about

Oliver Ho returns with his post-metal ambient project SLOW WHITE FALL, presenting FLOOD, an album of 10 brutal cinematic experiments in sound pressure and industrial electronics.
Since the debut record on Karl O’Connor’s Downwards label, Oliver Ho has stretched and pushed the sound into heavier more widescreen sonic territories. Coming on Justin K Broadrick's Avalanche Recordings, FLOOD represents a deep dive into dense soundscapes that explore the idea of the sea. Its huge size and overwhelming presence act as a metaphor for death, and the infinite.
The idea of passing from this world into another is something that is a strong theme in Oliver’s work, the mantra which runs through his music is “We become sound when we die”
This idea of becoming sound and dissolving the physical being elevates music and sound to a transcendent status, it is sound as the next phase of existence.
The album begins with Mountain of Light, sparse instrumental patterns that echo and drone, are slammed by bulldozer drums and death metal guitar noise. The next song, White Horses features ambient synths and pummelling drums and feedback. Beautiful Abyss has a slow motion Valium soul that envelopes itself. The album continues with its journey into dense and relentless doom electronics, passing through moments of quiet ambience at points, which act as a place of stillness amongst the crushing walls of noise.
The final track, In The Heart of The Great Alone, is a glacial drift of growling distorted bass rumbles, and decaying guitar distortion. A final resting place of dissolving sound.

For almost 25 years, I have been listening to early Celluloid Mata, Imminent Starvation, Esplendor Geometrico, and many who tiptoe around this territory, including myself, but this project is beyond my imagination. Incredible. TARANTULA FACE

POST SELF

Dur de définir qu'elle est le meilleur album de GODFLESH, en fait ils ont tous leur singularité. Je trouve que sur cet album GODFLESH a atteint une sorte de perfection à leur musique, à la fois froide, brutale et industrielle mais aussi envoûtante et mentale. Cet album est un condensé du meilleur de GODFLESH, c'est pour moi l'album de la consécration. Je vais mettre "BE GOD" en titre préféré pour sa puissance, lourde et complètement mystique mais tous les titres sont excellents. gaston_macoute

Banger after banger on this one. Crank the volume, and ensure you have some solid subs going. I'd buy this on vinyl in a heartbeat. Mr. Paul
