at The Brvtalist
The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Malocculsion. The Oakland-based sound, visual and performance artist explores the relationships of sound, the body and the exterior space in which they exist, psychosis, mortality, the prison system and the omnipresent entropic trap door of life. "Wormfood" is a powerful selection off the recently released compilation, Sacred Spells (Pyschic Eye), which brings together some great artists operating in the dark wave and experimental electronic realms from the Bay Area and beyond. In addition, all proceeds from this release benefit benefit TGI Justice Project, a group of transgender, gender variant and intersex people—inside and outside of prisons, jails and detention centers—creating a united family in the struggle for survival and freedom."
Malocculsion "Personal War Machine" Review at Houdini Mansions:
"Personal War Machine is like a never-ending fiery car crash down a rocky cliff into an abandoned junkyard full of genocidal cyborgs. Malocculsion, (whose daytime alias is Michael Daddona - lead skull-crusher over at Ratskin Records,) creates a continual atmosphere of urban mayhem, with overtones lifted directly from 1980s R-rated VHS action movie all-nighters. Squealing tires and rising waves of electronic tone dominate the album in a really great way, creating the feeling of one long night of bone-crunching action and plundertronic, weaponized sampling. Highlight tracks include the beastly monster chase of Melting, which brings to mind classic Carpenter flicks such as ‘The Thing,’ White Hot Burning Light of Darkness - which is built form an ominously vibrating tone that feels both electrified and psychic, and the 13 and a half minute burner of a track God is Alive, and You’re Next to Die, which blends a pounding beat with an incredible hook, and some eerie cinematic effects."
Malocculsion x Headboggle Break Down end Times in "The Collapse" Video Premiere :
"The dark, cinematic and at times mirthful sounds of “The Collapse” highlight the duality of existence and the chaos of current life under late stage capitalism. “Sometimes things are collapsing so fast,” Malocculsion states, “that all you can do is laugh."
