VERTONEN "Fait a la machine" + "Machines domestiques" PIC LP + CD-R [CIP/Ratskin]

This is pure Vivenza-worship from start to finish, but I can't really get enough of this. Less muddy sounding compared to the early Vivenza-tapes that has been re-issued on LP recently, but still rough enough.

Just finished spinning this myself. A doozy! Really heady material, and I would have to agree fully with bogskaggmannen on the Vivenza comparison. Will give the CDr a proper listen soon.

Croatian Amor – The World
Very good late night listening. Soft & organic sound, simple and beautiful synth/guitar melodies. For some reason I'm thinking of some of the mellower Coil stuff from 80s/early 90s (?!)

Ahlzagailzehguh – Bypassing Time Passing
Perfect dynamic harsh noise.

Veles – Black Hateful Metal
Q: What would you say is missing from the modern world that the old world possessed?
A: Horses, free food, some diseases, swords. The new world has also some cool stuff like Nazi skinheads, football hooligans, mass murders, LSD...

What a nice review! immediately got me interested in the album!

This album is absolute essential. If there wasn't Darken (Graveland) intros and outros between every track, it would be not only short, but underline the ultra primitivism of album. While more "hipsterized" black metal of modern days is "primitive" often in cool way. Like buzzing guitars, neat overdriven sound etc. Veles is the real deal.

Curiously when album came out it was played in Finnish national radio of metal & heavy music. Funny DJ commented that it appears that album was recorded somewhere in polish bunker with some leftover equipment destroyed by german blitzkrieg (or something like that). Next day meeting friends and it was like "DID YOU HEAR VELES!!! WHERE ONE CAN GET IT?!". Of course No Colours didn't have such wide distribution for title like this in late 90's. You can still get this as LP/CD.

If I recall correctly, they might have played one of absolute jewels of album: Broken Cross!

Earlier stuff is basically tighter and better produced (first album and especially demo). 3rd album was already different line-up entirely.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

New Wendy productions stuff:

Sissy Spacek 7" - intense noisecore. Very much like A.C. going more harsh (perhaps they match that sound on "another" ep). Some of the best traditional noisecore stuff lately. Nothing new, nothing that amazing, but fast, intense, fierce.

Pedestrian Deposit 7" - One side is kind of... 2010+  mutated tape loops, crude scratching noises, cello drones and tonality. Atmosphere and intensity. Other side has also soothing atmosphere despite there is heavier echoing noise besides the lo-fi scratching sounds etc.  I guess I need to remind myself what all PD has done. It gives impression about development like Sewer Election or such.. Moving from high powered crisp noise to audio experiments? Anyways, his another project that started to do "plain" harsh noise was GREAT, so I guess enough to do noise on one thing.

Mental Destruction - Straw.  (Will we ever hear the 'new' material?)

Around the 2003-2004 time frame Ant-Zen were supposed to put out a comprehensive box set that compiled the three studio CD's along with a fourth disc containing a previously unreleased live recording. The project was long on the way, I was asked to provide liner notes which I did, but then it kept getting postponed, and eventually everything was just stalled. If Herr Raubbau reads this maybe he can fill in the blanks?

[Leewar]

Ill probably weep with joy if they ever do release anything.

[Psychosadist]

I listen at the Moment to:

- Deathpile - The First Whore (I love the vocals and the atmosphere, awesome!!!)

[Foyer Second]

Kazuma Kubota "dis-connected" - Great first proper album from the artist. Essential for anyone into hi-fi fast cut-up harsh noise. Work sounds strongly influenced by technics developped by Chris Goudreau, Kazumoto Endo & Kevin Novak and sometimes, one wonder if it isn't a collaboration of the 3 but, hopefully, KK infuses his own mood into the mix. Harsh cut-up at its finest.

Clandestine Blaze "harmony of struggle" - no need to introduce it any further since it is a favourite of 2013 for most. Only got a copy recently while I got a mp3 rip since its release (!). Even if I instantly liked it, I never thought it would be the black metal album that I would listen to the most this year, but it is. Perfectly paced, great mix, great songs and a warmly welcomed diversion from the actual bestial trend cancer (and it doesn't have any screaming baby sample too!).

[Levas]

Vanessa Amara - Both of Us - Decent organ melodies.

Urine Cop - Untitled - ok noisecore.

Kam Hassah - Private conversation vol. 2 - great tape!
