Scat-O-Logy

Decided to ruin my morning with the new Shining album. I already knew it would suck but as a huge Shining fan I still had to check it out (something I shouldn't have done). The album starts with kinda old school Shining feel and to my surprise it's like that throughout the complete album... strange decision in my opinion. First track sounds over-compressed to me and I can't but be irritated by the overall production. Famine does his thing perfectly but the music is just dull. Then it's the second track, once again shitty sound quality. Attila delivers his basic, yet interesting, vocals but can't save the track. Third track is just retarded with silly synth sound throughout the track and if I'm not completely mistaken there's even a fucking drum machine in this track (!!!). Next track is with a fag, namely Ghaal, and it indeed sounds gay. Those torturous synth lines feels like having Ghaal's cock up my ass. Don't know his role in this track but I kinda liked the vocals. Music is also quite interesting but once again the sound is just terrible, especially when bass drum kicks in. Black Industrial Misery is an overkill version of the original with Maniac on vocals. Doesn't do anything for me. The last track, Through Corridors Of Oppression, is one of my favorite older Shining tracks and I can't hear too much differences to the original. Nice to have at least one good track on this album but seems like they simply took it from the split 7" with Dolorian.

I'm still in shock... I mean why would they recycle their old ideas when they had good thing going. I know not all of you are going to agree with me but I personally think Shining was on top of their game during Halmstad. From there onwards it has been downhill. Klagopsalmer, Född Förlorare and Redefining Darkness had their stand out tracks but in my opinion they didn't hold out as an album as well as Halmstad. As for this new album, Feberdrömmar I Vaket Tillstånd, I can say right away that this is the end. Now Kvarforth can freely end his misery...

Wold Screech Owl (Profound Lore): Forever my favorite release by this indescribable oddity of socially reclusive lo-fi hatred. The most varied, with cohesiveness, album yet...doesn't derail into 45 minutes of snowfall static or too many song-oriented and rhythmic numbers. Always puts ice in my bones.

S.V.E.S.T. Urfaust (End All Life): They've always embodied black metal in full legitimacy to me; a sound unlike any other, working outside of the confines of consumer metal and publicity stunts, releasing music when the drive and Spirit is there. These are all things lost over time by most. This was the one album that I could enjoy, but could not worship like all their other output. Don't know what it was, but it clicked last night. Like the first time I heard them, the Deathspell Omega split, and some cosmic nerve twitched and all this chaos in my mind tuned in to just the sounds. For those that don't know...how can one describe them? The King Crimson of Satanism? It's just off-kilter and utterly possessed black metal without the slightest reek of gimmick.

Chelsea Wolfe Pain Is Beauty (Pendu Sound): Goddamn this was garbage. A mash-up of all that is trend and little of what made her worthwhile on past albums.

"Chelsea Wolfe Pain Is Beauty"

I listened to a few tracks on youtube & could not figure out why people are so into her work. Just sounds like college rock or something.

Gave the MANIA/HAL HUTCHINSON "Wreckage" cd (Phage Tapes) a listen & it sounds good. Hal's idea of breaking up the kollab. material with my two  solo tracks worked out very well. His track ends the cd with nearly 13 minutes of junkyard destruction. The label should be announcing on his fb, mailing list, etc. soon.

I wasn't that into this release. The idea of them seemed better than the final product.

VA - Pundartugg - Argot Bruit
Excellent.

Prurient - African Division
Been listening to this twice a day for the past 2 weeks, lost count of how many listens.
One word: restraint.

Various ‎- Escaping From Color Rapoon Recomposed & Remixed (amazing compilation!!!)

Ritual

The Rita "Escorting" 3LP
Just listened through all three LPs in a row. I am feeling quite sick today, probably have a fever, and somehow this was perfect to listen to. Didn't make me feel any better, but it kind of sounded like how my head and mind is feeling. Quality stuff!

Developer/Being (C20, Factotum Tapes): First time I heard Developer, which is nice cut up stuff, might have to check out more. Don't own too much of Being, but this is good too, this doesn't sound very harsh, rather slow, but nice sounds, which is the most important of course. This together with the Batter Cages III tape makes me definitely appreciate Being, though the track on the Baculum/Being/Paranoid Time/Wince track was less interesting, I think, though I have to say that whole tape set isn't much to my liking to be honest (second tape being better than the first one though).

Bizarre Uproar - Rape Africa (CD, Freak Animal/Filth & Violence): First BU album I've got and the only other stuff I own is the split with Deathkey, Musta Rotta 7" and track on Hated Perversions comp. This seems different than the other stuff, but I really like it, except for the 2nd track, that doesn't do much for me.

Pain Nail - Magneettinen Kohtalo (CD, Freak Animal): Already liked the two Hengellisiä Lauluja 7"s and the End Times album (though that's been a while since I listened to it), and again this a really nice album. I like both the calmer tracks which have a nearly ambient atmosphere at times and the more ominous ones.

Unpeace - Troops of No Tomorrow (C11, self released): This kind of noisecore where I can feel anger/aggression/... and where it's not all just a blur is the kind I can appreciate. Nice short tape.

Clandestine Blaze - Falling Monuments (CD, Northern Heritage): Really good album. And I've got to say I don't know too much stuff from CB, have a tape somewhere with Fist of the Northern Destroyer and while I liked some of the tracks, it never fully convinced me, and the split with Satanic Warmaster is nice too, but this album is really good, worthy purchase.

Ride for Revenge - The Renegade Temple (7", Ahdistuksen Aiho Productions): I heard a lot of good things about RfR and had heard some tracks on youtube, but wasn't too convinced, but I decided to get this 7", since I like 7"s. And it's nice 'n interesting stuff, but I don't see RfR becoming one of my favourite bands though...

Einstürzende Neubauten - Kollaps (on Grooveshark): Decided to check this out on Grooveshark, at work, a while ago, interesting material, might want to get this. Only the track with the well-known popsong in it, gets on my nerves, hehe.

Institute of Paraphilia Studies DVD: Grunt/Bizarre Uproar: Good music/noise from both. The visuals of Grunt are nice, the pictures are 'beautiful' and the video is interesting, the only thing which I liked less, is that the pictures start to switch faster at the end, it doesn't really seemed fitting in my eyes. The BU gig has a lot of pictures which I had seen before somewhere (F&V related), but still nice in a way. I was a bit disappointed though, thought that this would be the gig with the woman with her head in the bag and the guy pissing in it. Maybe it was, but you couldn't see it anyway. Would have liked to see that, hehe.
