Ancient Methods, The Jericho Records Ancient Methods 2018

Ancient Methods is reviving his eponymous label for the first time since 2013 on 21st September with the release of his debut LP The Jericho Records. Intended to act as a prequel of sorts to the seven conceptual and biblically themed releases that preceded it, The Jericho Records features 14tracks of typically ferocious, enveloping and noisy techno. The album contains several guest features including dark experimental artist Prurient, Regis, King Dude, Cindytalk, Orphx. For pretty much the first time we really hear Michael Wollenhaupt a. k. a the sole serving member of Ancient Methods really stretch his legs in all directions, with results ultimately ranking as perhaps the definitive industrial techno album of its generation. Biblical in concept and scale, The Jericho Records takes the worlds oldest, longest inhabited city as muse for a incredible showcase of futurist, primitive rhythm and sound, melding Michaels trademark sostiffitsfuuckingfunkyasfuck drum patterns
