With their new EP, ATLiens have stumbled upon the horrors of an unforgiving area cult.
Released at this time on Insomniac’s Bassrush Records, Space Cathedral is a five-track EP that includes a number of the enigmatic duo’s most haunting music so far. The file leans closely into their thrilling, exploratory idea and introduces a heavy mix of experimental bass.
Before the discharge of Space Cathedral, the masked tandem tweeted out a hyperlink to “jointhespacecult.com,” which contained an encrypted message and a warning on the high of the web page: “YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE.” Tasking followers with deciphering the contents of the message and discovering the password wanted to proceed, the chilling environment created by the duo served as a not-so-subtle warning in regards to the contents of the EP.

Giant footsteps stomp and shake the bottom as cries of extraterrestrial creatures echo all through the introduction of Space Cathedral. A whirring, mechanical bassline clashes with spacey sounds within the banging titular monitor.
The subsequent two, “Obsidian Vortex” and “Purgatory,” function chopped-up vocal samples that really feel like a sermon from the area cult chief. The former is a clicking frenzy that mimics the sound of a xenomorph whereas the latter brings in SVDDEN DEATH to ship a rattling bass drop that sends shockwaves all through.
“Blue Skies /// Crazy” is a brooding, theatrical piece break up into two distinct sections. Here, ATLiens use a transmission from Earth to transition from a staticky explosion of bass to a extra melodic sound with celestial vocals. This development is sustained on the EP’s nearer, “comingforyou,” rounding it out with one other uplifting file.
