vsrn An impressive follow-up to the masterpiece that was The Chasms of My Heart, with enough percussive notes to satisfy anyone who enjoyed the more beat-driven nature of Fighting For Nothing. While the alternate cover on the LP is decidedly less elegant in its portrayal of the experience contained therein, said album expands on the cathartic depravity we've come to expect from this project by introducing a seemingly dichotomous, albeit largely effective, orchestral majesty to the suffering.

brantly Throbbing Gristle meets Tim Hecker? Prurient meets Oren Ambarchi? Regardless of my attempts to classify this LP, it's a phenomenal LP of rich, dark eulogies brimming with fractured, noisy black-ambience!

Travis Niemeyer For some people, even nightmarish tunes must have traditional structure and tonal values. Theologian are here to not only prove that wrong, but CRUSH that notion.

SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE ENDURED.

The latest offering from NY synth-death master Theologian (aka Leech, also the mastermind behind the renowned power electronics/death industrial outfit Navicon Torture Technologies), "Some Things Have To Be Endured" features eight new tracks of punishing black industrial, apocalyptic darkwave frequencies, and nerve-rending electronic deathscapes. "Endured" is a collection of collaborations between Theologian and a lineup of female vocalists/artists from both within the industrial / noise / dark ambient / coldwave realm and beyond, with contributions from Rachael Kozak (Hecate), Kristen MacArthur (Sewer Goddess), Rachel Maloney (Tonikom), Nikki Telladictorian (Prometheus Burning), Patricia Benitez (Fetish Drone), Gillian Leigh Bowling (Teloahqaal), Christiana Key (Delphic Oracle), Joan Hacker (Factoria), Shari Vari (Void Vision), and professional opera singer Melissa C. Kelly. The tracks shift from grinding industrial dread to ethereal coldwave beauty, blasts of rumbling blackened synthcrush met with washes of haunting electronic melody, while always remaining rooted in Theologian's bleak, jet-black industrial sound. Co-produced with Derek Rush/DREAM INTO DUST and mastered by James Plotkin, "Some Things Have To Be Endured" contains some of the most moving and dramatic music to emerge from Theologian's black sonic abyss, and the album comes adorned with striking photography by Ione Rucquoi that makes this one of the more visually arresting releases in Theologian's growing catalog.
