Poacher - Range Rover on Fire (Adjacent)
Extremely blown out and rumbling harsh noise from this otherwise reclusive LA by-way-of MA star. I really like the sound palette here, as well as the artist in general, but wish that this one had a little more movement to it. It's mostly rumble and crumble, with the best moments coming when the low end draws back a bit.
H.Ö.H – Epäjohdonmukainen (Freak Animal Records)
Drifted off to sleep with this one playing last night, which maybe was not the best choice. It was much harsher than expected! Seems like a very haphazard cut-up affair, just clipping the best moments from a source tape to snipe onto the mix, rather than a meticulously crafted piece. Still contains the high level of quality that I expect from the artist though.
Black Leather Jesus - Torture Machinist (Chaotic Noise Productions)
Ah, holy shit! No wonder this one's considered a classic; so fucking great! I swear any 90s Ramirez project I hear nowadays more often than not leaves me in awe. For me, the highlights here would have to come from all the chaotic vocal work and turntablism that covers a majority of Side B. It's harsh, but also so fucking weird in the best way possible.
Grunt - Installation of Blood & Steel (Industrial Recollections, reissue)
Following the trend of harsh into probably the harshest territory I will go into today. This one is just pure hellfire for 30 minutes nonstop. The flame won't stop burning until the disc ends... excellent.
