looking forward to listening to that 3"CD.
Listening to it now, it's a live gig and sounds a bit more noisy, first track with quite some feedback, last track (Brainbombs cover, not familiar with that band though) is rather aggressive. Maybe not his best work on this, but definately a nice little extra!

Joseph Hammer & Jason Crumer - Show Em the Door

Outstanding mixture of musique concrete & noise! Scraping, rubbing and thumping, acoustic instruments, loops, tape mangling and occasional human voice. Recommended!

m.

Creation Through Destruction / Black Leather Jesus - Split CD (terror) highly enjoyable
and all the Stiff Sanctorum tapes. all good, especially Hedonic Serge and Tongue Knax.

Matthias

Enklav LP (A Dear Girl Called Wendy)
Quite nice loopbased work from the Sewer Election and Blodvite personnel. Especially enjoyed the B-side.

Edwige LP (Segerhuva)
A-class noise.

Levas

IRM - Anthology - Truly nice compilation. Highly enjoyable

Peter Andersson - Music for Film and Exhibition - hm. didn't watch the video yet. the sounds were decent dark ambient.

Grunt - World Draped in a Camouflage - after each release of Grunt I'm thinking that it's the strongest work to date so one day I'll have to sit back and listen to all of these that I own one by one so that I could decide which one is truly the strongest. But at the moment this seems to be his best work.

Simon Whetham & Friends - Meditations on light - good stuff for the night time listening. -Though names are unknown to me, but the material is nice, calm and not that light.

Sala - Plotina - no more cdrs I said, but couldn't miss this. one of the older Lithuanian experimental/etc projects with people involved in other scenes. what's fun about them is that you can never know what to expect. This time it's humming static drone that gets louder and louder. Quite irritating because either you don't hear it or it's too loud, but well..

Attrition - Invocation - dark meh ambient

Breaking the Will / Nyodene D / SHP 3xCS - wow. awesome release!! Breaking the Will is absolutely the winner of this. Nyodene D is good and SHP is weak, but not too weak. Nice

ARKHE

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - some cd with black/yellow porn visuals. Got it from Release the Bats' ending sae, not that bad actually! Only heard a few mp3s from this project before, was more musical than I expected, more metal.

CONTRASTATE - 'A BREEDING GROUND FOR FLIES' CD

I've never heard Contrastate before but maybe it is unfortunate that this is my introduction to them. Some decent sounding earthy drones in here which are often ruined by awful samples about terrorism, clean electric guitar strumming / picking that just sounds shit and baffling 'song structures'. I found myself thinking "why did you do that" more than once whilst listening to this disc, but I have to confess to quite enjoying the last track - admittedly it's a bit Cyclobe gone pub-rock, but it works on some weird level. I will unfortunately end this review on a negative note though by saying the cover art and oversized packaging is also some of the worst I've seen in a while.

ANENZEPHALIA - KALTWELT CD

This record clicks on with me more on each new listen than the last, though I still can't shake the feeling it lacks some of the power of their earlier material. Despite this it's not a bad album, and Anenzephalia are still part of a small handful of groups that completely own this death industrial sound in a convincing manner. I can see myself revisiting this more than once in the long run.

EMPTYSET - COLLAPSED 12"

Easily this duo's finest release to date and the 12" format works really well for them - nice and punchy. Well sculptured bass hooliganism. Their techno background is transparent but fans of Pan Sonic and Wolf Eyes will find loads to love here.

UP NEXT:

ANDY STOTT - 'LUXURY PROBLEMS' CD
KEVIN DRUMM - 'CROWDED' LP
HAARE - 'RAUTAPILVI' LP

Make certain you include Grunt ‎– Last Grip To Sanity when you do this process.

Right now I am listening to GG Allin and enjoying the fuck out of it.

This week I've been spinning:

Grunt - World Draped In Camouflage - already mentioned how good I think this is and with repeated listens it is absolutely watertight, such a great album.

Brethren - Alienated and Radicalized - more listens of this and it is also really fucking good.

Umpio - Muelas - late to the party on getting this but it's absolutely bang on, love the layering and variety of sounds on this one

Bizarre Uproar - Rape Africa - only one listen and I'm not 100% sold on this yet, it's good and will hopefully be a grower but it picked up for me after the first track

VA - We Gave Them The Future And They Wanted The Past - love this comp, high quality all the way, perfect format, very tight and very good example of the cream of current UK P.E.

Levas

Mania / Hal Hutchinson - Savage Discharge - my oh my. great tape, great material from these junk masters.

Lettera 22 - Native waters - nice release and nice sounds though nothing out of ordinary or surprisingly great

Rumination - weight - enjoyed this one much much more. Just now I saw that this is the same guy from Kakerlak. Some truly nice synth/etc. weirdness. the record that surprised me.

Jason Crumer - First two records on cd - I can't possibly imagine why I missed this. Skipped the news or whatever, but this is harsh noise and even leaning towards PE, greatness. What's the worst album that Crumer has released? I'm truly enjoying everything I've heard from him

McKaras - Psichikos Higiena - lately McKaras has been mostly into modular and other old soviet etc. synths. And it's a pity that this one's just 24 copies of private gifts without any chance of proper release. These are really nice 70 minutes of various droning textures.

Sudden Infant - Ear wash - heh. not quite my stuff, but rather enjoyable I'd say.

Atrax Morgue - No more - this is one mysterious project to me. Never got too much into that stuff. It's good for the morning and sounds are distinctive etc., but I still have to find an album to really enjoy and say "yeah, this is something wow"

Levas

John Watermann - Neurotic Jesus Cash Boy CD - I guess it took me slightly longer to pack and unpack the cd than to listen to it. I think one of the darker releases of his.

John Watermann - Calcutta Gas Chamber - Oh, I like his cynicism - "an intelectual challenge to convert victims into heart-shaped soap" etc. and the sounds are nice in here too.

Contagious Orgasm + Government alpha - Heartsrings - the output was rather unexpected.. I was expecting some harsh noise and it's some rather decent weird cut-up madness. Not bad.

Testicle Hazard - Python in the bowl - Hm. I liked 20 minutes of it, then later on it started to get slightly boring, but perhaps it's the length of the track.. I'll try to listen to it some time later.

Glasgow Smile / Ecoute La Merde - Nice filthy, murky noise. Liked glasgow smile more.

Black Leather Jesus / Ekunhaashaastaack - gh. good, loud dub though the wall of BLJ is not too catchy. Eku... stuff is slightly more interseting, but there are also quite weird and silly parts.

Fungi From Yuggoth - Fungi From Yuggoth - not good, not bad. that's the worst thing about this release. Nothing to say much.

Deprivation ‎– From The Gutter To The Grave - why such a packaging.. The sounds are rather good old-school industrial, but I wanted to listen to it quicker so that I could put that garbage bag into the shelf and that I wouldn't put random garbage in it accidently.

Poena - Likboden - unexpected from mr.ghoulson, but dark and captivative release. Bells, samples, etc. and the atmosphere is very nice.

Terence Hannum ‎– Burning Impurities - enjoyable long droning trips. Both sides rather different, but equally good. Good tape

METHDRINKER s/t LP (d/l)- from New Zealand, pretty good sludge metal but not sure the lp would be worth the $20.

I didn't know you could drink meth.
