Things To Come Records is the creation of Oliver Chessler who is better known under the alias of The Horrorist. From the very first release now reaching back into the late 90's, the label has remained very underground and low key. The releases themselves are not your run of the mill Techno, more like an avant-garde form of hard electronic compositions that somehow seem to have a distinctive style along the lines of Marc Arcardipane's Planet Core Productions (PCP releases). Chessler's obvious influences maybe German, yet his vocal technique is quite original and unique. The storyline for "One Night In N.Y.C." is told as a demonic bedtime story about teenagers doing ecstasy and going clubbing in New York Niteclubs. Anytime Oliver picks up a microphone, expect the unexpected. Most of his works are a bit extreme and not for the faint hearted, but his output is unique and very entertaining in the right setting. The recent Adam X release again shows the more agitated powernoise industrialism which is a fine example of hard electronics and one that will rip into your soul if not blowing out your speakers in the process. Things To Come does exactly what the name suggests, and that gives the future something to look forward for.....
