Abjection Ritual - Futility Rites (CD, Malignant Records): First album of this rather new US Death Industrial album. Pretty good, but I feel like it misses something extra to make a more lasting impact.
Plantation - They Saw It Gleaming There...
Plantation - Demonizing Propaganda
Of Blood And Oak/Plantation - Urban War/An Oak Branch Is Proffered... Then Cast Down
(3 tapes, Vanguard Productions):
Of Blood And Oak is more on the atmospheric lo-fi noise side of things, not bad, but not very good either. Plantation is rather standard PE, but pretty good, with quite hateful vocals. It's described by Vanguard Productions as Radical & Racist PE and that's certainly right. There's quite some sympathy for the KKK, samples of speech about race, police violence on blacks and a song that goes along the lines of 'run nigger run'... I guess for this alone some people over here might appreciate it, hehe.
Stadingers - Deadly Silent Impulse (CD, Death Continues Records): Took me a couple of listens to get into it, since when you don't pay attention it goes by a bit unnoticed. However, when paying more attention what I hear is gloomy, minimalistic Death Industrial and it's actually pretty nice.
Gnawed - Death Certain (C32, Maniacal Hatred): Rhythmic Death Industrial with cool processed vocals. Maybe not his best work (I think that's gotta be Feign & Cloak), but if you like Gnawed, this is recommended.
Of Earth And Sun - A Consuming Fire (C60, Maniacal Hatred): Same style as the album, very good again.
Gnawed - Terminal Epoch (CD, Phage Tapes): Maybe not as good as Feign & Cloak, but this first album is very good too. Gnawed is becoming one of my favourite US PE/Death Industrial acts lately.
Nurture Abuse - Death Camp Starter Kit (C20, Danvers State Recordings): Rather standard PE, not bad at all, not very memorable either...
The Vomit Arsonist - Bridgewater (C40, Danvers State Recordings): Double A side. Tape seems dubbed very silently. But that's the only downside. Starts with slow beats, then goes into the painful/melancholic/... synth + vocals style that's very recognizable and which is, in my view, what he does best. Always manages to pull me into a world of dread I don't want to leave. Then goes into darker PE territory with a cool rythmic throb. Oh, yeah, and the end of the tape is hilarious, not something I expected, hehe.
