Listen to ATLiens and SVDDEN DEATH’s Behemoth of a Collab, “Purgatory”
ATLiens and SVDDEN DEATH have awoken an unholy terror with their newest single,” “Purgatory.” Like the cries of a creature from hell but also somehow from space like in DOOM, ATLiens and SVDDEN DEATH’s new collaboration kicks off with an echoing transmission from beyond. A fast-paced, interstellar beat takes center stage as they power up the warp-drive to reach the speed of light. ATLiens and SVDDEN DEATH then introduce a woozy meld of mechanical growls, haunting whispers and glitchy synths as they slam on the breaks and cut the song to a crawl. The byproduct is a wonderfully produced amalgam of the former’s experimental bass and the latter’s sinister sound design from the underworld. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles “PurgatoryR...

All Quiet on the Western Front Trailer Depicts Horrors of World War I: Watch
“We have so much to say, and we shall never say it,” reads a quote in the trailer for Netflix’s upcoming World War I drama All Quiet on the Western Front. It’s an excerpt from Erich Maria Remarque’s 1929 anti-war novel of the same name, which serves as the source material for the film. The story centers around a young German soldier named Paul Bäumer (played by Felix Kammerer) who lies about his age so he can enlist alongside his friends, all of whom share romanticized ideals about the war. As the trailer depicts, Bäumer is quickly thrown into the trenches with little training or equipment and subjected to the bleak conditions of the Western Front. To make things worse, the German government seems unwilling to accept the reality of its losing cause despite the urging of a ceasefire fr...
