Atrax Morgue - Close To A Corpse download mp3 flac

Among the vast catalogue that Corbelli allowed himself to produce during his life, there are certain works that remain certainly representative, this work in particular reflects an unique moment in his intent to catalize his deadly demons live and he quite reflected some manifestation that is peculiar and distinctive from the rest of his discography.

During Corbelli´s musical production we can detect a pattern, his obsession with death, perhaps reflected as his own "Todeswunsch", his work is an anticipation towards his own inner wish of dying, which eventually he accomplished outside the artistic expression. In a way we can see Corbelli´s works as a repetitive act of self destruction, an evocation of physical death conceived in and out aural manifestations but ambivalent between a masochistic intent or an externalization in the manner of killing wish (sadistic expression).

Corbelli always manifested his need to summon his feelings and thoughts into his music as they appeared, very vivid and unkind, in a way he always wanted to emotively express sentiments, the kind that no one wants to show or even dare to feel, the set of his most negative emotions. This is one of the reasons on why this work is particularly interesting. The almost three hours this live expedition goes, allow us to perceive not just the genious behind Corbelli insanity but his ability to bring his spirits to life via improvisation. The other reason is because in here he diverged from pure noise and went into more synthetic tonalities and atmospheric disgression, showing his most profound work, reaching further into experiencing his "vision".

He was able to make an outstanding use of analogue synths, pulsating tones and low to high pitched tonalities blending a bewildering atmosphere of hellish epiphany, in a way the very synthesis from all his works in just own play without sounding boring or monotonous, indeed not for the faint of heart as usual and completely different from the rest of his catalogue where the harshness and compulsive disorders are more patent and less interesting. Comparatively, we may think of the band Goblin, going way more experimental and uneasy, entering into the darkest corridors of sado-masochism and death wish expressed as a musical opus.

It is for this reason that would be fantasticaly morbid to re-release this release as its one of the best if not the best Atrax Morgue creation.
