Blod

[Peterson]

Was trolling around on Discogs for some info regarding the Swedish harsh noise project Blod, and instead stumbled upon this: https://www.discogs.com/artist/4071275-Blod-6

Apparently this music isn't exactly harsh but no less disturbing. This is the entirety of Matthias Andersson's review of "Unga Roster" LP from Fordamning #7:

Very sad collection of found tapes. It begins with recordings of children's choirs, but slowly gets more intimate and more personal with what appears to be a dad jamming with his children. You feel like a window voyeur, finally sneaking inside someone's house. Sometimes it's all a-capella but often the father joins in on guitar. He is helping them with the lyrics, filling them in and pushing them on ("sjung nu da!" = "come on, sing!"). One of the most miserable renditions of the Swedish Christmas classic "Nu tandas tusen juleljus" I've ever heard, eternal sadness and you just want to fucking die. Disturbing shit. Towards the end the father goes solo and I bet his is drunk out of his ass. Crude pause-button editing, some rewinding with well-chosen parts repeated. (no label, 2015)

Holy shit. Sounds like some unbearable/excruciatingly miserable genius, especially for when you're drunk around the holidays. I looked up some info on Discogs, and this guy looks like a creepy glam rock weirdo.
Even better is the mildly disturbing artwork and shit on the tapes and LPs, there are like pinup photos alongside pictures of babies and such. Anyone, please share any info or links....I need to hear something this bleak and miserable.

Was listening to/reviewing "Käre Jesus/Mandys Bil" 7" earlier today. Umm... you're in for quite a surprise!

Hail to IDDB for being the new wing of noise Avant Garde the last two years. Whether it clicks or not.

And it is severely better than anyone doing just another Ättestupa or Altar Of Flies tape, that's for damn sure!!!

He picked the name Blod a long time ago, way before his first cassette, and wasn't aware of the harsh noise project with the same name until maybe two years ago. Apart from our small local gang (Milos Olympus, Heinz Hopf etc), he's not into the more rough side of noise/industrial at all.

. . .Fuck, I need these.


I must add here that when it comes to projects sharing same names, I always give them a benefit of a doubt. Maybe they just didnt know project with same name exists? These days its easier to check, of course, with discogs, metal-archives and other sites. I must say though, that I believe that it is good form to change the name once you find out that you share the name with project that came before you, just common courtesy and so forth.

This is fucking great, to my ears. I hate this, I love this. Infuriating shit that sounds like a combination of self-recorded found thrift store tapes and maybe some loops/samples from Japanese jazz or some Kitaro tape or something else from a thrift store.

This is like a warped version of some of the stuff coming from Blodad Tand, but not cool or New Age-y.
