Our failure to demand justice for everyone leaves us all without justice. Our failure to halt the crushing of popular movements that stand unequivocally with the oppressed leaves us all oppressed.” Belief Defect – “How to Kill Symbols”

While working on @belief_defect - Desire and Discontent, we felt a compelling need to challenge ourselves by integrating acoustic instruments into our digital framework. The first person we thought of for a collaboration was our old friend, the exceptionally skilled drummer and electronic music producer @merlin_ettore , aka @sorcery_music . His ability to seamlessly fuse raw acoustic percussion with harsh electronic textures made him the perfect counterpoint to our vision. Merlin’s live performances are a relentless display of polyrhythmic intensity, leaving a profound, almost visceral impact. His impeccable timing and flawless sense of rhythm are a testament to his mastery as a drummer — his inner clock is unparalleled. His command of both acoustic drums and analog machinery added a weight and complexity to our work that was the much-needed addition we were looking for. He contributed drums to Void State, injecting the track with an escalating, almost feverish tension that was essential to the song’s final breakdown. Although processed samples of his drums can be heard throughout the album, his presence as a live performer also anchors the opening track, The Difference Between Objects, where his percussion weaves a darker, more menacing energy into the fabric of the album. BELIEF DEFECT - DESIRE & DISCONTENT is out NOW on @rastermedia . Special edition vinyl pre order for north America coming soon, EU edition is available for pre order now via Rasters @bandcamp : Streaming available at all outlets. #raster #beliefdefect #industrial #electronics #livedrumming #hybriddrummer
