Balbulus
Balbulus biography
"...somewhere between Industrial, Metal, Ambient, and Punk", balbulus formed in Kent in 2004. Duality and paradox are recurrent themes of the balbulus universe. Aspects of traditional culture are juxtaposed with elements of post-modern abstraction. Modern digital technology is coupled with deliberately basic recording and gigging setups.
Sounds Like: Either: a melting pot of different influences, from Black Metal to traditional Folk, to abstract Electronica and Post-Rock, Or: a cross-section through my CD collection... You decide. Neurosis meets Killing Joke at a Swans gig whilst whistling Autechre? Godflesh meets Joy Division at a Hawkwind gig whilst whistling Folk tunes?
