Metaconqueror | zh

Metaconqueror is the solo project of Texas resident John Stillings, one half of the noise terrorist unit Steel Hook Prostheses. Whereas SHP’s pieces utilise unsubtle blasts of animalistic venom and bile to paint pictures of atavistic nihilism and unbridled atrocity, Metaconqueror, while still treading a path tending to the qlippothic and the nightside of Eden, employs an altogether more subtly Gothic (as in its original definition, not the hijacking by those of a certain subculture), but no less dangerous, approach. Here the palette consists of broader, grainier, and vastly more cinematic washes, delineating spectrally demonic landscapes and spaces, indeed spaces inhabited by the ghosts and shades of those that have even been rejected from the black realms of the underworld. It’s a cold, dark, unforgiving place, where even light seeks to escape its oppressive airs and where shadows hide in black fathomless depths.
