Abu Lahab (musical Project)
Abu Lahab is an experimental music project based in Morocco. It takes its name from Abū Lahab, meaning "Father of Flame", who is recognized in Islamic tradition as one of the most prominent leaders in the Quraysh tribe of Banu Hashim and paternal uncle to the prophet Muhammad. Because of the nihilistic and anti-Islamic themes present in his oeuvre, the composer behind Abu Lahab has chosen to remain unidentified. Active since 2000, the project bridges dark ambient, industrial and drone music to create nightmarish soundscapes. His three full-length albums, '' Humid Limbs of the Torn Beadsman'' (2012), '' Supplications of the Last Gyrosophist'' (2013) and ''Tungasht'' (2018), were met with enthusiasm by parts of the musical community. History Between his beginnings in 2000 and first official releases in 2010, the composer of Abu Lahab's music worked under various pseudonyms. Starting in 2007, he began issuing a number of demo releases under the name Abu Lahab, including ''The Blac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Industrial Music
Industrial music is a genre of music that draws on harsh, mechanical, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes. AllMusic defines industrial music as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music" that was "initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments (tape music, musique concrète, white noise, synthesizers, sequencers, etc.) and punk provocation". The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by members of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza. While the genre name originated with Throbbing Gristle's emergence in the United Kingdom, artists and labels vital to the genre also emerged in the United States and other countries. The first industrial artists experimented with noise and aesthetically controversial topics, musically and visually, such as fascism, sexual perversion, and the occult. Prominent industrial musicians include Throbbing Gristle, Monte Cazazza, SPK, Boyd Rice, Cabaret Voltaire, and Z'E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
