Primitive, old school industrial, with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. This is the first CD edition of Himukalt's cult 2018 LP (originally released on Malignant Records), remastered and including bonus material from the same recording sessions. "There's something uniquely old school and primitive at work here, capturing the claustrophobic, unsettled and fragmented sound of early Illusion of Safety or mid-late '80s industrial on a whole, contemporising it, and filling it in with an obsessive, post-mortem feel. 'Knife Through The Spine' delivers a steady cascade of abstract sounds, festering with grinding pneumatic throb, coarse frequency blasts and sputtering electronic oscillations, with spliced snippets of processed, flanged vocals and a general sense of social anxiety and disaffection. A unique and challenging take on heavy electronics for fans of Puce Mary, She Spread Sorrow, Atrax Morgue". Himukalt is the Nevada-based project of the enigmatic Ester KοΏ½rkkοΏ½inen. Presented in a 6-panel digipak.

Recorded at Rommel, in pain and without Marie, in the wet and the dry of 2017, except for The American Redhead which was completed in 2020 out of source material from 2017.

Thanks to Kris Lapke for his technical support in the final construction of this album, to Malignant Records for first issuing these recordings, to Found Remains for unwavering support, and to Cold Spring for wishing to see Knife Through the Spine in print once again.

Mastered by Martin Bowes, January 2021.
