Maggot Mass (LP)
Pharmakon
Amoeba Review
After a five-year hiatus, the inimitable Pharmakon has summoned another brutally intense onslaught in the form of Maggot Mass. The album seethes with rage and reckoning; it's Margaret Chardiet's means of grappling with humanity's seemingly adversarial relationship with the planet and other peoples. Incorporating elements from industrial and punk rock, the album pulsates with despair yet finds redemption of sorts by contemplating rebirth through death. Maggot Mass is a brilliantly abrasive exploration of personal and large-scale grief and loss.
