RU-486 'Princess of Rot' c10

(2008, Destructive Industries DI002)

I got this recently in a trade from the label. It's a c10 (the perfect noise length) in a plastic case with inserts and lyrics. I'm glad to see that people are still making tapes.

The first track starts off with some feedback and mid-range rumbling. Then comes the screamed, buried vokills. Lyrics are included, but not necessary. This guy has the vocal skills of a great hardcore singer. It sounds like there are no effects applied, just raw emotion, fighting to be heard over the noise. After some percussive beatings, everything's spent and falls into a final feedback squeal.....

The second track, Day Job, has a wider dynamic range with screeching feedback and muffled low-end rumbles. At times the feedback squelches subside, leaving nothing but a subsonic grind. The track ends with a whimper.

Don't hesitate to contact the artist below. This is a numbered edition of 25 copies and well worth every minute of it's sonic abuse.

BIZARRE UPROAR 'Bunker Sessions' CD

2007, Housepig Records HPIG-013

Here are 8 tracks of harsh junk noise. Like his fellow Finn, GRUNT, BIZARRE UPROAR recorded all of these tracks live in the studio. The first track starts off with some screeching junk rhythms. Then the noise comes at you like a hungry machine. It doesn't let up until 28 minutes later, when the metal beast lurches back into the darkness from whence it came. And lurking somewhere in the maelstrom is a chaotic piece of noisecore.

If you'd like a second spin, just put your CD player on 'Random'. This CD is divided into 99 tracks, so the replay value is enormous. Herein lies a multitude of ways to scramble your brain. Exceptional.

LEGLESS / GAS SATORI split CDr

LEGLESS / GAS SATORI 'Split' CDr (2007, Deviant Amusements 01)

This split comes in a minimalist jewel case. Contact LEGLESS below to see if it's still available.

The first track, by LEGLESS is a dense study in disentegration. Just when you think the roars and the scrapings are taking you somewhere, you realize you're nowhere. That's when the screams come in. Dense, harsh noise that might lead you towards enlightenment. Or not.

GAS SATORI provides the opposite flavor. Twelve tracks of short blasts. Almost like MASONNA, but without the tension of silence. The machines don't shut off, they just jerk along, making you lose your path until you're too pummeled to even care. After all is said and done, you still hit 'play' and ride it again.

LEGLESS Inconsequential 3"CDr

LEGLESS 'Inconsequential' 3"CDr (2007, Terra Firma Records)

This 3" CDr comes in a small envelope with a poster. It's numbered of only 60 copies.

LEGLESS presents an impressive squall of feedback and pedal abuse. The scree twists and turns through unnamed corridors bringing with it harsh sheets of fuzz and the occasional scream. And before you know it, you're pulverized.

Overall, this is a pretty impressive release. The sounds are fresh and balanced, and the whole thing is very well mixed.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST Live 20 Dec 07 Tacoma WA

TOXIC HOLOCAUST - Hell's Kitchen, Tacoma, WA - 20 December 2007

This show was part of a small West Coast tour with members of ZEKE and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD handling the instrument duties. Normally Joel handles all the instruments, but here he just puked out the vocals. Certainly one of the best shows I've seen all year. Too bad the place was nearly empty. I even spead the word to some metal 'hipsters' I know, but they didn't show. Too bad, as the TOXIC HOLOCAUST brand of thrash would kill those posers dead! It was a non-stop thrash holocaust. And my favorite song, '666', ended the show.

Thanks Joel! Please come back!

MORTUOR Nekro Schizo 3"CDr

MORTUOR 'Nekro Schizo' 3" CDr (Nil By Mouth, NBM03CDR)

This treasure was one of the few things I've won on eBay. And that was only because the seller listed this under the 'Buy It Now' option. I'm not sure I can thank that seller enough. What we have here is one of the finest 3" of a cdr that I have heard. MORTUOR thanks Marco Corbelli, and the Italian scene, in the booklet. Each of the 4 tracks shows influences from the best that ATRAX MORGUE has ever done. There's usually a simple synth rumble or rhythm with hellish vocals over the top. The 2nd track, '6 Slashes For Sister', has a strong MB feel to it's rhythm and sound. It had me waiting for the suffocating machine to implode.

KADAVER Infected With Feelings CDr

KADAVER 'Infected With Feelings' CDR (2006, The Eastern Front ASH!!!003)

Review:

This disc comes in a handmade digipak. It is limited to 111 hand-numbered copies.

On this release, KADAVER follows a definite medical theme. The sounds emanate from the warm, dead body. KADAVER proves he is equally adept at roasting the listener with hot waves of static, as he is at chilling the listener with cold ebbs of morbidity. Keep your ears open for the future sounds of KADAVER.

Keep in mind that no musical instruments were used in any of these recordings.
