Vomir - En Dehors, En Rien [NSN - 2013]

From 2013 here’s another torturous & unrelenting slab of walled noise from one of genres most known & celebrated exponent of the form. The release comes in the form of a c40 cassette tape, with each side of tape offering up a single twenty minute of truly punishing & unchanging noise craft.

The black on black printed cassette comes in a slightly over sized black plastic case, which features a black ink on black  sleeve. Also  inside the case you get a black ink on black card, which features a side text & a hand number (mines 73 of 100). And on the other side a vomir manifesto in French. You also get a black stitching & black fabric mini batch, which features the letter sHNW. All told it’s one of the more classy looking items in Vomir’s huge discography.

The releases title translates to “In Outside In Nothing”, and this is suitable grim & nihilism title for this release, as each side of tape presents the listener with an unchanging, tar-black & truly hopeless journey into walled noise craft.

Fitting the projects normal naming protocol both tracks here are untitled- side ones track is built around a muffled ‘n’ distant line of trudging low-end slurred juddering, which is weaved by a more pronounced  mesh of rapidly jittering static. The contrast between the  ill defined & muffled low-end, and the crisper caustic static texture is rewarding, and  sucks you into the wall.

Flipping over to side two, and this track brings together brings together a fixed  mesh of crackling ‘n’ churning mid ranged static, which is underfed by this slower & off-pattern noise texture which is made up of  rolling rumbles & jittering pile-ups. Both textures have a fairly similar tonal range which creates imagined textural shifts & patterns with in the wall it’s self. I’d say of the two tracks here this is my favourite due to these effective sonic allusions

Neither tracks here are the most distinctive, creative or memorable slices of walled noise you’ll have heard, but they are consistent enough & they nicely wrap you in that crudely unrelenting Vomir vibe. Added to this the rather classy yet bleak black on black packaging, and it’s certainly worth tracking down… & as of writing the label still has copies.
