Industrial/glam act Terminal has released an album of instrumentals, The Hush Of Cannons Cold, on Metropolis Records. The first seven tracks on it have previously appeared as brief interludes across the previous two albums by the South African group but have been remixed and developed into full-length pieces by collaborators who represent a variety of acts from across the industrial, EBM and darkwave scenes: Flesh Field, iVardensphere, Stahlschlag, Evestus, Spankthenun, Railwrx and Searching For Survivors.
The act also included an all-new track, "From The River To The Sea [Palestine Will Be Free]", a relentless miasma of mystical Eastern scales and punishing industrial beats that close out the album.
The results are stylistically diverse, from slamming club tracks to neo-classical musings. "More than one artist expressed that this was a unique challenge for them", states Terminal's head, Thomas Mark Anthony. "In many cases, the first thing a remixer does is delete everything but the vocal track. With no vocal track, they had to change their approach right out of the gate. They all rose to the challenge."
The album title is from the song "Testify", which appeared on the group's most recent full-length release, The New Republic (2023).
Terminal is the work of singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Mark Anthony, a lifelong anti-apartheid and civil rights activist over a life lived in South Africa, Canada and the USA. His music is the soundtrack to a world unbalanced, reeling, spinning out of control and running out of time, allying industrial music and glam rock with trace quantities of dark techno, synthpop and raw machine recordings. Each Terminal song is a broadside against the atrocities of lost humanity and the devastation of our planet.
David Ross Phillips (drums) and Sonia Weimann (bass/keyboards/vocals) have recently joined Antony (vocals/guitar) for upcoming live performances. Link
