Nymphomatriarch

Hecate’s Rachael Kozak has a thing with collaborations. She paired up earlier this year with Lustmord’s Brian Williams on Law Of The Battle Of Conquest, a visceral, percussive revision of Lustmord’s drone aesthetic. Now she’s shacking up with Venetian Snares’ Aaron Funk. Literally. Nymphomatriarch, a joint project between Venetian Snares and Hecate, is 100% composed of sounds the duo made having sex together. But it’s not porno music. Nymphomatriarch is cutting-edge drill beats and raucous noise that puts your ears in a vice. The tempestuous breaks Venetian Snares is known for spiral down to the very pits of hell and back thanks to Hecate’s visceral atmospheric treatments, returning as mordant sound meant to corrode the soul.

Nymphomatriarch just happens to be made from sex sounds. Nymphomatriarch employs the noise of anal and oral sex, straightforward copulation, “microphone insertion” and other privately recorded debaucheries committed while Venetian Snares and Hecate were on tour together in Europe and Canada.
