http://www.chondriticsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=409792#p409792Custodian - Sonance From Detached Life c15
Custodian is one of my favorite current harsh noise acts, and if the posting on this forum is any indication I'm not the only person that feels that way. I'm very excited to bring you this c15 of his trademark grinding, pummeling and searing noise. This release is a bit slower, heavier and more crushing than some of Jon's other output, while maintaining his usual cold, industrial tinged style. You need this, or you already know that you need this and don't need me to convince you.
Ryan Bloomer - Punch Pugs c20
Ryan Bloomer, known for his work in Stegm, Flatline Construct, Zenta Sustained, as well as collaborating with The Endless Blockade (and for making great contact mics and other gear as Trauma Tone) releases excellent harsh noise under his own name for labels like HarshHeadRituals, Self Abuse, Phage, and others. This tape is another example of his ability to create amazing harsh noise textures, with a slow burn of static that occasionally rips and tears itself apart before continuing the crackling. Note - this tape should appeal to HNW fans, particularly if you're into the minimal crackling of Insurgent, some of Richard Ramirez's static noise work or what The Rita has been doing lately.
Breaking The Will - Normalization c20
This tape is the Breaking The Will project coming into its own, taking the raw metal abuse attack and filtering it through a more thrashing, cut-up style of harsh noise. Someone else described this as having a frantic Killer Bug / K2 feel that is combined with a pounding metal noise attack a la Macronympha, so if those artists appeal to you I think you'll like the style of harsh noise here. 3 untitled tracks motivated by violence and its rationalization in differing contexts.
