The work “Cutting Through” by Mutant Sex Demon is not easy to absorb. It demands a lot, provokes and leaves clear traces. It is clear from the outset that this is not about pleasant sounds or simple structures. It’s about raw feelings and showing oneself radically. The sound, a powerful mixture of industrial, noise, darkwave and post-human pop, feels almost physical – like sharp blades cutting through the ear. Everything is aimed at immediate impact, to overcome a boundary, be it psychological, social or artistic.
Mutant Sex Demon manages to combine chaos with order. Behind the seemingly wild sound is a sophisticated arrangement, a dramaturgy that turns listening into a ritualistic experience. The beats sound aggressive, distorted and very strong. The voices, which often sound whispered, shouted or altered, penetrate the dense sound like ghostly confessions. They move between pain, lust, devotion and resistance without ever seeming banal. This is not about mere provocation, but about an honest confrontation with the body, one’s own identity and deep inner abysses. The title Cutting Through is more than just a name – it stands for a concept. The work penetrates emotional layers, exposes pure emotions, scratches at the boundaries of shame and at the same time awakens a dark form of liberation.
What is particularly impressive is how consistently Mutant Sex Demon realizes its vision. There are no concessions, no deviation from its own art, no attempt to be simpler. Instead, the work invites the audience to embark on a disturbing but also liberating journey. This music not only fills the space, it occupies it, it does not accompany, it dominates. And it is precisely for this reason that a special kind of beauty is revealed: in the excessive demands, in the overwhelming, in the complete surrender to something that is greater than the desire for control.
Cutting Through is not an album that you forget quickly. It lingers in the body, echoes and acts like an open wound that doesn’t hurt, but lives. Mutant Sex Demon has created a work that is musically and emotionally one of the most uncompromising and impressive releases of recent times. It is radical, intense and absolutely unique – a strong signal for all those who seek clarity in loud sound.
