Swollen Korps - Erect in Blood - Like all TF/PE units Swollen Korps is centered around perversion and violence, and like all TF/PE units they do it in the best possible way. Side A is almost mellow for PE/Noise, more like a cold industrial atmosphere with minimalistic droning Noise and some buried vocal attacks. The production is quite lo-fi. Side B is a conversation between Toole and Henry Lee Lucas where they discuss their case and admitting to their guilt, the problem is they never mention what they actually did! It's a tease but it is a good listen if you only listen to it just once.
Clinic of Torture - Whip and Pierce - I'm sure most of you have this so I will spare the long-winded. It basically boils down to three words: perfected, fetish, noise.
Golden Rain - Praise the Whore - So many people suggested this to me but now that I have heard it I wonder why? What did they hear in it that I don't? I've only listened to the entire thing twice so maybe it needs to grow on me. The sounds are good but nothing amazing; a lot of throbbing bass pulses, humming mid-range tones and some well placed crunch, at times there may even be something slightly resembling rhythm. What ruined it for me was the stuttering, ping-ponging vocals which get a bit irritating after awhile. Without the vocals I would actually enjoy this release more than I do now. I'll take a few more listens before giving up on it completely.
