2008 release ** Comes in a folded A5 cardboard sleeve. "Accompanying Iron Molar’s second step into noise hell is, like a diabolical Virgil, Peacemaker, a “noisy” project by the drummer of the already noisy Brutal Truth and Total Fucking Destruction. One piece for the Italians, three for the American. It’s a shame that the space reserved for our compatriots is so limited, because Là Dove Vita C’Era I Volti Sembran Teschi In Cera is an excellent piece, marked by a solemn martial beat, which develops between drones and highly distorted vocals: black metal seen through the distorting lenses of harsh noise. Don’t think of a pizza and mandolin version of MZ 412, though: what you find here of black is not so much the grotesque metal stereotype, but the wild and genuinely evil, almost punk, spirit of the beginning. The group (here for the last time as a three-piece) is developing its own personality and is proving to be able to elaborate models fished out of the area, hybridizing noise with healthy toxins. Rick Hoak displays a class that amply justifies the space given to him. The muffled sounds of I Not Pose are disturbing, suggesting the idea of a beast breathing under the surface of the water, ready to emerge; instead nothing happens and the vaguely ecclesiastical organ of A Short But Interesting Message From God leads us, through discrete stratifications, into territories close to the Popol Vuh of In Der Garten Pharaos. It is the prelude to the end: Last Night I Dreamt We Destroyed The World has a programmatic title, but it can only suggest the slow apocalypse described by the music. It is precisely this descriptiveness that is striking: keeping well away from the vulgar demonstration of noise power, Peacemaker leads us into a story “through sounds” through metropolises devastated by the Leviathan and landscapes battered by metallic winds; impressive."
