Cover Wretch is dark art regurgitation spewed into a catalogue of visual spasms. Gathered, mangled and compounded into a singular mass of reactive dark psychologically damaged outpourings. A puked soup of wide eyed despair moulded into a foul assemblage only related by negative fixation. Normals deflected, expectations rejected, psychosis reflected, abnormalities ingested, delirium digested. An unyielding continuum of fetid distress. Foul dogma suppressed, usurped by the unimpressed. For we are all Wretch.

Wretch is the first book / album in a series of the cumulative mangled Unhinged & Scald archive: A demented menagerie of transcendental altered existence. NO artificial intelligence has been used in creating any of these images. Some might say very little actual intelligence, but at least a modicum of organic thought has been employed.

UnScald is the Unhinged experimental arm of Belfast dinmongers Scald. The evolution of Wretch started back in 2006. Some tracks had been finished and stored away intended as additional tracks for an extended release of Scalds Nematoid recordings. We returned to this in 2019 to create more. Not unlike the visual collection it accompanies, this first UnScald album was created on the basic principal of using varied existing material as a foundation for creating new. Deconstructing facets from numerous songs which are live manipulated, combined with additional instrumentation & voices, thus evolving into new discomforting organisms. Most tracks use Scalds Nematoid era recordings (1999/2000) as the underlying source. (6 tracks, 43 mins). But better to listen + download the below preview track- 'The Collector'. Guest voice: Darren Moore (Mourning Beloveth). Includes pdf preview of the book. <a href="https://unscald.bandcamp.com/album/the-collector-free-wretch-preview">The Collector (Free Wretch preview) by UnScald</a>
There is no information labelling on the works in the body of the book. It should be viewed as a flood of unbalanced subconsciousness without the distraction of reason or context.
