Pretty much everyone around black cilice is pure fucking gold but two that stand out for me are Vetala and Forbidden Citadel of Spirits. Absolutely crude, lofi, utterly chaotic black metal. Both bands sound like the members have no idea how to actually play their instruments. It all sounds improvised and recorded on shitty tape deck. Its all so awesome.

Another one is Astaroth from Australia. I can guarantee that most people who hear their LP Real Hate are completely off put by just pure, well, shittyness and sloppyness of it all. Its one band whose material you have to actually buy cause its almost impossible to track down as mp3s or so. Just buy their stuff and regret wasting your money, hah!

As for my personal playlist, mostly Babylon Whores. Completely addicted to this band. Love it. Cant stop listening.

You may enjoy these if not already familiar:

S.T.A.B. Electronics - Day Of The Male (CD, Unrest Productions): First release of S.T.A.B. Electronics I get. Fits very well in the Unrest roster of course, Industrial PE, with good rythmic synth throbbing (is that the right way to describe it? I really suck at this). Vocals aren't my favorite though and I'm not certain if it's the effects which are used or the delivery itself...

Straight Arm Salute - Pelkkää Vihaa (CD, Europa Erwache): More Power Electronics than the former Martial stuff and it's better. The 1st album and split with Stormheit were good too, but there was a bit of cheesiness, that's lacking here. That writing about Pure Hatred in combination with the lyrics about killing niggers, jews, lefties, race traitors... made me chuckle though....

the continuing obsession of the Rita with ballet-dancers, dancing, legs, feet, etch
sounds on first listens are complex and interesting
postage from USA dreadful.

a little something more and obvious about G*Park...

Since my last post, I listened to 15 and Gour.  I wasn't impressed by 15, but Gour is a very decent album.  As maybe to be expected, and not all that uncommon, those early tapes vs new material is playfulness and exploration of tools and a flood of new territories vs honed skills and focus.  The discarding of the traditions of music into full-on sonics.  The sophomore vs the PhD.  Experimentalism in a broad sense vs acoustics and field recordings.  I reckon that is inevitable, but that's not to imply a loss.  He was great and still is.

Here the list of that for a long time lodged in my playlist for the last weeks:

Scatmother "Flowers Of Maltreatment":

Yeah, I think that it is one of the best new power electronics projects in recent years! Very powerful and brutal sound, absolutely atypical for the German PE scene, a angry vocal and perfectly picked up samples. Simply killer release.

White Nigger "Negrofil":

Project of people from Forza Albino, as wrote at this forum, "sounds as though Broken Flag's power electronics meets noisecore", and I completely agree with it! Crude mad noisecore with feedbacks abundance which will force you pissed your trousers. I adore it!

Forza Albino "Black Dog":

If any told to me that this album is recordings about 20-25 years ago, I sacredly would believe in it. Magnificent raw power electronics in total old school sounding! Very much I want to buy it on vinyl from Freak Animal, a tremendous album.

Mutilated Slut "Acid Attack":

I adore Hal Hutchinson and I adore old school harsh noise / power electronics, so this tape became the real find for me. Long intensive lo-fi noise will remind to you of early days of the American noise school.

Xenophobic Ejaculation "Black Hole":

Here, I think, without comments. Great group and magnificent new album! As always it is tremendous!

November Novelet "World In Devotion":

I am the old admirer of Galakthorrö, very much I love their concept and their esthetics. This album simply takes breath, very qualitative and magnificent.

Alfarmania & Proiekt Hat "Mardrömd Dödsström":

Incredibly powerful release on the atmosphere. Obeys in an trance. Very unkind and grim sounding, as though a soundtrack to any movie. Simply perfectly!

Sutcliffe Jügend & Prurient "End Of Autumn":

Very interesting collaboration, quite atmospheric and deep on sounding. Very much I love Prurient and Sutcliffe Jügend separately, therefore "End Of Autumn" could not disappoint me!

Född Död "Studie I Närhet, Längtan Och Besvikelse" / "On Ne Mozhet Lyubit Tebya Bolshe":

Most "girly" and "hipster" project in the list, hah. But it sounds perfectly! Lo-fi electronics / synth pop, sad and cold. Some moments sound as Burzum of times of ambient albums :) . Burzum meets Crystal Castles, hah! Also there are texts in Russian, and without any accent, thanks to what I draw a conclusion that the girl vocalist is the Russian living in Sweden. Causes pride of Russia, ha-ha, though my country made something well)

Haters / Hal Hutchinson "Xylowave / Amplifaction II":

80 minutes of of old school noise from from Haters and and intensive metal junk from HH! Fucking LOVE it!

Kommando R.J.F. "Sweet Slow Suicide":

Return of a legendary Swedish project from the 80th, after 30 years of silences, this time with the participation of Kristian Ollson and Tommy Carlsson. It turned out as if there did not pass these 30 years, as though this release a sort from the 80th. Perfectly.

Young Hustlers "Encaged":

New opening from Sweden, obviously promising formation! With interest I will wait for their following releases!

Zyklon SS "Iron Division":

As I already wrote, I differ passionate love to HH, but ZSS is separately in this list because long ago there was no such cool project! An improbable album, also appear it in the middle of the 90th, I think, could even eclipse such giants of that time as Genocide Organ and Operation Cleansweep :)

White Heterosexuals "Modern Heterosexuality":

Very cool old school PE from States, but now it seems does not exist :(

Also I want to tell that very much I want to listen to Sadio / Prurient, Sadio / Caligula031, HH "Industrial Developments", it is sure that they would fill up this list :)

G*Park - Reuters 2008 - if Hands To was recording on the quarterdeck of Nurse with Wound's Salt Marie Celeste ship in a bathtub during an electrical storm (ie someone dropped the hair dryer in the tub); see "Knar" - or a twisted detailing of percussion played on working millstones - or plucking giant galvanized metal exhaust fans like a harp; see "Icen" - I don't know, but this is strong and organic; chock full of depth and ambiance - RECOMMENDED.
G*Park - Seismogramm 2008 - it took me a little longer to sink into this one - reminded me, at times, of something like  Walter Marchetti's Per La Sete Dell'orecchio; organic and deceptive.
G*Park - 911 2012 - as in 2011-09-11 - untouched field recordings sewn together in a single 35-minute piece.
G*Park - Corpse 2012 - liked the second side better than the first - felt like two comp tracks thrown on a tape.
G*Park - Yack Park 1993 - a more subdued album - good feel - the title always throws me off.
G*Park - Geopod 1995 - such a greatly attractive and captivating album - one of those albums best at low/moderate volume to screw with the senses.
Herbst9 - Usumgal Kalamma 2011 - not the biggest fan of where Herbst9 has gone in the past few releases.

In general I really have to be in the mood to listen to them. Probably why I never got past the debut album and the Z'EV collaboration one. Where did they drop off in your opinion?

did my laundry today at Laundromat.
hums, whirs, tones gallor with occasional beep or click.
not sarcastic entry but reminder of my acid fuelled student life where this was the ultimate non music to me.
and I got my laundry done!

I gave The Gods are Small Birds, But I am The Falcon (2008) a listen.  That's a relatively solid album. The tribalism and quasar occultism are still in good taste, but I think it was "And Everything Around Him Answered" that reminds me of the newer feel.  It's almost like what you'd hear on a not-good Steve Roach album (and there are some very good Steve Roach albums).

G*Park - Sub 2013 - last of the G*Park listening for a while... - lots of really good material here, but the first track, and then one of the tracks off the 2nd CD, are why I remembered not liking this as much as several of the others; common techniques or styles that I don't like to hear anywhere, and here they were - the final track of the set is more of that deep quarterdeck recording like what I so fondly associate with Reuters.

Hal Hutchinson - Mangraft lp (Urashima 2016)

Scratching metalworks by Hal Hutchinson. Three tracks on a-side recorded 2016 sound very, very dry. Perhaps a bit thin, perhaps a bit slow in motion but very pleasingly dynamic, distorted sound. On b-side we have a side lenght title track from 2012. Heavier, less distorted sound, but basicly quite much the same. For those into banging metal sounds, this album should work well. Vinyl pressing also is most excellent, not a single unwanted sound here.

Alfarmania & Proiekt Hat - Mardrömd Dödsström lp (Tesco 2016)

The first time I hear material from Proiekt Hat, apart from some odd track on some v/a-comp. Albums starts by lengthy track with repeating bass rumble, some echoing sounds moving behind it. Fairy traditional power electronics approach, though no vocals here. After the opening, things get more gloomy, near ambient and ritualistic. Third track then is like mixture of two previous, with dirty bass rumbling, occasional feedback, someone wailing from far beoynd and slow ritual percussion hitting every now and then. The track evolves into ambient and next begins with low bass again. All in all, apart for the most ambienty track, Mardrömd Dödsström offers a nice dirty power electronics / lofi death industrial.

Bizarre Uproar / Sick Seed - split 7" (Filth and Violence 2016)

Surprisingly it took until 2016 before gentlemen Markkula & PPT got their, I dare say, main projects on same record. Both perform classic dirty Finnish power electronics, much more straight forward than on their latest records, but due both being duo lineup, I assume material here is fresh and not from archies. BU starts with junk metal, then feedback, almost like a loop. Vocals very low in the mix. SS has well noise driven, feedback attacking track with PPT's trademark vocal entering at the end of the track. Overall very nice split if you're into 2000s Finnish power electronics. I would like to see both artists performing more material like this.

Liebestod - Beta Male lp (Chondritic Sound 2016)

Heavy electronics. Dark mood. Both industrial and atmospheric material. Shortish tracks and short album, makes it a good listen, especially as tracks flow nicely from one to other. Sound is clear and sharp. Could be on my top list of 2016.

BLACK CILICE - summoning the night

probably the best black metal act since many years

raw and low-fi . dark and mysterious. something of Darkthrone of Transivanian hunger and something of Xasthur.

got a recommendation on an album to start with? I like the sound of Darkthrone meets Xasthur

Though mostly similar to Xasthur, I'd also recommend Moon from Australia. I've been going through the discography and it's all been quality thus far. I started with Melek Taus, which is a compilation of demos and split tracks.

yeah great stuff, but impossible to find on vinyl.. unfortunately i couldn't grab a copy of Melek Taus.
