Most intense working time of the year is finally over and I can relax listening to records, something I am doing always more rarely.
In a few words:
Snuff:III CD (Filth & Violence - Untergeschoss). One of my fave projects of the Finnish collective. Each of their record is always better and this is another classic. Power Electronics as it should be, dirty, raw and in your face. Titles are completely in line with what they have been representing since day 1 and this is how we like them.
Snuff: live CD (Filth & Violence - Untergeschoss). I have witnessed the first part of this CD live and is great to have it on digital format. Also the Lathi part rules. Keep on coming!
XENOPHOBIC EJACULATION "Victory" CD (Filth & Violence). After being delighted by the 88 boxset, reprint of classic (I think), second tape. Fierce and loud, tons of feedback and vocal assault. Be warned: Explicit artwork/lyrics, not for Boldrini's CFNM loverboys.
AM NOT: Unpunished CD (Unrest Production)
Superb release of this London based project that mixes structured industrial parts to PE assault. Some pretty original moments that definitely put them on my top 5 of recent discoveries.
Kevlar: Criteria tape (Unrest Production)
I consumed the debut cd-r that definitely dwelled in 90's European PE territories,with (thank God) a personal touch. This tape follows the same step and add much more. I am quite sure we'll hear a lot about them in future.
Grunt – Myth Of Blood (Freak Animal).
Everything has been said it all already and I am not going to repeat it. My favourite record of this first part of the year. (Yet I am still waiting to get Ke-Hil that I am quite sure will be competing for the prize eheh)
BLACK STATE "We Hate Them" (Filth and violence)
I have always been of big fan of all those projects that includes many (realistic/UNPC) samples in their work. UK's mysterious Black State push this concept to the limit and deliver a whole work where recordings from documentaries and news seems to be the main focus. Yet do not be fooled by this statement since the sounds in the background are quintessentials to the purpose. Sound is never ear-splitting yet subtle and intense, diversified from track to track, maybe I would have had them a bit louder, but maybe it was done on purpose. Looking forward for the next releases! Anybody knows more about them?
