Perfected Grave Vault - Wilderness & Industry (New Forces)

Perfectly crunchy and crusty harsh noise.

Aaron Aspinwall's projects always feel like a love letter to a very specific time and sound of noise. Charlie Mumma, who is the other half of this duo, is the perfect man to complement Aaron's sound and vice versa.

Perfected Grave Vault feels like an amalgam of Americanoise and Japanese noise influences of the 90s. There is a beautiful in the red tape saturation blanket of sound to this release. Aaron's other project, Death Dedication, is not too dissimilar and worth checking out for folks that like this tape. 

On the surface, the noise is not overly complicated, however, there is always a very active and energetic undercurrent to what they are doing. The first track really opens up beautifully around the ten-minute mark and you get a lot of stereo play and panning. Both tracks have a fierce forward momentum and rarely take the foot off the gas.

I didn't absorb this release properly when it was first released and enjoyed it quite a bit on today's relisten. Classic and timeless style of noise.

Could easily see this in a few year-end lists.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: AMK

Originally name of topic was "projects like AMK", but as there is not even topic of AMK itself, apart of this, I guess its better to have AMK talk in this topic.

Recently I found Troniks/pacrec cardboard sleeve AMK CD hiding between other releases in my record store. Decided to give that disc a spin, even if I do have my own copy at home. Really good stuff. Same could be said about AMK pure disc. Returned to that too. Not long when I must have written something about K2, AMK & The Haters – Three Phenomena CD? Really amazing CD that was fairly recently on playlist.

New GX episode in the WCN podcast had brief moment of talking about AMK. Both his collaboration with The Haters, GX input with Banned Productions tapes, and GX name dropping AMK discs. I used to distribute Banned productions stuff when it was possible to get some. This also included many CDR releases that took ages to sell. I am now out of town
I did end up going to AMK bandcamp and check out Discogs, what I am missing and what I should try to get. Curiously, is focusing on CD's, there is just one thing I am missing. A lot of tapes are so small editions, they are not likely to be found anywhere but 2nd hand market from Discogs which I have not used for many years.

It makes me think, is it possible that AMK really has "demand" that can be satisfied with something like edition of 50 tapes? or 50 CDR's!! I am pretty sure that Pure/Troniks type 500-1000 copies edition is phenomena of the past, but I'd certainly welcome if someone would reissue some of impossible-to-get CDR/tape stuff on CD with realistic print run.

Those into checking Finn noise have again opportunity for couple new compilations!
V/A SUOMI LIVE ACTION - tape on American label has assorted live shows from Finnish acts. Didn't yet listen to it, but I'd assume its decent quality sound? Line-up nice!

V/A "MODERN AXIETY" tape. You would think there could be shortage of finding new names you have not heard as comp CD series like Kolari and Terässinfonia has covered... what is it.. soon 100 names from Finland?! Still this comp is pretty much solid harsh noise offering and has some bands you have not heard from those compilations!  Tyhjiø, Isä kosminen, Savage Gospel, Neandertaal, Slave Chain, Boredom Knife, Pissfront, Bodybag Experience..

Do you use mobile or desktop version of forum? There is that glitch that if you use mobile lay-out, menu text where search is, is white text on white background. You can solve this by rotating phone sideways and most often it switches to desktop layout and you can see search button on top left buttons. Right below logo, next to home -button.

A question if I may?:

Wolf Eyes 3CD Box Of Drolls. Is it good? Why edits?? (I'm a Wolf Eyes Ignoramus.)

(I'm sure there is a better thread for this, but I seem to have difficulty searching here.)

Richard Ramirez / T.E.F. - Split (Deadline)

These two long-time collaborators share a new split in 2025. Kevin has been a member/contributor of Black Leather Jesus since about 2006, but they haven't done a split between their solo works since the 2001 Magnified Healing with Prurient.

Richard's side is one long 15-minute piece. Steeped in cable hum, feedback, and metal junk abuse. The hum and feedback are shaped into a kind of harsh droning backdrop to the active metal abuse. However, expertly crafted as only Richard could do. A solid track from Richard.

T.E.F. side features Kevin's fast-paced slice and dice he is known for. The whole release is good, but the final T.E.F. track "Sloughing" truly shines. An absolute scorcher and stunning showcase of technical prowess and harshness. The industrial metal banging on the last minute and a half goes so hard. Kevin's already proven himself time and time again. He just pokes his head out every few years to remind us that he can still absolutely kill.

Two of the best in the game show us they still got it, and they only needed 15 minutes each to do so.
