Listen To Distant Fear's 'A Reminder of Death' + 'Fevered Return'

Launched amidst a flurry of local releases late last week, Tāmaki Makaurau trio Distant Fear's new two track A Reminder of Death 7" will pummel your senses into oblivion and beyond. Repping a formidably abrasive sound not unlike a bomb that never stops exploding, Distant Fear are the musical outpourings of Tim Leth, James Bakker and Alexander Brown — whose dark artistic vision adorns the silk screened sleeves of the vinyl edition. You can experience an eye-popping ten years of Brown's ultra-detailed pointillistic artwork plus immaculately packaged limited physical releases from their Wrought Material imprint (including new editions of Grant Sheridan's mind-bending Cosmic Burnout comic book) and more at their current NOTHING IS LEFT exhibition at K Rd's Monster Valley. Fifty percent of proceeds are being donated to Hospice West in support of people with terminal cancer, you better move fast as the show closes this Thursday...
