CON-DOM - How Welcome Is Death to I Who Have Nothing More to Do but Die
Amen!
It is excellent album in its harsh cold realistic perspective, where death has no "cool" qualities. Its the last howls of demented patients just hoping to die, human remains that are alive, but weak and without purpose. Disease and decay, that isn't about pile of corpses and dreams of what awaits "on the other side".
These experiences of real life sheer misery are good substance and one angle to death, but that said, I think in noise there is this element that you find certain realism from absurdity of imagination. I probably said it elsewhere too, but like with death, one can look another classic topic of rough sound: Sex. Would one want noise based on healthy relationship. What's that garbage? Of course many may find it funny that some socially awkward virgin is doing totally dehumanizing sexobject filth, but that emotion tends to be real and with consequences. Plenty of variation in degrees of obsessions and emotions, but in context of noise, outrageous and unrealistic lust of virgin could be vastly more interesting than something based on
healthy relationship.
In death-noise, you can see the same. All those people who tend to deal with death and disease in their life (like work), it is real and it may be personal in some ways, but also largely routine. Something that goes beyond the banal level what we all can sooner or later see, the content that is something else, seems very valid for me. In short, pile of corpses on tape cover, rarely disappointment. Even if done by people who approach it from seemingly funny angle, like virgins approach sex noise.
