“The universe is a cold, vast space where existence is objectively meaningless. Any meaning that we have in our own lives is our own creation. So, care deeply, respect life, and try to appreciate what you can’t control. Because nothing matters anyway, except what we decide”. This is the underlying message behind “Dust On A Razorblade”… “Writing these songs have helped me in my own life, and I hope listening to them can help someone else too”, adds Chamberlin.

Sonically, this may be the most accessible and listenable ENTRZELLE album so far. The American artist decidedly kept the experimentation to a minimum, instead focusing on songwriting and production. The tone is darker and the songs are more direct, set in characteristic ENTRZELLE sound worlds that are more developed than ever. David’s vocals are also more intimate and poignant, carrying us through a modern cinematic spiral of emotions accompanied by upbeat electro sequences and addictive noisy disturbing synth pop melodies. And this stylistic evolution definitely works and results in a bunch of addictive sing-along synth pop tunes with an edge!

Strikingly vulnerable with a heart-on-sleeve quality, this is a lush 12-track album full of top notch synth industrial, plus 4 bonus remixes by label companions in the likes of PSY’AVIAH, REICHSFEIND, ELEKTROSTAUB and DJ Simon Carter.

This is noir future pop with an edge that comes highly recommended to fans of ROTERSAND, COVENANT, SEABOUND, IMPERATIVE REACTION, AESTHETIC PERFECTION, VNV NATION, etc.

The EP features the single “Feeling Heavy These Days”, complete with an alternate club version and remixes by living legends AESTHETISCHE and NEIKKA RPM. The EP also reveals two more new songs “Let Me Be A Memory” in a dramatic remix by LLUMEN, and an original remix of “Tax On Modern Life”. The new songs represent a thematic departure for ENTRZELLE. Whereas previous releases tend to focus on violence, anger, social and environmental problems, and other themes of darkness and despair, the new material is more interested in hope and perseverance. Relying strongly on honest personal reflection, the result is strikingly vulnerable with a heart-on-sleeve quality. “Feeling Heavy These Days” was written during a time of deep personal struggle for the artist, and initially materialized as a passive byproduct of therapy long before becoming a single. The song deals with being lost in life and feeling like you’ve reached a dead end, while being paralyzed by forces beyond your control. When you reach the end of the road with nothing left to follow, do you give up? Do you turn back? Or do you find a new path forward?

The EP also introduces a stylistic evolution. In contrast to the complex, experimental, and IDM-inspired sound of previous albums, the new material has been distilled down to deliver a more cohesive, straightforward, and visceral experience for the listener. David’s vocals sound more intimate and poignant than ever and carry us in a modern filmic spiral of emotions accompanied by upbeat electro sequences and addictive noisy disturbing synth pop melodies.

This is noir future pop with an edge that comes highly recommended to fans of ROTERSAND, COVENANT, SEABOUND, IMPERATIVE REACTION, AESTHETIC PERFECTION, VNV NATION, etc.

Uncompromisingly individualistic, ENTRZELLE continue true to form to deliver their latest magnum opus, “Total Progressive Collapse”. An album that represents the culmination of 3 years of dedicated work and introspection, and that aims to convey a traditional album feel through story-telling, dynamic expression, and performance nuances. The songs build and support one another in a way that takes the listener on a complete musical experience, and the music is recorded in such a way to allow as much variety and freedom as possible – this means heavy automation in the instruments and unique repeated performances (rather than cut/paste) in the vocals, among other techniques. Harsh sounds and pounding beats are in full force, but are harnessed to support the songs rather than asphyxiate them. ENTRZELLE’s music is unique, daring electronic music that pushes the boundaries between form and disorder, tranquility and rage… in a violent and merciless return to storytelling through noise and color. 

“Total Progressive Collapse” explores a range of intensity, from thunderous anthems (“Power Play”, “Creature”, the club hit “Compatible With My Intoxication”) to the most vulnerable of love songs (“Chloroform Suicide”). Other highlights include the pop-friendly and very emotional “Secondary To My Love,” and “Stormchaser,” a very personal song that flings the listener out to orbit and back, in a delicious and insatiable aural molestation. 

ENTRZELLE is not interested in spreading terror, disorder, misperceptions, or provoking the listener for its own sake. They insist to explore subjects and environments as honestly and fairly as possible. There exist real problems in this world – police abuse, climate change, socio-economic warfare, a depletion of dignity that is in correlation to economic advancement, and a critical collapse of character throughout the status quo. Rather than crying out or reacting against, “Total Progressive Collapse” faces these subjects head-on to either offer solutions or find the beauty in the wreckage… Epic and political, sexy and driving, dynamic and colorful, ENTRZELLE is the explosive cinematic industrial project of David Chamberlin and his partner in crime Malice Vext, a rising band that comes highly recommended to fans of ROTERSAND, COVENANT, VNV NATION, IMPERATIVE REACTION, SEABOUND, MESH, etc. They are an attack on the soul, a reset button, a personal vendetta for a global cause! 

This limited deluxe carton box edition includes the 13-track album “Under The Glass” which contains several exclusive original bonus songs, but also features powerful remixes by CONSUMER JUNK, VENAL FLESH, ANGEL THEORY, CUTOFF:SKY, and AVARICE IN AUDIO. Unlike some double-LP’s, “Under The Glass” is intended to compliment the title disc, instead of functioning as purely a remix disc. You will discover a further exploration of themes in addition to complementary perspectives by these world class artists.

Other bonus tracks include remixes from the self-released Biotic Shift EP (2013), all re-recorded, re-mixed and remastered. Neither strictly dance, nor cerebral art, this album offers a kaleidoscopic exploration into the themes that incite human reaction and value – such as social justice, economic equality, and intimate relationships – all the while returning to the notion that everything material in our world is temporary. The album asserts the belief that true life exists infinitely in the cosmos, and the human world is only a bridge to which it can connect and capture our attention.

The word “movement” in the title alludes to the cosmic movement of life throughout the universe, and implies that we must accept our own mortal powerlessness in order to experience infinity. ENTRZELLE stands for explosive cinematic industrial with a melodic edge…

This album is only available as a download (see player below).
