Ancient Methods is reviving his eponymous label for the first time since 2013 on 21st September with the release of his debut LP ‘The Jericho Records’. Intended to act as a “prequel” of sorts to the seven conceptual and biblically themed releases that preceded it, ‘The Jericho Records’ features 14-tracks of typically ferocious, enveloping and noisy techno. The album contains several guest features including dark experimental artist Prurient, Regis, King Dude, Cindytalk, Orphx. For pretty much the first time we really hear Michael Wollenhaupt the sole serving member of Ancient Methods really stretch his legs in all directions, with results ultimately ranking as perhaps the definitive industrial techno album of its generation. Biblical in concept and scale, ‘The Jericho Records’ takes the world’s oldest, longest inhabited city as muse for a incredible showcase of futurist/primitive rhythm and sound, melding Michael’s trademark so-stiff-it’s-fuucking-funky-as-fuck drum patterns with a much broader range of instrumentation and voices than any previous AM release. To get down to business, DJs and dancers need to clock the highlights in the cataclysmic shock of ‘Twelve Stones to Divide Jordan’s Sand’, as well as the bare-faced rage of ‘The House of Rahab’, the searing ‘Crack and Collapse In The Storm of Lights’, and the incendiary payload of ‘Omen’s Duty’ or the appearance of Prurient on the trampling thunder of ‘Walking on Cursed Soil’. But we’d be remiss to overlook the moments of contrast in the Arabic EBM mutation of ‘Array The Troops’ featuring synths from Regis; the Muslimgauze-like meld of whirling percussion and horns in ‘The City Awakes’; or the clashing scimitars of ‘Swordplay’; while ‘The Seven Shofars’ and ‘In Silence’ impressively attest to AM’s unrepentant obsession with darkest, ritual ambient electronics. Just hoof it all down and ask questions later. Comes In Luxury Triple Gatefold Packaging Incl.
