From the death of an internal set of rules and structures that Chardiet built for Pharmakon at its conception, the project is reborn in a new form: this album marks a notable pivot in sonic, vocal, and lyrical styles for the 17-year project, hearkening to Industrial and Punk while still maintaining its vitriolic and experimental roots in Power Electronics and Noise.
Maggot Mass is bred out of a disgust for the dysfunctional relationship that humans have developed with our environment and the rest of life on earth. It touches on the wounds of loneliness inflicted by that broken bond, and asks us to face the mirror in acknowledgement of our personal and systemic culpability.
