The first-ever vinyl reissue of Atrax Morgue’s seminal album Death-Orgasm Connector, originally released in 2003 by Slaughter Productions, encapsulates the raw essence of Marco Corbelli’s power electronics, melding harsh noise with industrial undertones and dark synth-electronics, solidifying Atrax Morgue’s place in the experimental music landscape.

From the very first track, I Kill Sex (Again), listeners are thrust into a visceral experience defined by Corbelli’s staticky rasps and eerie sci-fi synth notes. Each subsequent composition unfurls like a chilling soundtrack to existential terrors, culminating in a bleak exploration of themes that echo throughout the album. With ten tracks playing as a cohesive narrative, Death-Orgasm Connector captures a uniquely haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the final note. Corbelli’s compositions are characterized by their sparse arrangements and an evocative exploration of singular ideas, sometimes revisited until their essence is fully extracted. The standout title track, Death-Orgasm Connector, showcases Corbelli’s vocal prowess and synthesis reaching intense climaxes, punctuated by a jarring bass drum that cuts through the sonic murk. Tracks like A Nasty Trick employ high-pitched drones, overlaid with Corbelli’s unsettling laughter, painting a picture that is as disturbing as it is compelling—a juxtaposition of humor and horror. His vocal stylings range from articulate language to feral, almost animalistic expressions, immersing listeners in a chaotic soundscape reminiscent of a nightmare. The harsh noise is not merely an aesthetic choice but a vehicle for thematic exploration—sexuality, violence, and the grotesque intersections they inhabit.
