Uranium are a solo project from Pennsylvania that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays blackened form of industrial with elements of harsh noise and death industrial and this is a review of his 2023 album "Pure Nuclear Death" which will b e released in October by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
Death industrial style soundscapes start off the album along with some distorted yet heavy riffing a few seconds later. When t he music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and all of the tracks a re also very long and epic in length.
Growls can also be heard at times while all of the drum beats are also programmed while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also mixing in a lot of power electronics and harsh noises, spoken word samples are also utilized on a few tracks and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as some synths also being added into certain sections of the recording.
On this album Uranium remains true to the mixture of black emtal, death industrial and harsh noise that he had established on his previous release. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover science, ethical literature and philosophy theme.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Uranium and if you are a fan of blackened industrial, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Absolute Terror" and "Black Night Satellite". 8 out of 10.
