Fourth Dimension

<p>Fourth Dimension is a music label founded by Gary Levermore of Third Mind Records in 1983. However, it was later taken over by Richard Johnson (aka Richo) from Grim Humour fanzine after the first release. This label is dedicated to showcasing various genres of underground music, ranging from noise-rock and post-punk to Japanese noise, improv, abstract electronics, and so-called 'outsider' music. With its DIY sensibility, Fourth Dimension continues to thrive alongside Richo's other labels - Lumberton Trading Company and Winter Hill Recordings. In addition to his occasional Adverse Effect journal and his groups Splintered and Theme, Fourth Dimension has also ventured into publishing books.</p>

Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 

I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails is the latest album, closely following It Comes to Us All on Alter in July 2022 and the now mostly o/p CD version already released in October 2022. Comprising nine tracks each named and numbered after the album’s title, IATDUYF violently pushes us through a murky world of suffocating textures, crepuscular guitars, serrated noise and what appear to be random bursts of sawmill grind which together create the perfect backdrop to today’s newscape. This is a relentless sound that’s absolutely unforgiving as it hammers home anger and despair with little respite, illustrating very clearly that JK Broadrick has been one of the very few to contort 7 the uncompromising approach of early power electronics into wholly new and contemporary forms rife with greater possibilities.
