KOMMANDO, the alias of dan courtman (aka thorofon), is presenting WAGE OF WRATH - an oppressive sonic force, a nightmarish confinement of sound that embodies the turmoil of the human psyche. death industrial, power electronics and dark ambient are symbiotically combined and encapsulate the raw elements of consciousness - desire, fear, and rage - within a claustrophobic space, where they are subjected to relentless pressure.
the album is a paradox, functioning both as a protective fortress and a self-inflicted prison, reflecting the tension between the need for defense against the external world and the internal wounds that such defenses inflict. within its chaotic structure, WAGE OF WRATH mirrors the internal conflict of the mind, where discordant elements clash violently. the aggressive soundscape is both destructive and cathartic, stirring up the subconscious and exposing repressed emotions. yet, in this infection, there is also a potential for catharsis, a chance to confront and ultimately overcome one's inner demons.
