Metal Fracture by Dharma

The crushing sound of industrial heaviness, the inevitable constructions around us, the fractures life brings about (both physical and mental), extreme metal in my youth and coming back to it at this later age, Allan Holdsworth’s Metal Fatigue in 1987 (though nothing musically like that here) and finally, the electric guitar with the joys of fuzz. Hope this helps in experiencing Metal Fracture.

Dharma is the guitarist from Singapore avant rock band The Observatory and also presents his work as a solo improviser and in different configurations with other improvisers. The approach in his playing incorporates extended techniques with various preparations and effects, resulting in percussive and textural sonics that go beyond what one would expect of the instrument.
