Bizarre Uproar
"Dekadenz".
DEKADENZ is BIZARRE UPROAR's 88 to a newly evolved faith which cold-hearted anabolic destructive order - seethe to excrete protracted violent bereavement and terror - far beyond any imaginable perverse fetishism. Now, evangelized under the blacken banner of a double-negative yin-yang symbol, Bizarre Uproar emerge from the shadows as a decadent rubber-clad hangman with sadistic inclinations and strong inherent death drive. The previously expressed predatory psycho-sexual cause is no longer exclusively dedicated pleasure carnage and death ritualization, but furthered to include a dire calculating purist-revisionist discriminatory zeal, which worship the deterioration of society and the individual through excessive acts of domination by violence - be it mental or physical. Bizarre Uproar is birthed from the sick and anti-social mind of Markkula.
Dekadenz is Markkula's shrine to the key influences and blood ties that has diseased Bizarre Uproar, beyond its 1992 origin - till today. The album honors private youthful inspirations to adult noxious agendas; and is presented to the listening fanatic as an intricate relic assemblage which total altarpiece morph between: Triumphant decadent orgy, slow crushing anti-social terror and self-annihilation crave. Dekadenz contains four slow, torturous traumas. In total, clocking over 40 minutes of high-volume recorded music which emanate: Serrated frequency assaults and thunderous rhythmic bombardment - to coffined disquieting auras. Bizarre Uproar's wrecked and raspy vocal abuse is entombed within the audio-tonnage, and reeks of manic fist to throat hatred. The album contains strictly composed material with a determined sense of long-play continuity. Heavy damaging sound with piquant seductive lure and trenching riff-samples ripped from Finnish hard core / punk / metal bands Eristetyt and Damage. Ravenlord (Woods Of Infinity) and skin-head fiend Hjerpe provide additional icy vocal support on tracks 'Alistusakti' plus 'Vaurio'.
The album title - Dekadenz - carries a double meaning. It signifies Bizarre Uproar's stance anno 20-16; and pays homage to the '80s Helsinki punk shop 'Dekadenz', where Markkula was a frequent john while young and under the bode of Finnish underground bands: Eristetyt, Damage and Terveet Kädet. The store boarder-lined between S&M sex shop and punk paraphernalia retailer, and housed a fitting room decorated with rubber sex implements, religious images and a black strap-on dildo. The scene, and its hang-around slutty-sweet punk chicks fixed an irrevocable imprint on the lad: A lifelong allegiance to filth and violence was pledged.
To fully understand Bizarre Uproar's concept of Dekadenz, we have to look towards the artistic Decadent movement of the 19th-Century and one of its allies, writer Charles Baudelaire. He and Markkula share a common affiliation in Baudelaire's founding stance. Specifically, 'The rejection of moral restrictions and the confine of conformist society'. In BU's case, the factor is closely linked with own hate agendas slash manipulative humiliating pleasures; and how these components are driven into the physical world beyond perverse degenerative solution - towards a distorted form of Caligula'ian tyrannical excess - in which the 3rd Reich's concentration camp dominatrix Ilse Koch is a lasciviously iconic example. Understand: Watching a stranger fucking your wife, rubber & leather seduction, excrement orgy with several females, piss-play waterboarding, digestive vomit/scat torture, a punk chick's saliva - her black pegg cock... Are all sexual decadent gratifying activities - but, first and foremost - unethical strategies of war; utilized to inflict terror, damage and gain subversive control.
The Finnish theatre group Jumalan Teattri (Theatre of God) issued similar tactics during a 1987 theatre performance in Oulu, Finland. The asphyxiating closing cut on Dekadenz - 'Damage' - features an excerpt of this scandalous performance, and report an audience fleeing in terror and pain while being physical attacked by a naked Jumalan Teattri cast armed with: Whips, discharging fire extinguishers - and a hurling chaotic reign of feces, eggs, yogurt and popcorn hall bombs. While most of the unwitting guests were able to escape without contracting severe bodily harm, a few visitors had to be hospitalized due to respiratory problems caused by gas emitted from the bomb explosions. The unprecedented seance was in the aftermath publicly discussed in Finland as a case of generation rebellion, repulsive cultural terror and artistic ritual suicide. To this day, Bizarre Uproar continue to harvest inspiration from Jumalan Teattri's resolute artistic dedication and willingness to push frontiers by use of brute force. Dekadenz is a tribute continuation of Jumalan's instinctual practice, and a knife into the heart of contemporary society. The whip of all beasts is cracking down!
Dekadenz was recorded and mixed by Bizarre Uproar in the BU-bunker throughout 2015. Ravenlord and Hjerpe's contributions were eternalized at Belgian pedophile serial killer Marc Dutroux's private Marcinelle residence slash victim-warehouse, and inside an undisclosed children play-park cabin neighboring a mental institution. Dekadenz is mastered by SS-Pekka.
The release features specially commissioned photographic art-work from Finnish artist JUKKA SIIKALA. A LP-version of Dekadenz is to be announced on label VIVA ANGEL PRESS.
