Broken Diode-Screaming On the Insidehttps://www.discogs.com/release/961607-Broken-Diode-Screaming-On-The-InsideHadn't picked this up in a while and forgot how good it was.
Pre-Human Larvae project that was focused on a more traditional harsh noise sound. This particular 42 min CDR coming in one of the simultaneously coolest and yet most infuriating packagings I've encountered. Had to resort to a bolt extractor to try and unscrew the bolt at the bottom, which in the end STILL didn't work, but somehow managed to twist the metal bars around the disc enough to be able to get it out.
Well worth it in the end. Feedback, petals, synths, and maybe some organic sounds buried in the mix, that run the gamut from all out aggression to more restrained and tense atmospherics, perfectly invoking the mood of someone doing exactly what the title says. If I had to compare it to anything, it could remind of the ragged, charred textures of classic Skin Crime combined with the manic swings and unstoppable freight train power of Govt Alpha at his best, but this is never derivative. The final track gives hints of Human Larvae to come with some synth loops creating an ominous atmosphere and giving impetus to the higher end assault above.
Seriously stands toe to toe with any great harsh noise release imo. Human Larvae obviously expanded his sound to new heights, but wouldn't mind seeing him returning to this kind of the thing in the future if he wanted.
