PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Cranial Blast]

Today's list of plays.

Zyklon SS & Xenophobic Ejaculation - Whites Only - Live In Finland CD. An event I'd of loved to been at! What a killer live album, among of some the best!

Intolitarian - Miscege Nation Collapse CD. Perhaps the best Intolitarian yet. Total berserker blitzkrieg! An absolute black/grind/noisecore bashing in the most hateful exhibitions yet.

Raspberry Bulbs - Lone gunmen tape. Every Raspberry Bulbs tape is A1.

My favorite of the listen today definitely goes to Intolitarian for it's great use of Noise, Extreme metal drumming, and vocal terrors! Highly recommended!

Francisco Meirino & Altar Of Flies – Exhausted, We Fall CS (Second Sleep)

Tape music collab from two titans. Very musique concrète focused and a truly seamless collaboration. It doesn't necessarily sound like either artist's project and feels like a true collaboration to become something new. A lot of murky and cryptic voice recordings, radio chatter, tape loops of what sounds like wooden doors thudding, sputtering electronics, and hand-cranked devices. Minimal use of stringed instrument musical samples sprinkled in as well. Feels like tape music alchemy as there is a very surreal, paranormal, and malevolent atmosphere. Sounds like the field recording of a paranormal investigation of a haunted cabin.

Highly recommended!

Zyklon SS & Xenophobic Ejaculation - Whites Only - Live In Finland CD. An event I'd of loved to been at! What a killer live album, among of some the best!

Just listened this yesterday and was surprised how good it sounded. Captures the atmosphere perfectly!

Also been playing Streicher Legion St. George and Annihilism. Although we are talking about basic genre classic, this was actually the first time I heard the whole albums. St. George was especially great in it's crudeness and hard hitting vocals. Those ASRAR LPs were really warped, not sure if they came out of the pressing plant like that or is because of the stockpiling or something.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

That album was recorded with nothing but Zoom H2n, and I was sure that it will totally suck ass, since volume was SO LOUD, that one could barely take it, plus the recorded had moved to entire different place and direction merely due the vibration in room. I was sure it will be all clipping and nothing else. Turned out sound came out really good. No clipping (in recording) and especially with little mastering, clarity and punch is really nice.

Grunt material from same gig was recorded both room + mixer sound, so there is pretty much studio quality sound (material found from Vieraat Aivot CD).

Scatmother – Voodoo Okzident c40 (Desolation Galaxies Records)

Hagen Verkhaner continues his very unique and highly technical brand of PE on Scatmother's Voodoo Okzident. I feel like he is constantly pushing his sound forward into new territories, always sharpening his surgical technical precision. Each release contains a very active and detailed sound palette. Often utilizing synths and metalwork in new or rewarding ways. You can always expect variety and well-thought-out sounds and that's no different here. I can't get enough of this project recently. Great tape!

I also recently discovered his other project, Citalopram Shunyata. The man is so active and productive, that one project wasn't enough! Ordered the Moist Nobility album and can't wait to spin it. From sampling some of the tracks, it seems on par with the best of his Scatmother material.

TAINT: perverse (from the 3cds box set perversion at all costs with S&Q and Con-Dom). Quality filth as usual. Taint just doing Taint in superb way.

PAIN JERK/ARMENIA(split).

I have to admit (personal opinion of course) that this is one of the weakest material of pain jerk. And I love so much pain jerk that is hard to be objective for me about his work.

Been spending a few evenings enjoying some CD releases from Karo Productions; 3 releases with Macromenia and 886VG. Harsh nice stuff that should not be overlooked.

Macronympha - Whorechestra 3CD (Dada Drumming)

Simply sublime, both the content and the package. I have to say that there is something magical going on in these 90's Macronympha records. Original tape sounds phenomenal, really rich harsh noise with layers and small details. Mix is dense enough but not too bloated with bass frequencies. Tracks evolve naturally with good variation in dynamics and sounds. Last tracks with nasty feedback assaults are simply gorgeous!

Got to listen to the other cds when the time is right. Superb stuff.

Macronympha - Intensive Care CD (Self Abuse)

This one here is an prime example of "juhlanoise". I'm pretty dumbfounded by the pure quality of this. This one, with its super sharp cut-ups, intricate metal sounds and no filler-all killer approach, has fought its way into my all time favorite noise top 5. Down to kill from beginning to the end, but not in boneheaded way at all. Seriously recommended.

Mania: armed to the teeth (2008 troniks pacrec).
Still my favourite from mania.
Perfect balance of static, crunch, feedback, junk and sparse vocals.

Finishing off 2023 by listening through the whole 10 CD's of "Archive: 90's Tapes" by Grunt. Fantastic stuff.

[SoonYouHaveDeafEars]

A few recent listens:
Destroy Date - The Teardown Sessions (Abhorrent A.D. 2023)
A previously unreleased noise EP by Ed Giles from Final Solution, originally scheduled for a release 20 so years ago.
This release gives off a "recycled music" quality to it as it sounds pretty blistering and dirty due to tape crunch, as well as the fact that you can faintly hear pre-recorded music in the background as it's being groundpounded by the walls of crunch.
Overall it's a pretty rough but steller noise effort by Ed, I like it!

Knurl / Okkvltismi - Knurl / Okkvltismi (Rural Isolation Project 2023)
Canadian harsh junk meets Finnish occult death industrial, this is an alright split.
Knurl does what does Knurl does best, a lot of steel and scrap metal being utterly obliterated by pedals, fans know what to expect.
I do quite like his third track "Tempered Hysteria" the most with it's screeching feedback being overlapped with intensely scorched junk and rustling bass.
On the flip side, we have Okkvltismi who provides bleak and droning death industrial through the use of heavily filtered guitars and modular.
I most enjoy his second track "Kamadme" where you have these shrieking synths with pounding thumps that echo throughout the track, pretty chilling stuff.

Blackphone666 - Hardcore Call Sounds (Biollante Records 2004)
Short and sweet brutal Japanese harsh noise made using a traditional rotary dial telephone as a sound source.
I love the way he strangles feedback and creates these hyperactive fields of noise that glitch, loop and morph; I dig this a lot.
If you enjoy other Japanese greats such as Pain Jerk, Guilty Connector and/or Scum, you've got to check out Blackphone666 at once!

Cyess Afxzs & Scathing – Sunken Dimension CD (Satatuhatta)

Collaboration I've been extremely excited to check out. Both artists have put out multiple releases this year that I thought were quite extraordinary. Cyess Afxsz with his composed approach and introductions of traditional musical elements on releases like Richter and No Bull One Left Behind. Scathing with highly technical and raucous tapes like Reeking Hordes Of Rubble and Flesh Wreckage.

This meeting up of forces conjures up something new and exciting. There is a great contrast of sounds that is at times fierce and harsh and at other moments, beautiful. There are equal parts screeching feedback and equal parts layered musical melodies. At times there are guitars buried in the mix, metal percussion, and traditional musical elements all utilized to create a dynamic and rewarding experience. However, the album most certainly has its foothold in harsh noise albeit, with a great deal of exploration. The first two tracks showcase a wide use of dynamics, but the 32-minute closing track Mythmaker really stretches the creative muscles and develops gradually while exploring nuance and narrative.

Quite the expansive soundscape and an emotionally evocative album at times as well which is rare for noise. Going to spin this one a lot I can tell and I hope these two continue to collaborate in the future.
