Maggot Mass

Description

Maggot Mass, Pharmakon's fifth album on Sacred Bones Records, marks the project's return after a five-year hiatus. This album breaks away from the original rules and structures Margaret Chardiet established for Pharmakon, evolving into a new form. It retains the project's experimental roots in power electronics and noise, while incorporating industrial and punk influences. The album stems from a deep disgust with humanity's dysfunctional relationship with the environment and other life forms. It explores the loneliness resulting from this broken connection and challenges us to recognize our personal and systemic responsibility. Here, Pharmakon envisions a path where the final act is to return what we have taken from creation, offering our lives and deaths to sustain existence. For fans of Puce Mary, Prurient, Genocide Organ, The Body, Wolf Eyes, Uniform, Dreamcrusher, Blu Anxxiety, Kollaps, Lana del Rabies.
