Dosis Letalis & Endless Chasm — Channelling Fire
The pinkly red shelled cassette comes in a similar shelled coloured tape case- this takes a moody black, white, and blurred dark yellow, orange, and red stretched artwork- this nicely fits the sonics with-in. The release was put out by Kansa based Big Pharma Records- it came in an edition of sixty copies, and as of penning this review the label still have copies for sale.
So first up on side A we have “Inner Fire”- this opens with a blend of rapidly build crackling & hissing walled noise, and this pressing-yet- accelerated drone textures, that pins out a tense & unsettling looped melody. As the track moves on the walled noise element becomes more manically chopping in it’s cluttering ‘n’ hissing attack. Underneath the drones seem to spin off faster, though at the same time start to fade back- as more ringing & colliding tones come into play, then these too fade as the last four/ five minutes where just find chopping & feasting wall matter is left raging away at its self.
Flipping over the tape we have the track “Inner Void”- here we find a blend of harmonic brutally raging rustle ‘n’ gallop- under this we have a very subdued tone of sourly swirling & waving drone matter. I guess of the two this ‘wall’ is the more subtly mood-bound- though I didn’t find the ‘wall’ elements as rewarding as the first side.
It’s always neat to see wall-craft blended with other genres, and grim drone or blacked ambience is perfect for this mixing. I guess I’m not as impressed as I might have been with this collaboration, as both walls do sound fairly similar in their attack/ feel- though it’s an enjoyable enough collab.
