Rosemary Malign

..Review: KH/Waste Combat 12/01/2007
I've always seen Rosemary as the logical end-conclusion of what popular music is/was. Thematically she operates at the most primal level, which is what really good music does anyway. I had a conversation with Rev. Chris Korda of the Church of Euthanasia several years ago. He had a side project, a techno band, really bad. He just totally missed the mark with it. I explained to him my theory of what the apocalypse would sound like (coincidentally it sounds like Rosemary Malign's work) but he couldn't grasp the discordant beauty inherent in a lack of rhythm or percussion pattern, the honesty in sensory overload, when musical constructs, musical models are burned down. The notion of what music is; turned upside down. The notion of what rhythm is; turned inside out. The idea of what is aesthetically pleasing; bastardized. Rosemary has an intrinsic understanding of this, albeit perhaps an unconscious one. Thematically, lyrically she's just as clear and unwavering as Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters: physical, invigorating, direct and instinctual. Nothing like her exists. Not Whitehouse, with their flair for the sensational, or Boyd Rice, with his morbid Satanism, or even the Eugenics Council.
Review From Device to Mimic the Patient/Smell the Rott:
"Like a machine gun spitting an endless stream of vitriol and disgust, Rosemary actually delivers everything that other "extreme electronic" acts promise. A scathing condemnation of everything held to be self evident by the mainstream and the so-called fringe alike. Not satisfied (or stupid enough) to regurgitate the same ideals that have failed again and again, it shanks traditional gender politics in the gut, twists the knife all the way to the top, and holds the glistening viscera up to the light. Shreds lazy notions of self like so many scraps of paper. This is the sound of hate in its purest form. Frantic like cockroaches scattering for shelter, like bodies dropping on college campuses. Rabid like the world that gave it a home. Not the snide contempt of the bourgeois nor the reactionary nonsense of the activist. This is hate. Cold, ferocious, unrelenting, fucking hate."
