VIOLENT ARP is exactly what the name implies. This 6-song mini LP is crammed with wild and diabolical ARP Odyssey sludge riffs, earth-shaking 808s and tough, surreal vocals all grounded firmly in a hard rocking sensibility. Carelessly welding ultra-minimal techno to vintage hard rock excess, MAGAS comes barreling toward you like some kind of burning train-wreck of Robert Hood and Sir Lord Baltimore. Whether it's the unhinged leads on "Cool American", the howling mid-tempo stomp'n'sway of "Statue" or the re-imaged version of COUCH's "Devil Is Flying", you are guaranteed to hear nothing but VIOLENT ARP. Following in the footsteps of Niccolo Paganini and his demonic violin, MAGAS has unrepentantly claimed the ARP Odyssey 2800 Mk I as his instrument of destruction.
