'Organic Traces' is the result of the explosive collaboration of this London trio. The album opens
on 'Red Drum', a track with a hardcore rhythm set to a background of screeches and words that are
declaimed in a rather tribal way... the tone is set... we will be given to listen a record full of
energy, percussions, tribal power... alternated with more ritual passages such as the second track
'Faultline', lead by a slower and repetitive rhythm, where the vocals are whispered...
All in all, an album that will shake the persons confined to a single genre and that will receive
the favours of an audience adept of extreme, chaotic music, be it tribal, ritual, post-apocalyptic...
or even post-atomic! Knifeladder definitely places itself beyond/on the confines of any genre!
A record that proves, if it was necessary, the dynamism and the quality of the current London
industrial-experimental scene, expressed by the various projects of the Operative Records label that is
spearheaded by Knifeladder and Shining Vril alongside, amongst others, Naevus, Leisurehive...
