Pissdeads/Deathwank (7", At War With False Noise Records): Well, noisecore will never be my favourite genre, but I can't help to be intrigued by some of it. And stuff like this split, is nice. When all instruments are audible (and it's not just some muddy mess with screams on top of it) and it does actually sound powerfull and chaotic, that's fine with me.
Race War - The White Race Will Prevail (CD, Micetrap Records): Heard some tracks online (probably after it was mentioned here, not certain) and vocals are really good, while some tracks are very good and others are less interesting. Nice layout as well.
Youngland - Winter Wind (CD, Panzerfaust Records): Honestly, I listened to this on Grooveshark after learning about the shooting and to my surprise, this is actually pretty nice music. Not all tracks are equally great, but I like the variation between the calmer parts and other parts which trash it out pretty good. Funny in a way that it's actually the guy who did the shooting who is singing the track 'Activist or Terrorist'. Talking about being consequent.
Final War - We Speak The Truth (CD, ?): Some nice melodic punk. Don't know too much about this kind of music, but it's nice, with some fun sing-along parts. Somehow I feel I wouldn't be too much interested if it wasn't for the content, but there's something about this whole 'we make fun nice-sounding music about hateful stuff' that makes me like it (well, some of it, most of this stuff still doesn't do it for me), even though I don't exactly agree with a large part of the lyrics.
The Nothing - Tombs of Nothing (tape in oversized case, Obscure Vanity Records): The problem with this kind of stuff is that sometimes, such as the A-side of this tape proves, there's so much deep sounds and not much else going on that even though you turn it up loud, I still don't seem to hear much. Except for what sounds like the tape rolling, so that's not very enjoyable. The B-side however is nice Black Noise. Great layout for this tape.
S.E.X./Unpeace - Noisecore/Major Threat (7", Obscurex?): From S.E.X. I heard the tracks on the Suomi Finland Noisecore compilation which I liked, then I got the Blasphemous Noise CDr (which had a great layout by the way), which was the kind of noisecore I don't like: one mess without recognizable instruments or anything. Good thing his tracks over here are more like the ones on the compilation. Unpeace sounds more chaotic than on the tape, if I'm not mistaken (been a while since I heard the tape). This will certainly get more plays.
With this and the Deathwank/Pissdeads 7" my hunger for noisecore is stilled for a while again, hehe. Looking forward to more Intolitarian material though, especially the split with Nihilist Commando.
Shiver/Sterile Garden - Candle Burning Magic (C40, Diazepam): Shiver starts with a great atmosphere piece, then goes into some slightly harsh part, with some industrial like sounds, later there's a part with some sample. Then later there's a part that's more Harsh Noise, with some atmospheric sounds in the background. So, quite some variation on his side, but all going from really good to definitely enjoyable. Sterile Garden is more drone, variation here too, but I think the Shiver side is the best one.
