Product Description
Lustmord has been creeping out the music world since 1980, prior to joining industrial forefathers SPK. By the time he started scoring films like 1994's "The Crow", he'd already worked with English experimental luminaries Nurse With Wound, Current 93, and members of Coil. His latest collection of night terrors and Lynch-ian atmospherics features guest shots from Adam Jones (Tool), Aaron Turner (Isis), and Buzz Osborne (Melvins).
Album Description
Other is the 2008 album by Lustmord (aka Brian Williams) a British musician known for creating the dark ambient music genre. A composer and sound designer by day, Williams began cultivating his signature sound in the early 1980s with his second album, Paradise Disowned, which featured underground recordings--literally: in a crypt, in caves, on the ocean floor. Along with his work in industrial band SPK, he mined the frightening, often-avoided aspects of low-frequency emissions. After taking a break from the moniker, he returned in the late '90s, collaborating with experimentally minded rock bands such as the Melvins (Pigs Of The Roman Empire), and in 2006 he helped create many of the massive sounds on Tool's 10,000 Days.

 Headphone Commute Review August 17, 2008

Lustmord - [ O T H E R ] (Hydra Head)
Lock all the doors and walk up the stairs. Turn down the lights and slightly raise the volume. Breathe slowly and try not to wet your pants. The boards creek somewhere in the attic. Lustmord enters the house. With deep moans, low drones, and bass rumbles, the walls begin to ooze evil, and if you stare long enough into the darkness, you'll start to see the path to hell. Like the unspoken dark power of a Ouija board, there is no telling what evil spirits will be called forth, when playing Lustmord's latest album, [ O T H E R ]. Brian Williams is a true pioneer of the dark ambient genre - as dark as they come. Usually referred to as the soundtrack to all your nightmares, Williams has worked on sound design for over 44 film scores, most notable of which include additional compositions for The Crow and Underworld. Lustmord's sound is not just digital effects of haunting echoes - he has actually made field recordings in slaughterhouses, caves and crypts. An interesting album to get your hands on would be a live performance at The Center for Inquiry, recorded on 6/6/6 for the Satanic High Mass celebration of 40th anniversary of The Church of Satan. That album is called Rising. On [ O T H E R ], Adam Jones (Tool) contributes slow solo guitars riffs, with additional appearances by King Buzzo (Melvins) and Aaron Turner (founder of Hydra Head Records and vocalist for the Isis). Speaking of Hydra Head... This is a great American label releasing everything from post-metal, like Pelican and Isis, to drone and doom metal, like Sunn O))) and other heavy metal styles from groups like Cave In, Boris and Jesu. And all joking aside - my dog ran out of the room and was afraid to get back into the studio, standing outside, looking in, until the [ O T H E R ] ended. If you've never heard Lustmord, this is a guaranteed unforgettable experience. For the same reasons that you watch horror films. This is music that truly makes you feel - never mind the fact that I can't wash off the goosebumps. Not recommended for sunny days and little girls. Impeccable production.
Stunning Release! July 31, 2008

I would encourage Lustmord fans to ignore the mediocre first review of [Other] and discover for themselves that this album is right up there with B. Williams' best work. If you are not familiar with Lustmord, do not expect a Melvins or Tool album, although contributions from members of those groups blend perfectly with the ominous, slowly evolving dark ambience found on this album. The depth and expanse of the sounds on [Other] are perfectly chosen and the production has never sounded so pure. I'm beginning to think that the is one of my favorite Lustmord albums.

if the guest appearances by king buzzo of the melvins and adam from tool don't snag you into getting the latest lustmord album,get it because it's seriously awesome ambient music!hard to describe the individual tracks,but they are each unique and not completely dull as some ambient stuff can get.lm knows his stuff and has been around the block though,so no worries:this ain't a gamble,it's fo'sho!
*edit:Because my review is SOOO mediocre,I'll mention that this is NOT a rock album,there aren't vocals on it,and most people would group it into the "sleepy-time music" catergory.Lustmord's music is mainly comprised of droning effects and background atmosphere,with small hints of other instruments here n there;if you have the Underwold dvd,you can sample lm's work if you listen to the score behind the action.If you have an ear for slight nuances in music this is for you,otherwise you might find youself thinking that it's simply a biiig,loooong,drone.In a nutshell,lm's music is like being alone in a dark place outdoors,under the light of the full moon;or maybe like the soundscape of a nightmare directed by david lynch.

Lustmord's Other is the mother of frustraters. LM has worked with some of metal's greatest artists & 3 of my favs joined him on this release. Adam Jones guitarist for TOOL is on 3 tracks & also did the artwork. Buzz Osbourne guitarist, among other trades, for The Melvins is on a track. Aaron Turner guitarist for ISIS is on a track. This is quite the set up for what one would expect to be a special album. It only adds to the disappointment really. Each track is almost indistinguishable from beginning to end & from the track before or after. It sounds like an hour long intro to nothing. It is slow, brooding, dreary, yet utterly monotonous. LM remixes for other bands or soundtracks are creapy and deep but when it comes to his own he puts you to sleep.
