Bereft - Chlanna Nan Con Thigibh Aso's Gheibh Sibh Feoil (C20, Destructive Industries): Yeah, I copied that title, haha... After the first listen, I felt like: is this all? Why? Because it's a minimal recording, monotonous tracks as well. But after every listen it seems to get better. Cool vocals in the covers as well (I don't like you!!!). Funny thing, think I know more pe covers of Skrewdriver by now, than I know Skrewdriver material itself.
I heard that Malignant (if I'm not mistaken) is going to re-release the split with Sewer Goddess on CD, that's definately something to look forward to.
V/A - Tied To An Abuse (C48+C50, Nil By Mouth Recordings): Great packaging, I really like the booklet! Bought this because it has some artists I wanted to hear more from and others which I wanted to check out (always the best reason for me to get a comp.). After a first listen, I certainly was not disappointed. Different styles are represented, some noise, some power electronics, some death industrial. Worthy purchase!
Abnegate - Vassalage (C20, Danvers State Records): Good PE, good gritty filthy stuff with some nice feedback. Female vocals that remind me a bit from some of the Sewer Goddess vocals. Anybody knows whether this act is working on other releases?
Anal Barbara/Funeral Mongoloids (C20, Untergeschoss): Got this for a friend, but since the people involved are known for their other acts, I gave it a listen. Conclusion from listening to this (and other stuff) is that noisecore isn't my cup of tea really...
Just for the record, on the Metal side, stuff like:
Grave Miasma - Realm of Evoked Doom, Apocalypse Command - demo 2006, Absu - In the Eyes of Ioldanach, Nifelheim - Envoy of Lucifer, Vasaeleth - Adorned & Irridescent, Motörhead - Motörizer, Proclamation - Execration of Cruel Bestiality. All great stuff of course.
