BEING "No Honour among thieves" tape
Fuck... well, those who have read the "new harsh noise topic" may notice how damn late I was to discover this. Not that I wouldn't have it, but that tapes just happened to get buried under lots of incoming tapes and somehow not really standing out visually from everything else to climb on top of "to be listened" piles...
Starts with crackling and very broken fierce electronics and then hits the full on harsh head noise blasting. Sound often so loud/big, that it hardly comes out of speaker. Kind of broken and rugged form of sound what makes this much better than a lot of "clean" harsh noise (weird term, I admit..). Supreme stuff! I wonder how come no label have done BEING LP or CD? Or have they? Maybe I should check discogs if I'm totally out of the loop nowadays....

[Scat-O-Logy]

Regarding Discogs the tape is actually titled "Battery Cages III" and I also checked the discography, there seems to be only CDr's and bunch of tapes. I'm tempted to check Being out. I might have to order something soon...

[FreakAnimalFinland]

ah, yes, that's the title...

And more harsh noise of today is:
K2 "quaking earth" tape
First thought that little bit weak compared to Being what just exposed the winning hand, but despite few kind of wanky or weaker moments, there is no doubt that K2 still delivers. At its best, its dynamic, brutal and energy filled harsh noise that offers nothing revolutionary, but still stands out in his own discography quite well! One can appreciate that K2 will not submit into rehashing what he is internationally known for (metal junk harsh noise), but proceeds his artistic vision into new approaches.

Bleak Existence - one step forward, two steps back

[Ashmonger]

Mania - Grim Conditions (C20, Freak Animal): Nice little tape, 4 tracks, don't really know what else to say.

Tourette -  Brûle Mon Ame, Broie Mon Corps; Remodèle-Moi A L'image D'un Chien (CD, Skeleton Dust Recordings/Phage Tapes): Another great Tourette CD (already had the Jardin Du Sommeil... CD). Ambient/Neo-Classical pieces, which are great in itself, torn up with chaotic clear Harsh Noise. Very good.

Phaeton Dernière Danse & Le Syndicat - Théophanie à Visu (CD, Pure): Didn't really like this at first, but after a couple of listens I'm starting to appreciate this. Have to admit that I don't know too much about this kind of Industrial/Experimental music though.

S.E.X. - Blasphemous Noise (CDr): While I don't like too much noisecore, I quite liked what I heard on the Suomi Finland Noisecore compilation. This on the other hand sounds quite different and is the reason why I don't like a lot of noisecore. If noisecore is short outbursts of high energy, I most often feel that energy doesn't reach me because of the very poor sound. I want it to sound like a stomp in your face, but just a short blur doesn't do that for me...

Bizarre Uproar -liha evankeliumi

[RG]

Ke/Hil - Lessons in Brotherly Hate tape
Really great tape. I think I like it more than the album, actually. Sharp, intense live sound and equal or better sound quality than any live G.O. or Anenzephalia material I've heard. Minimal but effective use of samples. Side 1 is good but Side 2 is where this tape really kills. Black Snow into Sine Die is probably my favorite part of the whole recording and the rest of Side 2 just rolls over you in waves until the finale.

You can definitely tell from the audience noise on the tape that it was a great and appreciated performance. Wish I had been there.

Agreed. I like live recordings with good crowd noise (as long as it doesn't interfere with the music). Makes for a better listen

BIZARRE UPROAR "Kusi Paska Veri" video

[Levas]

Quite a big pile of stuff that I've listened to lately

Dusa ‎– Segermännen - this is a real discovery for me. I lack words to describe how good and moody this tape is. Should I call it funeral folk or so? Most recommended release. Buy it while you still can!! I see that K. Olsson has also took part in it. (for those who needs names in order to know if the record is good or not)

Tusen År Under Jord ‎– Sorgsendömet Fobos - A little simpler approach, but nevertheless great compositions. It is also the same unknown style a la funeral folk for me, but it's catchy. So go to Hibiskofon page and order these two tapes. You won't regret..

Sutekh Hexen ‎– Breed In Me The Darkness: The Second Coming Mixes By Andrew Liles - decent tape, but didn't quite understand it fully and thus didn't enjoy it too much.

SPK - Case study London - never been too much into SPK, but this live disc is really good.

THU20 - Vroeg Werk - Double CD of live and studio experiments. I think this was described as one of the compilation of the greatest Dutch experimentalists or something like that. Well, enjoyable record.

Kasoundi - Clintong Green & Andrew McIntosh - decent musique concrete, but for me it seemed that all tracks were a little too similar in sound. Very simple approach in experiments, though I was not very excited about it.

Ethic Cleansing - For Motion Sickness And Refuse - this one is very good. Very dense and heavy material.

Then i had some grindcore and some metal.

I liked:

Anal Cunt ‎– Morbid Florist CD
Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis ‎– Satyriasis And Nymphomania CD <-- this band is truly a discovery for me in grindcore.
Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis / Butcher ABC ‎– Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis / Butcher ABC CD
Exhumed/Haemorrhage split live tape
Absurd - Asgardsrei tape

Was OK:

Pene - Sexy Impalement CD

Didn't like:

Stillbirth - Plakative aggression CD
Anal Asthma - Shit out your brain CD
Anus Tumor / Slaughtergrave tape

[bogskaggmannen]

Dusa ‎– Segermännen - I see that K. Olsson has also took part in it.

Kristian only made the room recording, and had no part in the music.

ah. thanks for correction. I just saw his name listed on discogs since it does not say anything on the covers I think.

Three Winters - The Atrocities EP - this one is really nice, melodic synt something music. easy listening and the most catchy from the latest batch of Belaten

Cryme - Mekonium - it says something about industrial for "special" people (meaning retarded ones) and it really had some good parts in it. Don't know what to compare them to though. Old schoolish industrial sounds.

Xiu - Posession - it's some sort of synth pop, reminding of older gothic dance parties. Kind of catchy in its absolute primitivism.

Jarboe - A simphony for shiva - hm. long tracks of looped sea sounds, voice etc. A little too long for not to become boring.

Father Murphy - Orsanti They Called them - I've been very excited after the first two Yerevan Tapes. This one is a little let down. Didn't quite understood the record. Somewhat abstract avantgarde soundscapes without much of a purpose.

I reminds a lot of mid-eighties Swedish bands like Njurmännen and others around Konduktör Records. Good tape!

MB : teban slide art 3xcd ......imho MB at his most violent, blasting raw oldschool pe. although without his consent i think the nazi-parts really fit the mood. excellent. flimsy dvd-box but at least they were real cd and not cdr (as MB still manages to release on cdr).

Didn't know about this, thanks for mentioning it, will try and get a copy soon. The story about Come Org adding all the nazi parts always makes me laugh, I certainly wouldn't be too pleased if that were to happen if I made any music but it always makes me smile when I think about it.

http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=226.15 for my thoughts on this set.

Ramleh - Live Valediction DVD/Live Anything Is Mine CD

They have put a lot of effort into mastering this, even down to the strange editing out of applause on the DVD footage. The visuals really aren't too exciting, although Anthony pulling a rock star pose with shades as he straps on the bass for 'Valediction 3' was memorable. I wonder if they cheated and overdubbed/corrected any of this later in classic 1970s 'double live album' style? It's very powerful music, taken from two separate shows (with different set lists) in Japan in December 2011. Pricey and rare item but as luxurious as you could wish for - matching packaging to the Guidelines CDEP.
