- The former Vex'd member will release his second studio album in October.
Roly Porter will drop his next LP on October 7th.
Once part of dubstep's most important outfits, Vex'd, Porter has since moved out on his own into more avant-garde waters. Now at home on Subtext, the label that once released the old Vex'd singles and now handles groups like noise-techno peddlers Emptyset, Porter's music fuses the aggression of his dubstep days in with modern classical and drone sensibilities. Life Cycle Of A Massive Star is his second album, following 2011's Aftertime and last year's live document Fall Back.
As its title implies, the record plots the life and death of a star system, using the structure for "a parallel investigation into the human response to this vast celestial order and its overarching dialogue with the infinitesimal lives we lead," with an emphasis on the cycle of life and death which permeates every step of the cosmic order. The press releases claims the album shows the more reflective side of the producer, albeit one still loaded with his typically harsh textures.
