DUE PROCESS "Combine XXIII-XXXV" LP
Phage
hmm.. so how many of you guys listen Due Process?? I admire greatly some of the stuff, but some is just not quite as noisy as their best ones. Due Process here is Ron Lessard, John Wiggins, Thomas Dimuzio and Zanstones. But in reality part of the stuff is John Wiggins solo work and other stuff is Dimuzio works where he uses 2005 radio live of him and Lessard as source sounds. It's more of electro-acoustic/experimental kind of stuff here. Lots of effects, lots of odd cutting & twisting the sounds. Pretty good LP, but cover art is a bit turn off for me. It's pretty much never, when I see this projects name appear on any talk...

NEVAI_NONET  "String Oktet In A" 12"
Devils Fork
This is totally odd. I remember one member said that it is stuff unlike anything else. I was kind of "yeah, right" as it's not that easy to bring in table something completely unheard. Of course it's up to debate whether this is it, but lets say, you don't find records like this too often. I'm kind of out of my words, but saying free form metal band playing scott Walker string songs with drums what are either leaning to free jazz or lets say noisecore - hah... While all the musical references are somehow more elegant and arty, it really is more chaotic and odd. Distorted vocals add more oddity. Sometimes one wonders is this done as humor or is it plain serious, but who knows? Occasionally it sounds like band with attempt to create gothic symphonic industrial metal failed and something went terribly wrong. To press 45rpm heavy vinyl full color gatefold release of THIS, got to admire a bit!

BLACK ROSE "The Room Inside" LP
Contempo
1991 Italian some sort of gothic leaning stuff. Think of digital piano and cheesy "angel choir" pre-set keyboards and reverb drenched etheral female vocals. I have no idea when and why I have bought this. Few moments I like, most things I feel embarressed for this due, which seems to be sister & brother?

CURRENT 93 "Honeysuckle Aeons" LP
Coptic Cat
Felt tempted to check out more later days C93. I have actually bough more of later days LPs but just shelved to "later use", as didn't feel like listening, but didn't want to miss them if they are good. This passes me without leaving any mark. I'm not fully prepared to really listen what Tibet is saying in his lengthy monologue throughout each track, but as merely phonetic element of track, Tibets voice gets... ehm.. well, lets say he is not THE most charismatic speakers in world. I don't get irritated for listening LP, but neither there is anything what is really indicating I should be returning to this anytime soon. I'm confident, next time I do so, it would be with bottle of whiskey, armchair and holding lyric sheet in my hand.

NEVAI_NONET  "String Oktet In A" 12"

Nándor is a demented visionary! Own plenty of his (and related) stuff and it's all quite mindblowing. And as far as I know he's completely serious about his "Biomekanikal Neoklassikal Musik". Let's not forget he's a founding member of Aborted Christ Childe and Hatewave also. Equally bizarro music video(s) here: http://vimeo.com/87520629

KRÖKTA RUM "Tankar & syner del II" LP
Järtecknet
I like this a lot, but fucken' hell, first time I took LP from sleeve, it had scratches or something almost like pressing defect what makes end of a-side crackle unwantedly. Luckily the sound of LP is so broken lo-fi tape experiments that some extra crackles are not end of the world. I think this could be better first? Or my memory failing. Certainly better than some other Järtecknet LP's.

ENKLAV "2" LP

Järtecknet
One could say same thing. Great Vivenza like "loop industrial" of rugged mechanical elements. Not much more, not much less. Good analogue sound, long tracks that have active participation instead merely cold loops.

MIKA VAINIO "Kilo" 2xLP
Blast First Petite
Vainios work start to be little too popular music for my taste. Well done, yet kind of easy beats and musical tones. It's still ahead of a lot of what I hear from realms of "techno", but has taken further into bad direction if you ask me. It's decent stuff to listen, but when abstract tracks of this 2xLP are the best, I start to wonder, why not pick up his more abstract albums instead of this?

Certainly is.  I would think Ministry, NIN, Rob Zombie, Meathook Seed, GGFH, etc fans would get into it.  Thanks for reviewing it.  There's a newer Japanese HC supergroup, SHI (Struggling Harsh Immortals), that is a hybrid of Ministry.  This stuff really isn't in my pocket, but if done well, I enjoy it.

TS

I've had a Revenge kick these last few days, and so I have been spinning Superion.Command.Destroy, Victory.Intolerance.Mastery, and Infiltration.Downfall.Death a lot. Classic releases in my ears. Absolutely frenetic and brutal drumming, shameless vocals. No fucking about, musically or aesthetically. DESTINY MASTERY.

Other things that have been getting attention lately:
Sickness - Ruiner LP
Very good. Nicely paced, energetic throughout. Lots of surprises.
Black Grail - Demo - I
Very inventive and rugged black metal from Chile. Nice yellow on black artwork. Highly recommended.
Jakko Vanhala - Here Be Lions
Cannot stop listening to this. Same goes for:
V/A - Sonno Ferrum cassette
Beautiful artwork, inspiring sounds. Very charming.
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Legendary rapshit. Manages to be hard as fuck while still maintaining that sad "out of cocaine" atmosphere, at least though the first half of the album. After that it unfortunately degenerates into bedroom rap.
Death Squad - Theological Genocide
Cold, hard production, relentless oppressive atmosphere. Excellent hateful vocal performance.

DERNIERE VOLONTE "Obeir Et Mourir" 2xLP
Hauruck
Probably like this more now than before. I still think some of the drum machine marching beats are pretty cheap, but well... Martial music. I like noble historical speeches, gloomy atmospheres and that it has noisy moments. Too bad this reissue is just the tape, while noble looking 2xCD box on N&B had several bonus tracks.

ATRAX MORGUE "In Search of death" LP
Urashima
Great. Just great stuff. Lethal synth tones, grim vocals, movie samples. In a way, simple stuff what "anyone with synth could do" (haha!), but reality shows nobody has done it quite like Atrax Morgue did!

MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA "Anal Perversion" LP
Urashima
Especially A-side is phenomenal. Even better than I remembered. Or perhaps its that I've mostly listened old bootleg LP made out of who know what kind of tape instead of master. So rough, so fierce. Just insane. B-side is much more of feedback noise than utmost distorted harshness. I like how quality of sound is so raw, that even some surface noise of vinyl doesn't bother at all.

DAMIEN DUBROVNIK "Patterns of Penetratuon" 7"
Alter
Great 7"! Kind of power electronics meets techno, but managing to involve good elements of these genres. Crispy sound. Highly electric noises. Nice vocals.

PUCE MARY "Persona" LP
Posh Isolation
Great! Some tracks are full on "euro PE", some more gloomy and atmospheric, with nasty sex noises here and there. Moaning, strangulation, good spices from field recordings. Needs more listening! Tomorrow again...

More of the Puce LP. Yep, it is less aggressive, less noisy, more calm, erotic, suffocating. I like.

CONTROLLED BLEEDING " Songs From A Sewer Of Dreams" 4xLP +7" box
VOD
Jeeesus christ what a load of CRAP!!!! One side of "lost versions" of Knees & Bones material doesn't save from facts that 7 other sides are SHIT. Opening track, in all honesty, is pretty good. 2007 industrial works. But rest is 1) utterly without any red line 2) generally inferior in context of any type of genre they could be placed. If its free jazz, it's crappy. If its space rock, its crappy. If its ambient, its crappy. etc etc. At worst you'll be listening (as membership gift) band jamming Doors cover song. Fuck Doors and fuck this box. Apparently quite a lot of people feel the same and discogs seems to be cluttered with boxes for sale... Good luck for anyone trying to get rid of this.

KARJALAN SISSIT "Misere" LP
Eternal Soul
Neoclassical/martial music with amusing samples from comedy, b-rate action, themes of drinking and violence etc. Sometimes still pretty good, occasionally this 10 year anniversary edition has doesn't have the same impact it may have had long ago.

Jason Lescalleet - Much To My Demise (Kye)

Surprised to see no one mention it yet, would probably appeal to many on this board. Really blown away by this record. Can't stop playing the b side, really effective use of stops and starts, and general mastery of the tape machine.

Olympic Shit Man - Supercharge (2LP, Harbinger)

Perfect harsh noise! Rough sound, nice dynamic range, rusty but "colourful" overall atmosphere. Electronic and metallic sounds, crude feedback, some mangled speech sounds, loops, etc. Lot of stuff happening, but all the layers are kept clearly audible. The distortion is not an all-consuming wall of buzz but rather the sounds are damaged, blown out and shattered in the way that they're still recognisable. Side four is live stuff. One of the greatest noise records I've heard in a long time. Got not idea how this compares to the tape it was released originally as, but sounds wild and good on vinyl.

Good day of industrial sound:

EINTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN "Fuenf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala" LP
Some Bizarre
Good mid 80's stuff from EN. Metal percussion, sound quality, songs that are good overall. I don't like all EN, but the good ones, most definitely!

VIVENZA "realites sevomecaniques" LP
Rotorelielf
First Vivenza what I heard and I got the original LP, but when this reissue came out, I felt somehow tempted to take it, although trying not to be "collector" who hoards different versions of same stuff... It's great LP busy of industrial clatter. Not heavy or bassy or crushing. Quite treble dominated clatter, lots of loops and tape manipulations. Excellent.

S.P.K. "Dokument III0" 6xLP + 3x7" box...
Great stuff, still under process of listening... This will probably take rest of the day, perhaps even more..!
