Banned From Camp Skin Tension is a rare act that you stumble upon once a decade if you're lucky. And I was lucky enough to discover them live at a dive bar in July 2023 in Nashville. This record is everything.

Matten In the same vein as Machinic Impulses, which I loved. I think I like this even more. Favorite track: Humboldt.

dyingstarsinmyeyes A spiritual odyssey into a psychedelic, abstract hell of mere contemplative animal existence... Deeply rewarding for the open-minded listener.

Stagger I'm still digesting Omni then this comes along. This gets sicker with each listen.That;'s right I said it.Now go get it. Favorite track: Humboldt.

about

ST5:
Celebrant is a potent and intense journey that takes the listener on a spiritual mission through the hazy depths of the Earthly realm. Building on the sonic foundations laid by Machinic Impulses of the Hyperreal, Celebrant incorporates new elements that elevate Skin Tension's sound to even greater heights.
The resulting sound is faster, tighter, and more dynamically varied while pushing the unflinching ferocity to new extremes.
That being said, this is the most approachable Skin Tension album to date, but remember;
This is Skin Tension.
No compromises.
(
Celebrant is Skin Tension's most composed album to date, featuring exclusively prewritten material; no completely improvised tracks. Minimal takes, minimal edits, minimal gear, maximum expression.

Úpal
by Kostnatění

supported by 14 fans who also own “Celebrant”

A harrowing and driving journey of emotion, expertly dashing between dissonance and powerful consonance (as another person said) in a way that takes you on a scary-yet-smooth journey through ripping thorn thickets and out into a blessedly open clearing, before plunging you back into the thicket in your mad dash. The concept is rock solid, the non-Western scales are refreshing and are excellently hammered into both dissonant and non-dissonant moods, the songwriting is very well crafted. pinkytheent
