PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[Nyodene D]

ART ABSCONs - Der Verborgene Gott LP - incredible neofolk / neoclassical record from the italian group

Methadrone - Sterility - really solid drone metal stuff.  If Jesu had more acoustic guitars and was more minimal

Controlled Bleeding - Music From The Scourging Floor - cool industrial / rock stuff. Hoping they play older stuff when i see them on friday, but this album is good too.

Deutsch Nepal -  Amygdala CD - really great tribal / operatic industrial. One of the underappreciated industrial acts these days

[Levas]

Pestdemon - Helvetsljuset LP (Unrest)
It's been interesting to follow the Pestdemon route from the very first releases to this, the final statement from this Malmö hoodlum. First few tapes didn't do much for me, but then around Vexations things started to get interesting for real. Of the old stuff, im especially fond of the Doppelgänger cassette, but this surely beats the hell out of all the previous outputs. Still need to give this more time but i already think it's safe to say that this is one of the better Swedish releases of 2011. Nice cover with detailed spot-on varnish.

Steel Hook Prostheses (CDr, Nil By Mouth): Can't have too much SHP. Not much different then the other works, except that the second track, and parts of some other tracks, sound more ambient than anything else and it's really good as well.

Uniform - BOIS (C30, Recurring Themes): New Harsh Noise project. This isn't exactly ear-splitting or very brutal, but just decent Harsh Noise. Enough variation to keep it interesting. Some cool metal junk on B-side. Overall, there are some really interesting parts, but the full release doesn't really stick out. I do like the artwork though, looks good. So, this project seems to have potential!

Now that it's Autumn time to increase the black metal in rotation.

Drudkh - Blood in our Wells CD - I haven't listened to this in a while and I forgot how good it was. Really emotive and slow guitar solos and great full but organic production. It reminds me a bit of Floyd at times because the guitars are handled with such care.

Satanic Warmaster - Strength & Honour 2007 Edition CD

Goatmoon - Varjot cassette - parts of this, especially the instrumental track remind me of the first two Enslaved releases. Maybe the most developed Goatmoon album yet? Some of what I had heard about it made me uneasy but there's nothing bad here.

Sick Seed - Guilty Pleasures cassette

[Caltiki]

ENTRE VIFS - Heavy Duty [tape] [Cthulhu REcords, 1989]
PROIEKT HAT - X [tape] [Xn REcordings 2005]

I should get back into that book. Got part way in and put it down for two long.

V/A - Music From The Dead Zone, Vol2 USA (Dead Mans Curve)
Just found this and I think it's really good. A nice mix of goth, synth, industrial. Especially like the tracks from F/1, Corpses As Bedmates and The Haters.
Assault Guard - Amputation Nation (H.A.S.H)
Pornosamples and rumbling noises mixed with some synth (?) stuff. Comparing to his show last weekend I find this more interesting, except for some tracks that doesn't really lead anywhere and get's kind of dull after a while. But overall nice first release.
I look forward to hear more from this project.
Nicole 12 - Black Line (FA)
Constant repeat.

I 3rd this. I get into a NY kick every fall. "Comes A time" is my fave. Also been really into Springsteen's "Nebraska" album,  it basically sounds like Suicide played on an acoustic guitar to me. One of the more nihilistic and depressing classic rock albums ever. Apparently one of the first mainstream rock records to be recorded on a Tascam 4-track  cassette recorder. I just got one of the same that was used on this album, pretty excited to see what improvements I can make with it.

Also, for hard stuff, lots of Grunt and black metal this week.

"Tonight's the Night" is my favourite from NY. That album is a fucking bummer.

"Nebraska" is good every now and then but I can't really get into Springsteen other than that for the most part.
