[Ritual]

Laxative Souls "Twist and Decease / Disinfektionsraum" 2CD (Trash Ritual)
Cold, harsh industrial that noone seems to make anymore. Simple, but powerful. Great stuff! I've been meaning to hunt down some old tapes for a while, but this CD re-issue was a lot easier to get hold of. And you get a lot of value for the money.

OVER s/t tape on No Visible Scars; lim to 25. droning synth loop over spoken word about a rather interesting family life: violence, sex, hatred. Very interesting.
SICK SEED recent tape on Freak Animal; great metalwork. lots of variety for sounds/styles. need to give it another few listens. artwork makes me wish this had been a LP so the art was larger & i didn't have to drive to listen (same for OVER as you really ahve to pay attention to what is being said).

MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA / NIMH - From Unhealthy Places. good new stuff

[heretogo]

v/a - Snatch Paste - An Assortment Of Snatch Tapes LP
I guess the best word for describing this stuff is "charming". You know, nice homegrown lo-fi sounds combined with clear youthful enthusiasm. I'm not a big fan of the 80s synth-pop sound but even those elements don't really bother me here. It all flows effortlessly and smoothly, very much my kind of compilation, nothing stands out too much from the rest.

Street Drinkers / Skeppet - split LP
What is with Sweden these days? So many good/great projects coming out that it's difficult to keep up. Skeppet is more laid back, simple sparse beats + some soft psychedelic atmospherics laid on top. Doesn't blow the mind but surely is tasty. Street Drinkers borders on the ominous but still keeps it fairly melodic & comfortable. Last track reaches all the way up to majestic but stops before getting there. Ättestupa comes to mind at times, I guess there is some shared personnel. Nothing complicated or extremely ambitious, just very nice late night music. Goes well with red wine.

I'm in Sweden and I don't know what you're talking about. To me, the situation is quite the opposite.

crybaby, we left the 90's a few years back, might be wise to accept that, haha! do you even listen to the new stuff that gets released? i just find it hard to take your post serious when there's so much good going on now...

raspberry bulbs - lone gunman cs (better than expected, wasn't too fond of the debut tape).
killer bug - brutal rainbow cs (great harsh noise, what else to expect!)
chop shop - powerdrunk cs (amazing soundwork...someone should step up and do a complete discography boxset of chop shop. for real)
misery - who's the fool lp (crustified amebix worship. love this lp)

Sewer Election & Altar of Flies.

[Zeno Marx]

Dajjal - s/t C-90 on Cathartic Process

Aggressive, industrial noise with long, epic travel as it meanders through so many different lands, all with equally great skill.  I've only listened to side A so far because something I enjoy this much is something I'm going to be patient absorbing.  Blew me away.  I was sometimes reminded of early noise industrialists, and at one point, I was thinking of Richard Ramirez during his I keep My Stuff Inside and /Alchemy of the 20th Century period.  Says it was recorded live, and if so, and not well rehearsed prior to the recording, he was blessed with at least one 45-minute span of everything working for him.  As much as it changes, it felt effortless.  This is why I continue to listen to industrial music, and if I can find something this rewarding even once a year, I'm satisfied.
