Snippets of noisy and good industrial sounds. Sample of the new CD sounded even better.
the cd is one of the best things i've heard this year so far. highly recommended

Wow, thanks.

Beretta 70 CD (Crippled Dick Hot Wax)
This one NEVER gets old. Collection of themes from the Italian police films of the '70s. The best summermusic ever. Tracks like Life Of A Policeman makes me want to get insanely drunk on J&B and go out for some serious bag snatching.

Lust For Youth - Growing Seeds LP (Avant!)
More polished follow-up to the debutalbum from 2011. More direct. A natural progression, especially with the last couple of shows in mind. There is a few tracks I could have done without, but Always Changing and Behind Curtains are on the other hand by far the best stuff LFY has ever done.

Jason Crumer - Let There Be Crumer still on constant rotation as well.

Concern - Misfortune LP

Shame that this LP is the last bit of material from this project
didn't know he was wrapping up concern, pity. i've only got truth and distance which i haven't listened to in a good while but i remember liking it a lot. gonna dig it out now again actually. must check out the new lp. so what project is he primarily concentrating on now?

Its a project that will be involving Gordon and his brother. Didn't hear any names, or any labels mentioned. Gordon's works always surface though, he slays.

I'd like to hear another sample or two of the CD. What I heard was interesting, but something about it also makes me hesitant to pick it up.

Incapacitants - Mon, Ma? Mon!!!

Great new Incaps disc - fucking love it!

Beretta 70 CD (Crippled Dick Hot Wax)

I don't have that one but I do have another Italian crime/police cd compilation. I think it's in a slipcase with small lobbycards for each film. Same label did a similiar release with giallo films. Use to get those rel's from Xploited Cinema- man, that site was a goldmine! Wish he was still around.

IRON FIST OF THE SUN - Tears Royal (Unrest)

Don't know exactly what the obsession with princesse Diana is about (royalist, anti-royalist, or less obvious...?). Should probably listen again more closely, since the vocals are mixed so incredibly high, far from the "hidden under rubble and dirt and tons of effects" approach of several others. I appreciate that, esp. on the opening track, which was also distributed on Soundcloud. The tracks - eight or nine of them - sound deceptively simple, without losing character. There is something with them, more than their brevity, that makes them stand out as proper songs, rather than chunks of recorded & mixed noises. It's in the details, just as the packaging - layout is simple, but great. Info printed not only on the spine but also in the top of it, for example. This work is thoroughly made. Impressive. Have yet to delve deeper into it and the Hal Hutchinson lp.

Further listening:
MASTER'S HAMMER - Jilemnice Occultist
OCCULTATION - Three and Seven (Negative Plane side project, guitarist with two women on bass/vocals/drums - sounds exactly like NP but more gothic rock than black metal. Exactly the same riff style - makes you wonder what the point of this band really is? Still, great songs.)

step-by-step going through f&v package:
Halthan cd .... i must confess H never 100% comvinced me , it was ok/not bad but that's it. now this album is a HUGE step imho. more mature? heavy & loud ! great sampling, really like the vocals. SOLID.

Peenemünde cd ....dark and very very ugly industrial, buzzing, rattling, junk, noise, ...i even hear a saw? again : ugly !

Caligula cd .....wow, the theme, the samples, rather original pe. lots of replay ahead!

Hijokaidan "Noise From Trading Cards" CD
Supreme. If i must select just one Hijokaidan piece, well it would be "What a Nuisance!"

Pain Jerk "V" k7
Solid tape from '97. Some amazing moments of a rare brutality. Thank you Mr.T.K.

T.E.F. "Consequences in Conversation" CD
On the top of playing list since it was released. Can't get enough of this masterpiece.

Merzbow "Merzphysics" 10xCD boxset
Nice collection of golden era unreleased stuff. CD5 and CD6 are simply great. A lot of "filler" material is present anyway. I do not complain though and i appreciate the choice of keep the original tapes unaltered and presented this way.

Con-Dom "Have Complete Faith" CD
Another gem on constant rotation here. 2 versions for my alltime favourite Con-Dom track "Jesus Penis" present, one of which never released before.

Incapacitants - Sec End
Already read about how this was a truly 'harsh' sounding disc and I absolutely agree. Something about the frequencies and the sharpness of the sound makes your ears bleed. Fab! Truly atrocious artwork btw that I cannot help but love.

Cracksteel - Bitch Jap Run
Pretty solid shit with a 'wallish' quality, what happens mainly does so in the background and overall it's mainly fairly static crackling and rumbling textures that sit in the foreground. Can't really find fault with it but a little too slow and lethargic for what I'd like at the moment.

Pain Jerk/Incapacitants - Live at No Fun Fest
Now this...! WOW! For some reason I have never really had a click with Pain Jerk even if I have & have heard some of his work. But the track is absolutely mindblowing imo. Truly exhilirating, fast, energetic and harsh sound - and then to think this is even only an excerpt? Must've been a thrill to be there! Incapacitants track is fucking solid - I have yet to hear a so-called 'live' recording that I don't like. The evident acoustics, the wails and screams, the high-frequency emphasis, it's exactly what I love about these sets. Great, great, great title too! Fantastic disc!

Incapacitants - Extreme Gospel Nights
Possibly the best thing in the entire box, I think. Some of the most energetic Incaps material I have heard. Especially the A-side blows my mind, lots of great screeching, fantastic shrieks and screams and so! fucking! fast! ACE!

sort of sounds like Haino is paying homage to Ginn through East Bay Ray's gear.

Halthan - I Am Your Enemy (CD, Filth & Violence): This is a strange one. Last Friday I took it to work, because I had to drive around, it was the first time I heard it and looked forward to it, and I didn't really like it. It's quite different from the previous releases I heard, harsher, obviously. On Saturday, I had to go somewhere and wanted to listen to some Death Metal in the car, but being in a hurry, I ended up taking a CD which was within arms length, so I listened to Halthan again. And this time I already liked it way better. So, when I want to listen to it, I don't like it, when I don't want to listen to it, I do like it, strange, huh?! Hehe. Or maybe, it might be because most probably there's more bass in my car than in those from work. Or maybe I had to get used to the new style a bit. Anyway, upon liking it better the second time I definately look forward to listening to it again. Also, that last track is really nice, with the organ.

Nyodene D - Pogrom (C30, Phage Tapes): This is really good! Lots of metal junk, electronics and good vocals. Don't know what to add, except for: how does this compare to Every Knee Shall Bow?

Ladyboi Biopsy (C30, WGM Tapes): Listened to this again and I really like the A-side, but the B-side is less interesting. Anyone else got any comments on this or other works of Ladyboi Biopsy?

Puce Mary "Piss Flowers", TAPE (Posh Isolation)
On this cassette we are treated to muddy industrial noise from the deep reaches of Copenhagen. The tracks have a natural flow; rhythmic at times, occasionally quite subtly, and sometimes more tumultuous. Constantly in motion. Several layers are implemented, suiting each other nicely, maintaining that gritty, analog feel, utilizing both rumbling bass sounds and screechy distortion. The tracks on side B appear to blend together at some point, but I cannot discern where. This side of the tape is without doubt the more violent one, but it is not in an in-your-face manner. It has a more dim and grimy quality. If I could sum up this release in a mere three words, they would have to be: gritty, restless and obscure. A solid effort. Much appreciated.
