THE HATERS - Untitled Title Shots CD (Noisopoly, 2002)
Saw this listed in someones wantlist today and realized I haven’t listened to it in years. Three tracks made using that wrestling belt. Starting out is a lengthy, slowly squirming, loud, drilling drone. Along the way, little tones, ambiences (and is that a rhythmic sound hidden in the midst?) discreetly emerge. Wouldn’t have been out of place on Radiosonde’s Somnambul. Simple and very captivating. Middle track flaps, swells, sqeaks, mutates and clones itself. Distorted delayed waves of... well, the belt belting the belt I guess?, stung by nails of feedback throughout. Feels somewhat tame, but I blame the utterly brilliant and transfixing opening track. Closing the disc is yet another lobotomizer of a drone piece. Similar to the first track, but even better. Highpitched needle work right onto the brain, and what sounds like an idling moped made out of cardboard, burping carelessly way too close. Almost nauseating when played loud in headphones. A fine disc, and one of the more finely tuned and careful The Haters albums.
TAKUMI AKAISHI - Memória LP (Art Into Life, 2019)
Eight tracks of broken brittle folky drone. Recorded using hurdy gurdy, tube amp and tapes, this record lands somewhere inbetween Nico circa Marble Index/Desertshore and some random outsider basement freak at any point in history. It sounds like something Wire might go nuts about without that being the artist’s intent, if you know whatI mean. Beautiful beautiful stuff.

HUMECTANT INTERRUPTION / MO•TE - Rest Stop Entrapment C30 (Uncut, 1998)
Humectant Interruption with sounds from Mo•Te and vice versa. I have a soft spot for older artists like Humectant Interruption and that whole semi-forgotten segment. Despite being rather prolific in their day, fate somehow decided there will not be any ”screams for reissues”, no deep-diving retrospectives in zines or raving forum posts. In the case of some artists, it’s a mystery, in other cases it’s understandable. As for Humectant, I can see why, but I still argue he’s unfairly forgotten. This piece here, where he uses sounds from MoTe, is a good example. High voltage tension, loaded with snapping crackle and darting feedback. It moves forward with great effort, as if it’s trying to break loose, but to no avail, which gives the piece momentum throughout. Besides this, the only other thing from Humectant I’ve heard is yet another old collaboration, with Crank Sturgeon. Just as great! I need more... also, apparently Joel was 18 when he recorded this, which means he must have been 16 when he started Spite. Yikes...
Mo•Te on the other hand has gained some well deserved attention the last few years. I was going to write that this is a rather untypical Mo•Te piece, but then what is typical for him? They’re all different, his works. Always inventive in one way or another. His part of this collaborative split relies much on warm pulsating drones which comes and goes, and an almost industrial feel to the assembly as a whole; mechanical sounds, saturated junk bashing, paper-thin mic scrapings and feedback, all claiming their own space rather than being melted together in a huge cannon blast. I think I dare call it odd even by Mo•Te standards. Great tape!

Heat Signature - Altered States of Warfare CD (Found Remains)
Comes in hot and doesn't let up. Psychedelic in terms of pure sensory overload. Blownout production with depth; plenty of "crowdpleasing moments" as massive bass rumbles thunder up through the chaos. There's a grindcore sensibility to Heat Signature that I always come back to; not a second of ambience, just pure force. Hard to pick a favorite track, but Mind Control Map is an early contender.
The Gerogerigegege - Tokyo Anal Dynamite Singles Collection CD (Vis a Vis Audio Arts)
Noisecore psychosis end to end. None of the field recordings, strange ambience, and found sound that make up the last few releases (sans the BANGER of a secret track) If you're a Gero fan, this is essential. Wreck of Rock and Roll Former Self stands out as such a fucking ASSPOUNDER but yea this whole thing rips, get fisted.

Pogrom – Degančios Suros CD - Unrest Prod, 2014 - haven't heard this one in a while and goddamn what a pleasure it was to revisit. Such a gloomy power electronics record. I don't think I can give a proper description as I listened to it a few days ago, but the best comparison I can think of is Con-Dom. Like Con-Dom nothing is normal or run-of-the-mill about this. Although this review is a poor one, I can't recommend this album enough.

That's strange timing, I dug the tape of this out for the first time in ages this week. Great album. Speaking of other projects that sound like Con-Dom in the sense that they stand out in terms of pure power, I finally got around to listening to the first tape of Human Larvae's '15 years' live release. It's a ripper. The standout elements for me so far on this one are the vocals, fucking fantastic. |

Took out INCAPACITANTS - Pariah Tapes 5CD (Freak Animal, 2006) for a runthrough this weekend. As usual I feel like everyone else could just quit noise and we’d still be good. Such a pioneer, the good Mikawa. Vivenza-like metal works, guitar maltreatment, dense grainy static explorations, electronic psychouts, and of course the seeds that later sprung into bloom when Kosakai joined. But it’s still almost shocking how mapped out that signature noise of theirs was from the start. I find it hard to grasp Eternal Paralysis was recorded in 1981. Not only does it sound extreme even by today’s measures, it also sound perfectly fulfilled and fully realized. Nothing is missing, no loose ends. ”Eternal Paralysis Pt. 3” is particularly perfect. An ecstatic ripping and absolutely bonkers YET focused piece of noise. Some of the best noise ever recorded really. This whole set is fucking eye watering.
It’s mentioned on the sleeve that this is ”first edition”. Given the pricetag today, it might be time for a repress?

Years ago I had the chance to pick up this boxset at Hospital for a song and I bought something else instead. still kicking myself in the ass for that one. |

Golem Of Gore - partial discography
Blasting goregrind, in the vein of LDOH. A bit more going on than later LDOH stuff though so it's slightly a more attentive listen. Best goregrind I've heard in awhile anyway.
Meatal Ulcer - partial discography
Same as above but Australian this time. Older stuff is better and lacks the comedy element.
Algor Mortis - Interrupted Decomposition
Raw noise/industrial focused on necrophilia, corpse abuse etc. Rough stuff but great.
Murder Corporation - A Moment In Flesh
Classic Slaughter Prod grease and perversion
Strict - Impulsion
One of the greats

I just happened to download that Meatal Ulcer discography last night and they really nail the vocals effects. Having trouble finding a Golem of Gore discography on Bandcamp, any links or physical release only right now? |

Shredded Nerve - Acts of Betrayal CD
I like wild chaotic Japanese style harsh noise and on the other side of the spectrum carefully structured layers of sound textures. This record falls nicely into the 2nd category. Al the tracks build up slowly but convincingly and the whole album has a consistent feeling with all the pieces flowing into each other naturally. No surprises in the sound material used but the way the whole album is crafted makes it a great listen and it was on repeat in my car for the last couple of days. As it was my introduction by this act I will need to check out some of the older stuff.

Veprisuicida – Chinese Meat CD
Bought this a while ago. Listened a few times in the background and put it on the shelves until yesterday when I listened to this 3 times in a row. This 2020 reissue seems to be a bit overload but it turnes out to be my favorite of the Veprisuicida CD's. Nice mix of abstract sounds, samples and primitive noise. Seems like it's recorded spontaneously without a lot of editing showing old school craftsmanship.
