New Forces Fall 2015
Four new cassettes and issue 5 of the New Forces zine are now available.
"No one engaged in thought about history and politics can remain unaware of the enormous role violence has always played in human affairs" (Hannah Arendt)
Various Artists - "Coalition" Cassette
"Coalition" is the follow up to last year's "Resistance" compilation on New Forces and gathers together 13 heavy hitters for 70 minutes of blistering harsh noise. All new tracks from Knurl, Sissy Spacek, Constrain, Lettera 22, Crimes of the Crown, Hostage Pageant, Skin Graft,Treriksröset, Mania, Heat Signature, Baculum, Vasculae and Vomir. "Coalition" is the elite of contemporary harsh noise, remaining dedicated to extreme sound of the highest quality. Housed in oversized bags, front-and-back artwork and insert.
Vat - "Bubble Probe" Cassette
The absolute filthiest. White hot, crashing down around you, the true spirit of Americanoise. No pretension or subtlety, just pure aggression. Vat has assembled an impressive discography to date and is poised to takes its place among the top tier of contemporary American harsh noise. "Bubble Probe" feels like a total structural collapse.
Scalp Elevator - "Reenactment" Cassette
Scalp Elevator is the new project of Ryan Bloomer and Andrew Nolan. Separately they have an impressive body of work credited to their own names, as well as their participation in bands like The Endless Blockade, Column of Heaven, Flatline Construct and Joshua Norton Cabal. Together they manage to take the best of various harsh noise approaches and filter it through a masterful set of textural studies. Deconstructed junk metal, crackling tones, and full on blasting sound. A mix of studio and live exercises that are alternatively humbling and motivating.
Heat Signature - "People's War" Cassette
Heat Signature brings together Luke Tandy (Being), Brad Griggs, and Stefan Aune (Breaking the Will) for an exercise in destruction. Recorded at Skeleton Dust HQ in summer 2015. The A-side is a rushing, heaving blast of sound, the B-side sounds like world's most degraded punk band falling off a cliff. Walls of sound, dynamic shifting, amplified metal, the exhilaration of volume, pressure and intensity.
New Forces Issue 5
The 5th issue of New Forces includes interviews with Knurl, Filth, Cipher Productions, Scant, a listener's guide to Emaciator, and a feature on live noise venues with Luke Tandy (Skeleton Dust HQ), Jay Linski (The Borg Ward), and Omar Gonzalez (Club Rectum). Reviews and pictures round things out. Five issues in, no end in sight. Best enjoyed while listening to Skin Crime.
