Ferro Mortem - Live in Chicago
Have been on an endangered species kick the past couple days and this group has always stood out to me. It's beyond difficult to tell what's being said, what the meaning is, what the art is trying to convey etc...and this isn't a bad thing. everything I've heard from these guys just seems wrong, like I really shouldn't be hearing it or looking at it. Their "studio" output is minimal and it seems like the live appearances sparse as well, which is probably the best way to describe this tape. It's minimal, droning and muddy. I can tell there is vocals but as for what's being said? No clue. The quote on this tape might give some insight to the ethos behind it all. "Vision without Action is a daydream. Action without Vision is a nightmare."
Apparently there is a final release coming this year from a label I greatly admire. Don't cry because it's over, smile because you get a new tape on the shelf.
