ALTAR OF FLIES "permanent cavity" CD
great as usual. IDEAL label release perhaps gets this quite well outside the nasty underground noise scene, and certainly the musical elements may get wider appreciation. I'm still in favor of "Female" LP, but there has been no weak AoF releases.

TOURETTE "Cendrier de voyage" tape
Luckily got some of the very last copies from artist! Mostly harsh noise, but not very "amplified" or "crunchy". Just well done, quick, chaotic moves and few great droning pieces thrown in middle. I'd like to hear the how would sound Tourette's talent in handling his pedals if combined with loud amplifiers. It would perhaps remove some of subtle nuances of distortions, but perhaps add punch. Good tape worth to look for.

Thanks to a sensible policy of online re-issuing I've been taking great pleasure listening to Alleypisser. Considered, rusted, scraped and broken noise that occasionally increases in volume but often stays content within it's hushed parameters. So far I've only been listening to "Kvalt", "Glemt" and "Sult" repeatedly, and find "Glemt" the personal favourite so far.

Also been returning constantly to Ashley C's "Drift". I understand the two separate spirals (one recorded for a split with Alleypisser) were mainly built with constant tape over-dubbing, leading to the naturally decaying sound (but oddly, very little tape hiss). Be that as it may, the two pieces work together for a single album, both very detailed in their pockmarked ruin without overloading or too much "craft", the second piece ("The Miracle") being the more pleasingly sedentary of the two.

And now, such as every now and then, I'm listening again to Crawl Unit's "VS Silence". An essential of near-nothing Noise. Of course it has the occasional over-blown moment, but for the most part it's the soft, dark rushing sound, as if from great distances.
Shikata ga nai.

ARV & MILJÖ "Orientering I Denna Värld" CD
Listened this few times already. Yesterday suffering from severe hangover, and laying down, listening the rough, noisy, rotten, yet structured A&M CD two times in row was very good. Had previous listening too, so knew what to expect. Album length is less than 30 mins, isn't it? 7 pieces of noise, where each track has it's own structure & sounds. Very much to my liking!
Sample track here:

Contrastate ‎"A Breeding Ground For Flies" CD
2012 album that has been in my shelves waiting for good moment to be listened. I'm big fan of old Contrastate and keep being amazed about lack of attention they appear to get? But I bet if someone mistakes to grab this album to start with, it may not help situation. Not  that this would be horrible, but there is so clear difference between old analogue, perfectly flowing Contrastate, and the new computer edited one. There's about 10 years break between this and previous release. Style still is kind of same, but just... not the same. While I tolerate well all sorts of obvious, blunt and even childish political content in music, and sometimes even praise and advocate such, I draw lines somewhere. All sorts of neo-fascists, all sorts of anarchists, even deranged & mad feminists would have their place... but when you combine underground music with most extreme banalities of anti-Bush USA propaganda, that's where I generally draw the line where very few manage to walk out without being failures. Not that there isn't substance to be critical of American politics and George Bush junior in particular, but while the rest mentioned often carry sort of inbuild artistic element, the Bush criticism seems something completely different.
Album works nearly as it would be soundtrack music for anti-Bush documentary. It's too mechanical and too soulless, too modern and dry to have same artistic level as past works. It's too obvious, without saying that much. I'd prefer politics without this kind of logical reasoning! Everything in this album appears like it follows almost mathematical accuracy and reason.
At the same time, best moments of album works fine in its genre. At worst it is with horrid flirt with... what you call it these days? Dubstep? I don't know. Some sort of experimental dance in the end of disc.

Guido Cadreghin feat. Menthe de Menthe - C
http://innerempire.bandcamp.com/album/c

G.C. was one of my ghost projects, i completely forgot about it... it's a part of a 26 "albums" series.

Levas

F.E Denning - Light & Dust - it's decent tape of synth etc.

Orquere - Movements - very good

tiny_tove

Uncodified/Satanismo calibro 9 split - obscure and intense, still have to fully get into it, but I like it.
VA - HOUR OF THE WOLF cd - loved it
Blocco Nero (http://blocconero.bandcamp.com/ , anarchist acoustic/martial stuff. very good)
THE RITA "womens vocals"-LP does what it says
PUCE MARY "Ultimate Hypocrisy" BOMB!
SK1005 "MANNHEIM/GOTHENBURG 1992 " - LP I wonder why they didn't release this earlier!!! The sort of sounds I have grown up with
NORDVARGR - The Dromopda Transmissions CD weirder Henrik's material I have listened so far, but definitely strikes my chords. loved the video as well.
Deprivation - I Don't Want To Grow Up Here tape definitely worth more than a listen!!! pretty intense

Yeah I totally agree w/ you here. Funnily this was the first record of theirs I heard as well.

Hakaristi

Streetcleaner - Buckle Under: '06 demo from this TF/PE-related unit. Rotting, sinister postmortem electronics. Disappointing to hear the project ended soon after this tape.

V/A - Perdo Omnis
: A fitting "sequel" to Sonno Ferrum. All artists are very good but Aot21C's contribution (I think?) really hit the spot for me, those droning strings...

Uncodified - Drug Street
: Rough Italian noise/PE. The tracks feat. Wertham's vocals are standouts, especially Drive. Nice photography in cover and presentation in general as to be expected from the label.

Auschwitz Symphony Orchestra - Sonderbehandlung
: Recent Finnish demo of Grindcore with anti-ZOG/Globalist message. Good stuff, always appreciated to hear some good old noisecore blasts too!

Bizarre Uproar - Kuristusote: Metal junk, feedback and distant shouting vocals combined with loops. Classic BU sound and definitely my preferred one.

Ride for Revenge / S.A.D.O.S. - RfR present a side of their usual bass-heavy sound. S.A.D.O.S. side is, as I think mentioned here before, slightly disappointing black noise stuff. Rather different than their track on the Bestial Burst comp.

Con-Dom - Subjection: Ripping HN attack as opposed to his trademarked heavy PE sound. Tasty stuff indeed.

Grain Belt - Dragline: 20 minutes of chaotic group junk-smashing mayhem from Wince, Baculum, etc. members. Very solid harsh noise.

Levas

Anemone Tube - The Transfiguration of Image - well, decent tape, but truth to say, not the best from the project for sure.

Whitewater Orgasm - Moments of Suffering - Decent tape. heard this before, but it sounds good on tape.

Drug Age - Tropismo - very good tape!

Aischrolatreia - Sentient Prison - somewhat dual feelings. There were good parts, there were boring white noise wall parts. Overall - decent noise.

Swallowing Bile - Obsession - Good. There was one especially enjoyable track in side A with vocals. Good power electronics

Hideous colors of decay - s/t - nice tape, somewhat reflecting the title of the project/album.

Ride for Revenge / Sados - RFR was good, but not too good. Sados was ok until that synth part towards the end of the side.

Wrong Hole - Esthetic Savings - I think the best noise tape I've listened to today.

Aischrolatreia - Spiral Injection / Loathsome Rift - not  bad.

Amph - Hudson - this is one of the project that I started to like very much lately. So this tape is subjectively very good

Is the person behind this project Liver Mortis or Pleasure Fluilds? I haven't heard of that before. Do you have any more details about it?

Assume it's probably one of them, unsure which though. It's a rough demo/rehearsal included free with a few early TF/PE orders. There were plans for a proper release on True Force but the project was over with soon after.

Agreed! This recent batch from Joy De Vivre is killer!

City Of Worms Crumnants (Sound Of Pig): Fantastic industrial work ala old school Jerman/Lunde, cos it is.
V/A Conception: The Dark Evolution Of Electronics Vol. 1 (AVA/ES1): Stunning collection of Jap, Euro & 'merican legends. Everything is fantastic, even Deutsch Nepal whom I can never stand the blandness of his work. Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata is the only dud; not cos it's bad, but for the fact that it sounds like Boards Of Canada or Prefuse 73 or something and has no place here.
Despise You West Side Horizons (Fuck Yoga): Repulsive society. My favorite powerviolence next to Crossed Out.
Mlehst Occasional Stimulation (Tonspur Tapes): Shockingly beautiful output from Brentnall.
Run The Jewels S/T (Fools Gold/Big Dada): Heheheh, y-e-a-h it's pretty awesome.
SS Decontrol The Kids Will Have Their Say (Xclaim!): The straightedge sound I can love.
Toukaseibunshi Meta-Inorganicmatter Meta-Newlon (Angakok): Long track at the start is a picture perfect representation of the front cover. The rest kinda flops around in too many places.
Pedestrian Deposit Natural Causes (A Dear Girl Called Wendy): Okay.
Sissy Spacek Gate (A Dear Girl Called Wendy): Okay.
V/A Eros (A Dear Girl Called Wendy): This will stay with me forever. Fucking classy comp.
V/A Bruitisme 1913-2013 (Influencing Machine): Most played album this year.
Francisco Meirino/Kiko C. Esseiva Focus On Nothing On Focus (Aussenraum): Best output from Meirino I've heard so far. Or at least tied with the An Extended Meaning For Something Meaningless CDr.
Seitz Versus Gendreau S/T (Misanthropic Agenda): Lots of lovely variety in sound and a lot of surprising sources. What you'd expect from the pairing.
James Rushford/Joe Talia Paper Fault Line (Bocian): Ten rungs above the lauded Manhunter LP if you ask me. No predictable and trendy synth/drum machine BS. Just amazing atmospheres.
Schimpfluch-Gruppe Nigredo (Fragment Factory): Menacing.
