CVLT Nation is psyched to bring you Vol. XCIV of our Sonic Cathedrals series, and the first of our 2nd Anniversary Show lead-up mixtapes, curated by our headliner GEHENNA! Mike Apokalypse has put together a weird mix of epic sound proportions for your upcoming weekend wildness! Check out his intro and the mixtape stream below and download after the jump!
I’m an addict. I’ve been hooked on sounds since I can remember. I catalog sounds, talk about sounds and have spent my life making the sounds I love to hear. I even dream about sounds. It is the one thing that I can’t spend time apart from and I like it all. Yes I said it I like it all. I enjoy hearing beautiful sounds and ugly sounds. The sounds of joy and the sounds of pain both fill me with emotions that are unexplainable. This is why I make music and play music. I want to share my love and my hatred with the world through sound because it is the only thing that makes me feel alive.
I assembled the following Mixtape in a blacked out drunken state last night. I don’t recall recording it and it is almost nothing like the mixtape I’d planned on assembling for Cvlt Nation readers. But when I woke up today and turned on my machines to start making sounds, I saw it on my computer. As I listened back to it I was sort of astonished by how raw it all was. The blends are a choppy and crude. If you’re a music purist (i.e. a boring one-dimensional bozo) the tape will make you sick because the genres of music don’t go together at all. But somehow it sort of works. Anyways, download it, get something to drink, give it a listen, leave a comment and then go check out more sounds by these artists.
