Spooky, atmospheric, music ideal for dark & stormy nights

"Death House is very much an atypical Attrition release. Originally recorded as a background cassette to the Night of the Living Dead based role playing game Death House (the This.. was added to the title when it got a CD release), the game was never released (shame, as it was very playable) but the music fortunately was. Orginally a cassette only release on seminal UK label Adventures in Reality, it was later re-issued on Seattle label Projeckt.The CD itself consists of two long analogue electronic tracks, Crawling and Dead of night (originally separate sides of the cassette release). Both are broody and dark, building the tension up slowly & remisiscent in places of SPK circa Information Overload Unit. The undercurrent of unease lingers long after the CD has finished.Certainly music to read horror fiction to and those into DnD or Resident Evil style games would do well to check this one out."

"This piece is based around dark sound-scape samples. It's beautifully dark and atmospheric. A great album to take a walk into the cemetery with."
