Dead Bodies — Human Cocoon

Dead Bodies Is one of the projects of ultra-prolific/multiple project-linked  Russian Wall noise creator Ivan Sandakov( Autodestruction, Oasis Of The Zombies, Damage Concentration, etc). This project has been active since 2013- with thirteen releases to its name thus far, Human Cocoon was its first release in a few years.
 

The release is a two-track digital affair appearing on Sandakov’s own label Nihil Worship HNW. Cover artwork wise we get a monochrome close-up picture, of lightly fleshed bone. The release can be found here.
 
Fitting the project's name & the release title we get very necro/ grim sounding wall-craft. Both tracks are Untitled- the first comes in just shy of the forty-eight mark, and the second spot on the forty-minute mark. The first track is a mixture of this droning buzzing, and lightly shunting static drones- which are edge with lightly bumbling tone smarts. It all very much brings to mind slowed-down and grainy footage of a cloud of flies feasting on a recently downed corpse- hell at points you’d swear you can almost smell this track. It’s a nicely drowsy and unwell example of wall-craft, with the slow tonal drift keeping you locked in for the ‘walls’ near fifty-minute runtime.
 
The other untitled track is built around beading 'n' bluntly droning lows, which are topped with shunting 'n' spinning mid and highs. With things become more jitterily bass/ blurred as it progresses.  Again, there is a drowsy feel to this track, but this time around I’m getting images of cars drifting together and roughly trailing along the hard shoulder- with maybe half-alive passengers hanging out of the jaggedly smashed car door windows, This ‘wall’ feels a little more active and shifting in its layers, though it never moves too far away from its original intent.

As a release, Human Cocoon offers up two drowsily nasty walls- which buzz ‘n’ hum with all things grim and rank. I’ll most certainly be checking out more of this project's work, to see if it’s on par with this release.
