Incapacitants - Walk Home (Hermitage Tapes, 7"): First thing I hear from them and while it's not bad, I don't like it too much either (after first two listens), but maybe this isn't the best starting point in their discography?
Trepaneringsritualen - Deathward, to the Womb (Release The Bats, 10"): Very good stuff. Mood music, like someone described it.
Concrete Isolation Box - The Truth of the Streets (self-release, C20): Better than his last demo, I really like this stuff! Good sounds, more on the lower end, some feedback, no vocals, except for samples. I prefer the A-side, but that's mainly because the B-side has some parts with this 'old' music (can't tell which period, I'm totally unknowing when it comes to that) and more acts have done it already and for me it doesn't really add anything. Overall, I think this is his best release up to know. It's probably because of the non-existent promotion, but I think more people might want to check this out.
Wince - Mushed Down Retardation (Joy De Vivre, C20): First thing I hear from Wince, but since I read good things about it and it's related to Grain Belt, I thought I'd check it out. Got to say, that after a first listen, I don't like it too much though. B-side, with it's more bass-drive, subdued sound is better than the A-side.
Baculum - XXY (Phage Tapes, C20): First release I get which comes in an oversized tape box: while it looks good, I don't really see the point in it... As for the music, it mainly seems to consist out of metal bashing with added distortion, especially on the B-side (which is a reworking of the A-side), but there's also extra distortion on the A-side, it seems. Will needed further attention to get a good view on it.
Gnawed - Devolve (Phage Tapes, C24): After his track on the split with RU-486, Disgust and Nyodene D I wanted to hear more. Good thing I got this tape, because this is very good! Better than the track on the split as well.
Mazakon Tactics - Tied to an Endless Refractory Period (Phage Tapes, C20): Second tape I get from this project, after the Submerging into Shallow Waters track from Danvers State. Since it was getting late, my attention seemed to have lowered, however from what my tired mind could catch, this sounded really good. If I remember well, it's also more intense than the previously mentioned tape.
