The album is mainly an instrumental journey that features many new artists. It’s dark, moody and experimental, and explores the genres of electronica, trip hop, breakbeat, industrial.
Derelict State Records has been amazing for ALLFLAWS. Releasing many records and allowing complete creative freedom.
This track is about how us humans make perpetual wars with ourselves. We tear ourselves down and treat our own minds as the enemy. I find it shocking and sad how f…..king cruel people can be to themselves, but yet be so good to others. With mental illness being a focus in society right now this track taps into that subject matter and delves into the human condition.
It is a exploration of the existential crisis that has hit many people in society. Why is this happening???? And what should we do to combat it ???? I have my own ideas and thoughts but lets leave that to another discussion. Personally I haven’t ever suffered from depression but that does not mean I am not aware of the darkness and treachery of the human psyche. I have just managed somehow someway navigate through the matrix and keep the demons at bay and my mind on track. Maybe I should write about my own personal techniques and habits for another post. I could do this but I don’t want to sound like some pretentious f…….king life coach lol.
The track is inspired by industrial music, industrial hip hop, jungle, breakbeat, trip hop and spoken word.
A dark and brooding journey into the world of instrumental beats and soundscapes
This is the full GHOSTRUMENTALS instrumental album. The tracks are all taken from the entire ALLFLAWS back catalogue with four brand new tracks included. It is a documentation of the instrumental music of ALLFLAWS and something different from vocals always being there in the mix.
I wanted an album which just solely focused on sounds and production. Like a kind of dark cinematic journey. I want to do a series of these albums to celebrate the instrumental music of ALLFLAWS. So that being said, part two will be coming out in the future. So stay tuned for that.
The music and production is once again inspired by industrial music, trip hop, dub, electronica, breakbeat, hip hop, dark electro, drone, trap and more
Enjoy

Mixing up influences from industrial, trip hop, rap and electronica
This track explains the last 20 years of my life lol. Late late nights, hedonism, escapism and the whole ritualistic experience of getting off your head. I’m a classic binge person when it comes to this. The rest of the time I actually work out, eat healthy and really look after myself. However there is a small window that is available for me to go through to enjoy the craziness and freedom of late nights out. That window is WHEN LUNA COMES.
The music is inspired by industrial music and particularly the edge and grit of Nine Inch Nails. I’ve also once again merged in some trip hop, industrial hip hop and electronica influences. This is all topped off by a kind of spoken word type rap with a little bit of singing to add some soul. I haven’t got the best voice but I will try bits of singing to add dynamics to the tracks.
The video is sliced and diced, glitchy and layered. Kind of giving the impression of things being distorted and slightly broken. The red liquid represents the hedonistic potion to get you to that place.
