[Album: eponymous] Power Electronics aims to shock – senses, sensibilities, sensitivities, speakers. The thesis of PE orbits prurient fascination with the vile and unspeakable, yet too often this thesis holds its subject at length to examine it safely from behind glass. Power, domination, sex, and violence all under clinical scrutiny. Pig puts its fist through […]
[Album: Syklubb Fra Haelvete] Ever sliced yourself with scissors while cutting up paper? Gotten a needle stuck under a nail? Commonplace objects can kill you. Blood-glaze on formica. Luscious wind-chimes. Neighbors laugh in the sun; the birds on the fence, fresh suds of apple-soap. What if it kept bleeding and bleeding, and nobody believed you? […]
Restraint is surprisingly commonplace in extreme music – it’s probably hypocritical, if a noise project even dares to front a philosophy. Crafting hands desire control when the raw materials are so powerful. Some creators disregard all that. This, here, is the sound of cabin fever and utter abandon. Only a crippling boredom cracked open screaming […]
[Album: Swingers Get Killed] What do you say about The Rita? There’s nothing clever to say about The Rita. This was made in ’98, the same year that Madonna dropped Ray Of Light. Same year as Freak On A Leash. The same year Neutral Milk Hotel dropped some album with a potato on the cover […]
[Album: eponymous cassette] IVERSON:This cassette sounds like it was exhumed from underneath a pile of bagged and rancid burger joint wrappers, wiped off with an oily rag, and jammed into your grandma’s old Walkman. There’s some sort of rock music being attempted here, but in lieu of a back-beat and a guitar it’s literally the […]
[Album: Untitled EP] In 14 minutes, Delroy Edwards (AKA Ron Perlman’s son – yes, the A-list actor Ron Perlman) gets away with murder. The DJ moniker is subterfuge: this is a noise cut. Harsh, bleach-down-the-windpipe, scalding analog feedback noise. The opening track deceives by riding in on a hotwired kick-drum slathered in waves of bloodsoaked […]
[Album: eponymous] I went in blind, encountered the gagged and hiccuping, and found myself surrounded by mocking voices. Laughter, uncomfortable and derisive. A pair of lips moulded into a plastic top spinning to stutter, wobble, nearly topple over the record groove before defying gravity – it’s begging please, it’s saying “this, this, this!” and then […]
I am here to tell you guys about my favorite breakcore artist of all time. I know a few of you posted that “Noise” song that Igorrr posted a few weeks ago, but I’m here to talk about some of his earlier stuff, though we aren’t going too far back. I have heard someone say […]
[Album: A Gathering Together] No one knows where New York City gutters drain to. Don’t ask the sanitation department. Don’t ask a civic engineer. Don’t ask a local. Nobody wants to know. Dead meat coagulates in lightless corners under the rails. Morbid silhouette floats on placid water, thumps gently against the porcelain. Morelli runs the […]
[Album: Deathsentences of the Polished and Structurally Weak] Noise can be about sounds. Negativland (legendary), an ongoing music project about sounds, and popular culture, and how sounds and popular culture work together to worm ideas into your skull without you even noticing. Most of their albums are relatively musical, if chaotic and full of what […]
