Second Coming
©Disaro. US, 2010.
‟Now, let me make this clear: I know next to nothing about Mater Suspiria Vision. They could live next door to me, and I’d have no idea. They could spend their spare time sacrificing goats or children or both, do a ton of acid and ink bloody pentagrams into their foreheads, memorize passages from Aleister Crowley, watch nothing but porn and Dario Argento, and it would make total sense—Second Coming looks and sounds like the bastard product of all those things. It’s Witch House at its deepest and most raw, a real secret hell cult that feels truly dangerous more often than not.
Which is, of course, a Witch House touchstone. Nightmare horror aesthetics and cryptic symbols, unpronounceable band names and song titles, lots of hiding and holding at arm’s length. The music itself is a dead-foot drag—sometimes a slow and burning hip-hop beat, other times crimson-eyed industrial—but Mater Suspiria Vision push these ideas beyond the noticeable limits. You don’t see the strings with them; they’re firmly situated in Witch House territory—right at the center of it, really—but little about their work on Second Coming feels calculated to be such. It’s a legitimately honest art expression of the terrifying shit haunting the dusty corners of our brains: de Xam’s symbolism not just because it’s cool but because it represents any number of mythical ideas.‟
