hey all! started this on another noise forum but does anybody know any acts like the ones in the subject that deal with true crime topics? I know it's an overdone topic in noise but I still find it interesting if done right. Thanks in advance!
This might be a good moment to mention Finnish anonymous project Cadaver Gutter. Not many releases, but the tape "Humanity Is Overrated" is based on Finnish school shooting by Pekka-Eric Auvinen. Happened in 2007 and still resonates here. It was the first school shooting of this scale here. Track titles:
Natural Selection
Humanity Is Overrated
Shooting Begins 11:19 am
Feeling Filthy
true crime is the quintessence of power electronics as well as deviant sexuality and unpc topics
con-dom acts of faith 3" is a super classic on the topic
There is the anonymous Ottis In The Woods project on Filth & Violence all about Ottis Toole that might be worth checking out
Uncodified / Wertham Vindicta I-III comes to mind straight away for me when I think of this topic. Those three albums are definitely worth checking out especially if you're looking for that true crime type of element.

different cases, the most exciting one is Indian sk the stoneman, but also canadian mass murderer Marc Lépine who was in the actual picture of the record

thanks! i'm interested in reading on the Lucas/Toole case so that will be a neat project to check out
Hospital Productions put out this awesome tape by Murder Machine a little while back called Take A Baseball Bat To The Whole City. Has a nice special package with painting of Alphonse Capone with necklace around portrait holding tape. It's very crude sounding material and dealing with the aesthetics of 1920's Chicago. Loads of violent gangster crime during the prohibition era, which is an era in American history I'm very fascinated with, so this tape I bought straight away and it did not disappoint!
First, I feel awkward plugging in my own work here, when acts mentioned above are mainly genre legends. Second, other than war crimes, I never felt I connected with the topic of true crime enough to create something sensible and innovative.
Now, one thing I have done is the song that fantasizes about how last day (or rather last 12 hours leading up to the event) could look like for one of the victims of 2012 Aurora, Colorado mass shooting. It could be very pleasant and happy day. It could be a perfect day.

What is the case acts of faith is based on?
The first on is based on 1989's École Polytechnique massacre carried out by antifeminist Marc Lépine. There is a lot of good information on this particular case on the Internet, and while it might seem as if the person in question had been moved by outright misoginy, according to Wikipedia and etc. he had some sort of psychotic attack while unconsciously introjecting the persona of his abusive father, thus resulting in a cataclysm of hatred unparalled. I once found a detailed article of his person, being described as the "first incel". Pretty good stuff, huh?
The second track is about an unidentified serial killer of Calcutta, named as "The Stoneman", who was speculated to have committed a series of murders of homeless people by pounding large rocks onto their heads. I guess the lyrics to this particular song are a reading of a news report on the case. At least it sounds like.
The third one deals with the Hungerford massacre, in which 27-year-old Michael Ryan shot and killed sixteen people, including his own mother, and then blew his brains out. I don't know much about these two last cases, though. At some point at Hungry for Death, it seems as if Mike says (ironically enough) "Mom, I'll kill you... I'll enjoy that."
Acts of Faith is probably my most listened Con-dom release. Absolutely devastating depiction of the uttermost cruelty.

Just picked a CD copy up this morning. looking forward to that one!
A recent favourite of mine is the Suspect Unknown LP on Fusty. Super aggressive and the sample selection is great. Highly recommended. It's nothing original but very well executed.

loved this one. eager for what SU has in store next. he scratches the Slogun style itch perfectly and at one point I think a rumor was circulating that it was John B. under a new name? to me that's a testament to his work

Back in the day, I used to have Marc Lepine t-shirt, where man was pictured in the front and the back side with text "Feminist have always ruined my life" that was one of the things he mentioned in suicide letter. One time was on the road to play a gig, and stopped to buy some ice cream with bunch of guys. After paying it and was walking away, ice cream stall teen girl shouted "WAIT!!! What is written on your shirt??". I stand still while she reads out loud "Feminists.. have.. always.. ruined my life!" and then bursted into massive laughter.
(Shirt wasn't really Con-Dom related, though. Track "Commando Terreur" refers to Lepine case.)
While opening message mentions that "it's an overdone topic in noise", I feel quite different. I think it is overdone topic in mass media, social media, podcasts, and so on. Within noise, there would be still place for it. Of course noise & p.e. acts were dealing with topic extensively, but inflation of true crime for me is all about the later mainstream style where there simply doesn't exist enough petty crime that it wouldn't be dissected in hours long girls talking about criminals -type of podcast..
I agree. True crime has and will ever have place in this if done with a different perspective than simply glorifiying nutcases. Deeper analysis or, as in the case of your shirt, focusing on statements and the idea behind these hunters.

"The First incel? The legacy of Marc Lépine" (https://journals.lib.sfu.ca/index.php/jicw/article/view/4214)
Haha, one of the greatest things I've read on this forum. I wonder who would ever have the courage to print such a shirt. Or maybe you'd made it yourself? Surely I'd love one of these if I ever get the chance to grab it with my hands, in however (peculiar) selling situation.
Anyway, without wanting to bring onto this forum large discussions on the "Inceldom" phenomenom, nor implying the people involved in those actions can be reduced to such, I made a link to an interesting article I've came accross once, while searching for information on Marc Lépine. It's interesting to note shifts in mass media interpretations of these events, as the article states that had it happened today, it would be automatically coined an Incel-attack, something which obviously did not happen during that time.
The counterside is that, nowadays, any school-shooting or mass killing is directly or indirectly explained under such terms. But even when one takes a look at Columbine, where both Eric and more intensely, Dylan, mourned or cursed their lack of intimacy with the opposite sex; had casual hookups or "girlfriends" as it was stated by some of their colleagues, but remained most of their lives within the classic spectrum of the nihilistic, lone, awkward, socially inadequate, hate-filled teenager male outcast, makes me think they aswell would fall under that category, had it happened today. It's just a matter of convenience: back then the blame was to fall on music, video-games & guns; today it is on "toxic masculinity", "white privilege", social medias and bullying.
