Was reading HNW article from Fight Your Own War book, and like always, I'm at the same time confirming that vast majority of stuff is not for me, I always feel that there IS some HWN what will appeal to my taste.
Although being familiar with the stupidity of trivial & "light" subject matter of contemporary HWN, it's still such a annoying moment to read about existence of harry potter, pokemon or whatever my little pony themed noise walls.
If talking about good recent walls, I'm pretty sure TASKMASTER / WINCE split tape qualifies well. WCN release from recent times. Not only it is HWN, but it is good in what it is. Texture, force, brutality, saturation, yet at the same time stability of minimalism. You just need to sink in, and start to observe textures. No dramatic changes or cuts appear.
Good in this tape is that it does qualify as both, the real noise and hnw. One doesn't need some conceptual BS justify flat hissing, but wheter looking for static stability or energy, both are present. Compared to bunch of other HNW items I lately listened, this easily crushes everything.
