Industrial dub powerhouse Andrew Nolan links with JK FLESH for brash drum & bass throwback

"The Skriker of Yorkshire" signals imminent arrival of Nolan's new album, Black Dogs

No stranger to the world of industrial noise, Toronto-based Andrew Nolan has been especially prolific lately, producing a slew of notable solo work alongside collaborations with artists like Refused, Full of Hell and The Body.

His latest, Black Dogs, continues his singular vision of hip-hop-informed industrial dub. Amidst the menacing crescendo of dread, beat, and bass-heavy tracks is standout "The Skriker of Yorkshire" featuring JK FLESH, aka Justin K Broadrick of GODFLESH and jesu.

Distorted, fast-paced breaks kick things off as Nolan's recordings of junk metal give way to breakdowns of an ominous Mellotron choir—an intentional nod to jesu's ”Heart Ache.” The song expertly morphs into a superb throwback to the glory days of drum & bass with everything you'd expect: crisp snares, neck-snappingly precise breaks, and sub-bass for days.

 

"Despite appearing on multiple records together, Justin and I have only collaborated on one track previously. Much of the direction for ‘Skriker’ came from late night conversations about the UK breakbeat hardcore scene we were both avid followers of in the early 90s. The idea was to use hardware samplers to completely degrade Justin's material, then rebuild it entirely, keeping the bass intact and chopping overdriven breaks for momentum." - Andrew Nolan


In English folklore, the Skriker is one of many incarnations of the black dog faery hound, its name is derived from the word screech. Its loud shrieking announces imminent death to those that hear it.


The next in GIVE/TAKE and Avalanche Recordings’ collaborative series, Andrew Nolan's Black Dogs incorporates industrial dub, hip-hop, drum & bass and downtempo electronic with assistance from JK FLESH, Metalheadz artist Gremlinz, and Sectra, and was mastered by Justin K Broadrick. Black Dogs arrives on limited CD/cassette, and digital on Friday, October 9th.
