PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REVIEWS

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

His lyrics are bad. His voice is awful.

Seems kind of fitting then that he is doing a soundtrack for a movie based on a book by Stieg Larsson whose writing is bad, and whose stories are awful.

I see a lot of talk about this film and the books and on advice from my woman I've avoided it like the plague. I understand it's about a teenager who gets her revenge on a clandestine network of chauvinists, paedos, rapists nazis and other boogeymen of our age. Sounds like fucking Varuhuset on steroids with tribal tattoos. Yes, NIN seems ideal for it.

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

I honestly have no real idea. I just know I must avoid it. The less I know, the better.

[ARKHE]

More or less accurate description of the Swedish films.


np:
MALIGNANT ETERNAL - Tårnet


btw Tommy - completely agree with that. No one comes close to the crushing power of brutal US death metal. The heavy metal equivalent of HNW (equally filled to the brim with meaningless repetition!). Speaking of the US scene, Spanish WORMED fucking kills.

Listening to Crown of Cerberus - "Strength". Great tape, only one go at it so far and I am assuming that I will get a lot more from it after a few more, the last COC tape didn't start to get great until about 4 or 5 plays in. Doing an interview with Mack about this project and his label, watch for that on Pure Stench.

Yesterday returning home after a hectic first week of school:

Henning Christiansen - Symphony Natura
Vintage fluxus sound art from fellow Dane, quite enjoyable.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. 85-92
Opposed to Vol. II which flows more like and album, this definitely has a compilation feel to it. Some really great tracks on this. Still prefer the second I believe.

Nuclear Death - Carrion For Worm
Totally and completely over the top. Beyond compare of any kind.

This mornings much needed extensive homecleaning session:

Angel Corpse - Exterminate
IMO some of the best Death Metal ever. So furious and intense. The flanging part in one of the first tracks and the closing song is the highlights of the album.

Organized Resistance - Day Of The Rope
Lately I've found myself not enjoying the full-on PE approach like I used to. This still is well-crafted and solid and a personal favorite of the "style". Some pretty cheesy moments, but in the end I feel they add to the overall atmosphere of the album.

Maurizio Bianchi - Mectoyo Bakterium
Perfect soundtrack for the last stage of cleaning, the toilets!

[Bleak Existence]

Mania - Armed To The Teeth

[SiClark]

Have been listening to STAB Electronics - Non Alliant II a lot recently, a superb second half of the album. 'Fucking for the Duc' is a real stand out track. Has anyone else got this yet?

Really annoyed I missed this tape, it was released at a time when I was broke, hopefully a copy will turn up on Discogs.

A Snake In The Garden - Paralysis And Leaving The Body - Tape (Brise Cul)
A Snake In The Garden - Tunnel Of Blinding Light - ASITG-Self-Release

Really kicking myself for not checking this project out long time ago. Great material all around.

Arv & Miljö - Förändringens Frö - Tape (Järtecknet)
Arv & Miljö - Öppna Vattendrag - Tape (Posh Isolation)

Gotta spin those a couple more times - seems more like rough sketches so far - really, really lo-fi stuff. Öppna Vattendrag kinda seems more "round" - for lack of a better term.

Iron Pillar - Whipping Post -Tape (Järtecknet)

This one has really grown on me a bit. Similar lo-fi approach but more direct and to the point while remaining interestingly narrow.

Haunting Presence tape
Embrace of Thorns new LP
Teitanblood 1-sider
Mania/HH collab tracks

*Malignant Rec's has that Hospital 2xtape comp for $15 instead of the $25 the label is asking. Just got a copy in a trade but havent listened to it. $15 is more like what the price should be...

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

Just finished watching the God Blast America DVD. It's worth buying for the Operation Cleansweep set alone. Such a dense and vicious performance.

[Nyodene D]

I enjoyed that a lot too, but was bummed that only excerpts of the G.O. and Anenzephalia sets were included.... was hoping they'd be on there... oh well, someday soon perhaps? i've heard it was because of sound issues that they werent included...

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

Most things on there are good but OC stands out. I also heard something about how the recording/filming got fucked up. I assume that's why this wasn't released much sooner. Glad they did though. There's hardly a shortage of GO on video out there.

Today we bid farewell to Jimmy Castor who checked out yesterday. So long Jimmy!

Yea? That's a shame. Troglodyte is a damn great song.

Ordered. Thanks for the tip! I have been eager to hear this one, but there is no way I am paying 35 bucks for a double tape (which I am sure is on normal grade tape...) $19 w/ shipping is far more reasonable.
