I can't wrap my head around Lamia Vox: 8th rate "satanic" The Moon Lay Hidden.... The interview on HH was embarrassing. Being an occult goth cunt is pure popularity I suppose.
As rumours have it, it's actually her husband who creates and records all the music; and, having seen her "play" "live" once (in February 2010 when Lamia Vox was an opening act for Inade), I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually true. The "performance" was simply embarrassing: one could clearly hear someone at the mixing desk load tracks in WinAmp while she just pretended to do something on her synth; and when she brought on a "shamanic" drum, she couldn't get her hands in sync with the rhythm for about 15 seconds. (Sal Solaris was hardly any better, but for different reasons, though; they, at the very least, produced all the sounds live indeed.)
Not surprised to hear this at all. The whole faux-cult martial/ambient/drone/industrial sphere attracts some real repulsive losers. Claim all they wish about having some deep connection to the unseen elements; mostly I just see image-obsessed queens. Posin' for Satan!

QuoteReally excited for new releases on Wendy Prodz, Järtecknet (Nordiska Ljud), Joy De Vivre, Second Sleep...the glory never ceases!
Same here. I'm particularly looking forward to "A Fidgety and Excitable Engine" by Jeph Jerman, the snippet from side A is especially promising; I just love this particular approach to field recordings when there seem to be several simultaneous streams of sound which interplay with each other in all sorts and manners and eventually become entwined in one inseparable, indivisible whole. Days In Return also sounds really interesting, and I wonder what new angle or territory Amph chose to explore on two new releases. The "Eros" compilation should be killer, going by the line-up.
Never really enjoyed the prior Amph outputs, but
Polar/Mongol was excellent and the samples for these new works do sound rather tasty. EROS will slay, I'm certain of it. Jeph has a discography so vast, all I can do is enjoy modern releases as they come - can't wait! It's probably not even worth a mention, but there's something endearing about listening to real mp3 samples on Second Sleep's site and not Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation, etc... Makes me feel like it's 2000.
Sissy Spacek Harm (Troniks): I feel like this would really appeal to the all the Filth & Violence fanboys on here. High-end, noisecore, harsh noise, absurd. Been a hell of a week with more time spent in the plant than in bed or with my family. Started today off with a long run with the dog, but now I'm standing out back in the field, grilling, drinking my first Stone Old Guardian of 2013 (how did it take this long?!) and blasting my first album of the day out the back door...this on repeat. Fuck it's good!
Hum Of The Druid Societal (SNSE): Been going through the Druid's works lately as they've been collecting dust on the shelf for a while. Not quite as impressive as I used to think they were. This falls more in the field of linear, bass-heavy harsh noise. I do love the artwork though. I think
Frozen Tropics will forever be my favorite. It's replete with variety and impact. This is more like
Skin Graft --- it just
is.
Arditi Leading The Iron Resistance (Equilibrium): They just keep getting better with every album. Less thumping, senseless industrial-esque sounds and more and more cinematic militancy. The track on the
Samhainwork II comp got me digging out some albums for the evening. We'll see how
Marching On To Victory stands in contrast to this once I'm a little sloppy in the moonlit hours.
