rotkeller: atheos

Atheos is a ferocious new collection from Rotkeller, the Swiss electronic duo of Laurent Schmidhäusler and Federico Sutera. Whether it's the slow-burn immensity of opener "SW", the monolithic, doom-laden expanses of "Malz", or the spellbinding surge of "17. October", Atheos showcases a dark melodic complexity. The choral melancholia of "Godless" solidifies Atheos as Rotkeller's most atmospheric and cohesive work. Eomac offers a savage edit of "17. October". It pushes Rotkeller's original track into new rhythmical directions -- the glassy rhythms splintering like shards of light across an eternally eclipsed landscape. A fusion of bold electronic experimentalism and dense, maximalist techno.
