FINNISH NOISE

[cr]

Apart from listening to BDN all weekend... I also got two nice tapes from a new Finnish project last week, which I enjoy very much:

Heppakirjat
Cover artworks alone is worth buying!
As I'm not that good at this, for a closer description I leave it to the great guys from Satatuhatta:

Both tapes are currently sold out, but lets hope artists will make another batch of them! Really good stuff, and while I think B-side of 2nd tape is the best so far, some appear to like first tape more. There is variation there, even if basics of the tape would be something you can expect.

RAUTAKYMI tape
Self published, hand made covers, kind of "RRR'ish", with just pasting couple pics on paper, writing info with marker. I was under impression that could be "clumsy metal junk noise", but it is actually more interesting than that! Very primitive, crude and indeed blunt, but I like this saturated and blown out sound combined with very minimal amount of efx. A bit of electronics, other sounds, distant children's religious song bleeding underneath the noise, etc. Probably available only from artist.

METSÄKIRKKO "outo kesytön polku" tape
New tape is kind of collection of "left over material", bits and pieces that wasn't meant to be actual tape, but it is neat mix of live materials from couple places, including the fantastic outdoor gig they played in Lahti! Special package with dry moss, inserts, tape inside stamped cardboard box. Sold by artists only (= BHM label).

AUGMENTED ATROCITY "In search of something that doesn't exist" CD
Aussaat
Been listening this a lot. I had feeling that there are couple "flaws", one song (perhaps intentionally) blasts louder than the rest, little "glitch" in vocals sound of one track... but really, very good experimental power electroncs.. This is the kind of post-Kovana material, but clearly reaching more into his own sound. You could lump him into tradition of Finn bands who are clearly "power electronics/industrial", but push the sound into their own more experimental direction. Cloama, Strom.ec, Contortus, etc. Not sounding like them, but kind of similar category.

SNUFF "V" CD
F&V
Jeeeeesus christ! Artists wasn't kidding when they mentioned album will be a bit different and a bit challenging! If we known SNUFF from extensive use of high pitch feedback torture, they are taking this to another level. Utterly fierce album that is authentically painful to listen to at times. Kind of Dominator -type ultra high sounds, but also slow repetitive crushing metal junks, slowly developing longer tracks etc.

Hell yes! Really looking forward to this.
I assume, you will have it in FA store as well. I mean, I really love to deal with Mr. Markkula, but as
you already often mentioned, buying in your shop is more easy and comfortable, and it seems I'm slowly becoming an old lazy fart.
Fuck it, but so it is...
