A French experimental extreme music collective going by the moniker of Non Serviam (“I will not serve” in Latin) is definitely not going to fit into any easy genre category. On their latest single, “Victory to Kali,” taken from their upcoming third full-length, La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine, they blenderize ear-scrape black metal with an unrelenting industrial blast beat and top it off with some larynx-destroying vokills from Mirai Kawashima of Sigh. You get a full blast of extreme noise terror in a quick three minute explosion.
La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine is set for release on CD, vinyl, cassette and digitally via Lay Bare Recordings on June 12. Place your preorder here and here.
The band had this to say about the track and the accompanying video:
“After writing some lyrics inspired by Ramprasad Sen’s poems and a few riffs inspired by destruction and chaos, we reached out to Mirai from Sigh to ask him to contribute to the track. To us, he’s a guiding figure, one of our major inspirations, a true genius, and a legendary presence in the extreme music scene we love. In just a few days, everything was wrapped up thanks to Mirai’s efficiency, and we can’t thank him enough for his effectiveness and talent.
Depictions of Kali are fascinating; their freedom and their joyful yet destructive deviance call for dance, for she herself always seems to be dancing. That is why we filmed this music video over the course of nine months, as our dancer Ilse (from the duo Pourchasse Carcasse, who dances to our music live and in our videos) went through her pregnancy. Kali frees us from the fear of destruction, which is the true beginning of emancipation, since behind all powers there is always the threat that disobeying them will lead to oblivion, barbarism, hell, or something else; thus, freeing oneself from the fear of destruction is opening the path to emancipation.”
