BODY PROPHECY LP - B1 NEON GREEN / SILVER / BLACK MERGE
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
With the release of Black Magnet’s debut album ‘Hallucination Scene’ in 2020 a new Industrial Metal power emerged from the unlikely landscape of Oklahoma City. After anxiously waiting out the pandemic Black Magnet returned to the road in late 2021 and now drop ‘Body Prophecy’ the second full length burst of machine driven mayhem and electronic deviance.
On ‘Body Prophecy’ mastermind James Hammontree welds the frenetic vitality of post-punk and metal energy with driving synthetic club beats, factory force physicality and alluringly stark melodic pulses. Tracks like ‘Floating in Nothing’ and ‘Violent Mechanix’ feature both intensely catchy hooks and hammering brutal noise. ‘Sold Me Sad’ is a quietly deranged lullaby that takes an atmospheric turn. The throbbing drug-addled lurch of the Manson / Reznor-esque ‘Incubate’ is, at the end of the album, treated to a completely re-imagined and extended club style remix by scene legend Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Zonal, etc).
For all its harsher, scraping atmospheres and pummeling aggression ‘Body Prophecy’ always remains an eminently tight, memorable album molded for the stage and constructed to keep bodies in motion and listeners transfixed.

lyrics
I was never there, I was perfect
Floating in the air without purpose
I spilled my blood on a cross of regret
I chewed my nails until nothing was left
I sat down on the side of a hill
And made friends with a bottle of pills
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
I sold myself at the cost of a friend
Devoted to pain and to ignorance
I fought my soul for the need to forget
And crowned myself on a pile of shit
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
Ready your mind
Chat pile c’est une cuillère à soupe de Sonic Youth, une pincée de Ministry, une cuillère à café de Joy Division et le résultat est très très bon !!

It really gives me the headache, but once in a while, in small doses, I reckon its cathartic effects. Although, in all honesty, I don't see me buying another album by this artist. Bertrand Marchal
Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017
This is the type of album you listen to while cowering in the corner in the fetal position with tears streaming down your face. End Position is abrasive, horrifying, nihilistic, and brilliant. nnpoc.
