PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Ashmonger]

Breaking The Will/Nyodene D/Steel Hook Prostheses -  Industrial - Historical Document One: Tuskegee Syphilis Study (C15, C30, C30 - New Forces): Breaking The Will is Harsh Noise short tracks, not bad, but not great either. Third release I have from Nyodene D (apart from the Caged Dog 7" and Pogrom Tape) and this really makes me think I should check out one of his albums! SHP is SHP and never disappoints me. Nice box, good presentation as well.

Skin Graft - Ill Will (C32, Ratskin Records): The A-side is very good Harsh Noise, some silent parts, while others are very full and rich with sound. The B-side is HNW, good at that, but I was a bit disappointed since the A-side was so good. Will have to listen again.

Pain Nail - Hengellisiä Lauluja No. 2 (7", Audial Decimation): Should listen the first and second part after each other once, but I definately liked this second part! A-side is calmer, B-side is more 'industrial' (throbbing sounds, shouting vocals...)

that MANIA "grim conditions" is just too good to be ltd 13. It's like combination of pretty much PE type "grotesque mirth" 7" reminding shorter pieces with great vocals, and then Coma Detox / Mania LP last track type somewhat stripped down metal junk recordings, but with very good sounds. Power tools? Piercing electronics. High pitched feedbacks. Heavy yet super clear noise sounds. Freak Animal will issue tape version in January...

Can - The Lost Tapes, 5 x LP
Essential for any Can-fan. Quite amazing to think all this stuff was kept unreleased all these years.

Brume - Fractisum, MC
Very nice, as is all Brume that I've heard. Vibrant mixture of electronics and acoustics, digital and analogue, in the typical Brume fashion. Which means it's rather hard to say what it is exactly, heh. Sometimes it's a little hard to put an identity to Brume releases, as there is so much sources, techniques and variation and it can feel like listening to a compilation of outtakes or something instead of a unified album.

G*park - Corpse, MC
Apparently made mostly of sounds of flies around a cadaver's head in the countryside? Buzzing and humming, with a few sudden attacks of more powerful sound. Conceptually nice and not really a bad listen in itself but this is a little weak with G*park's standards that are very high indeed.

Bereft - First degree of separation / removed from security 2xCS. Somewhat very weak release, having in mind that this is Bereft. I think I quite liked B side of First degree.. Other sounds were mainly murky walls etc.

Calligula 031 - Domino A very nice album indeed. I don't know if it's best of his or not, but very enjoyable.

Stosstrupp - s/t - nice little tape. old-schoolish sounds.

2 releases from RONF :

Brandkommando "Pytania O......" 3" CDR
DOR "From the personal fear to the social agony 3" CDR

Both worked for me like one. Great mix of somehow romantic structured PE, especially 1st track of DOR. Maybe it is because of strange usage of synths. Great material from both artists.

andddd...

Satan itself is speaking  - Blood Ov Thee Christ "Behind thee bars" CD - my new audio bible. Awesome lo-fi harsh noise with drunk & psychotic vocals, samples and shit. Masterpiece.

[bitewerksMTB]

Thanks for the review! Mikko offered to rel it which I didn't expect & it never occurred to me to ask anyone. I just figured I'd let it be obscure as I had mixed feelings about the soundwork.

The Vomit Arsonist - Go Without (CD, Assembly of Hatred): Absolutely great stuff (again) from TVA. Got the limited edition, so looking forward to listening to that 3"CD. The patch that comes with it, does look great as well. Recommended!

[Ashmonger]

looking forward to listening to that 3"CD.

Listening to it now, it's a live gig and sounds a bit more noisy, first track with quite some feedback, last track (Brainbombs cover, not familiar with that band though) is rather aggressive. Maybe not his best work on this, but definately a nice little extra!

Joseph Hammer & Jason Crumer - Show Em the Door

Outstanding mixture of musique concrete & noise! Scraping, rubbing and thumping, acoustic instruments, loops, tape mangling and occasional human voice. Recommended!

Creation Through Destruction / Black Leather Jesus - Split CD (terror) highly enjoyable
and all the Stiff Sanctorum tapes. all good, especially Hedonic Serge and Tongue Knax.

[Matthias]

Enklav LP (A Dear Girl Called Wendy)
Quite nice loopbased work from the Sewer Election and Blodvite personnel. Especially enjoyed the B-side.

Edwige LP (Segerhuva)
A-class noise.

[Levas]

IRM - Anthology - Truly nice compilation. Highly enjoyable

Peter Andersson - Music for Film and Exhibition - hm. didn't watch the video yet. the sounds were decent dark ambient.

Grunt - World Draped in a Camouflage - after each release of Grunt I'm thinking that it's the strongest work to date so one day I'll have to sit back and listen to all of these that I own one by one so that I could decide which one is truly the strongest. But at the moment this seems to be his best work.

Simon Whetham & Friends - Meditations on light - good stuff for the night time listening. -Though names are unknown to me, but the material is nice, calm and not that light.

Sala - Plotina - no more cdrs I said, but couldn't miss this. one of the older Lithuanian experimental/etc projects with people involved in other scenes. what's fun about them is that you can never know what to expect. This time it's humming static drone that gets louder and louder. Quite irritating because either you don't hear it or it's too loud, but well..

Attrition - Invocation - dark meh ambient

Breaking the Will / Nyodene D / SHP 3xCS - wow. awesome release!! Breaking the Will is absolutely the winner of this. Nyodene D is good and SHP is weak, but not too weak. Nice

[ARKHE]

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - some cd with black/yellow porn visuals. Got it from Release the Bats' ending sae, not that bad actually! Only heard a few mp3s from this project before, was more musical than I expected, more metal.

CONTRASTATE - 'A BREEDING GROUND FOR FLIES' CD

I've never heard Contrastate before but maybe it is unfortunate that this is my introduction to them. Some decent sounding earthy drones in here which are often ruined by awful samples about terrorism, clean electric guitar strumming / picking that just sounds shit and baffling 'song structures'. I found myself thinking "why did you do that" more than once whilst listening to this disc, but I have to confess to quite enjoying the last track - admittedly it's a bit Cyclobe gone pub-rock, but it works on some weird level. I will unfortunately end this review on a negative note though by saying the cover art and oversized packaging is also some of the worst I've seen in a while.

ANENZEPHALIA - KALTWELT CD

This record clicks on with me more on each new listen than the last, though I still can't shake the feeling it lacks some of the power of their earlier material. Despite this it's not a bad album, and Anenzephalia are still part of a small handful of groups that completely own this death industrial sound in a convincing manner. I can see myself revisiting this more than once in the long run.

EMPTYSET - COLLAPSED 12"

Easily this duo's finest release to date and the 12" format works really well for them - nice and punchy. Well sculptured bass hooliganism. Their techno background is transparent but fans of Pan Sonic and Wolf Eyes will find loads to love here.

UP NEXT:

ANDY STOTT - 'LUXURY PROBLEMS' CD
KEVIN DRUMM - 'CROWDED' LP
HAARE - 'RAUTAPILVI' LP

[Mikerdeath]

Grunt - World Draped in a Camouflage - after each release of Grunt I'm thinking that it's the strongest work to date so one day I'll have to sit back and listen to all of these that I own one by one so that I could decide which one is truly the strongest. But at the moment this seems to be his best work.

Make certain you include Grunt ‎– Last Grip To Sanity when you do this process.

Right now I am listening to GG Allin and enjoying the fuck out of it.
