A Spectre is Haunting the World

by Wheelfall

supported by

通り魔 Industrial atmosludge; taking the pummeling of industrial but adding some Neurosis flair to stop it from getting boring. Well-constructed and surprisingly restrained; the only blast section on the album comes as a highlight. When was the last time THAT happened? Favorite track: SEX / OBLIVION / SEX.

bcb723 Conceptually brilliant, intricately constructed and expertly played. I really can't get enough of Wheelfall's consistent ability to raise the bar from album to album. I think the term that comes to mind each time I hear this cycle of songs is psychologically heavy: the music matches the concept. Fabien W. Furter is kind of an under the radar visionary badass. Just listen to "Glasrew Point," "The Atrocity Reports" and this album in order. Quite the artistic achievement that should be recognized. Favorite track: Amplitude Death.

sepulbox Wow... 'A Spectre...' is a really savage album that turned one of my bright summer mornings into urban / tribal nightmare (an interesting kind of nightmare). I was afraid that album will be weaker than predecessors but it found it's own niche in Wheelfall discography. Overall, an excellent job! I wonder what material will be on a next album... Favorite track: SEX / OBLIVION / SEX.

Darknight Disturbing concept album about humanity and WOW!,its a masterpiece of nightmarish sounds of a new heaviness that needs to be heard. Wheelfall have constructed the album of all albums,so prepare to scare yourself. Favorite track: Cold & Pure.

Cheveu Miracle Wheelfall are back and this new album shows the same power, maturity and song-writing qualities we've already had the pleasure to hear on their previous effort (The Atrocity Reports).
Be sure to experience the whole concept by grabbing the limited artists-fanzine edition AND by spending dedicated time on the lyrical content, because Wheelfall goes deeper than the musical layers!

$ CD 💿 + LP ⚫ + Fanzine Favorite track: Wisdom is More Erotic When Wasted.

You'll get the goosebumps as you feel the impeding doom of those Smiths semi-covers. They make Morrissey sound like a badly beaten vacuum cleaner while Johnny Marr's strumming his guitar with his nose thus drinking his own blood. The last song is probably an unapologetic plea in favor of the death penalty for the french teachers in Minessota. Is it by chance that this album came out just before the Capitole invasion? I don'k know, as I wait for the physical release to listen to it. Favorite track: Perverse Technology.

about

'A Specter is Haunting the World' is a concept album that was built around an idea: to put human beings back at the center. Of society, of music. With its flaws which make all its magnificence. That's why it appears necessary to grip to reality, whether tough or fortunate, to not being out of our depth in a world that has become so artificial, ruled by productivity and the market laws.
'A Specter is Haunting the World' will be accompanied by a fanzine in which 8 visual artists have completely freely adapted the 8 tracks that compose it.
From songwriting to production, including the desire for independence, everything in this album comes under this search for reality.

Synopsis:
Imagine that you feel so tired that you want to put an end to everything. Although you are a quiet citizen, you've grown fed up, feeling a bitter of dereliction... The feeling that you are shackled forever, with no hope for better days. The sensation of progressing painfully without headlights in a tunnel with no emergency exits nor nightlights. Having decided to take action, you then ask yourself the question of the person or persons responsible for this spoliation. Who are the authorities and people who shut down hope and light to take full credit? Who benefits from this true social injustice if not the bosses and their institutions? Those who swear only by profit?!

This is the reasoning of the hero of the concept album 'A Spectre is Haunting the World', an ordinary man who, pushed to the limit, turns his suicidal impulses against global capitalism, overnight. Soon after he decided to rid society of this scourge, he elects as his first target its greatest representative: the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, and for modus operandi a live execution, facing the whole world.

20 minutes, it's the duration indicated by the countdown of the bomb he has just placed, holding his knife firmly on him. Is he going to act, with no possibility to go back to his old life? 20 minutes is also an interval for the memories that come back... A time that each track of the album proposes to dilate and detail, in order to tell what can lead a man like any other to want to commit the irredeemable.
The story of an ordinary demon who refuses to die.

Loved
by KEN mode

Honestly, one of my favorite albums of the decade. The music is crushing and bleak Noise-Rock, with a Metal side and sometimes a deranged saxophone. The artwork is absolutely stunning. Wheelfall

Released this year, I spin this album really often: at parties, at home... Sort of modern new-wave/electronic, this is music that can make you dance, but can also make you think: perfect! Wheelfall

THE RAGING RIVER
by Cult of Luna

supported by 14 fans who also own “A Spectre is Haunting the World”

Par rapport au monstrueux A Dawn to Fear, The Raging River est un album qui paraît presque raisonnable. Sauf qu’il est dans la continuité de Cult of Luna, c’est-à-dire pas raisonnable du tout. Comme bande-son de fin du monde, il se pose un peu là: à l’instar de son titre, il va balloter l’auditeur entre cailloux, troncs arrachés et débris divers.
