Foul — Murder Castle
This c60 tape has an untitled track per side, and the first sides track comes in just over the nineteen minute mark. The ‘wall’ rages straight in with a hit of deep ‘n’ roaring noise tone that’s seared by sudden grating train line like tones. After this initial high pitched and teeth gritting toned start the track settles down into a dense yet churning mixture of: circling storm roar, deep textural like scourings, and almost extreme industrial like textural churn. By the mid-way point you start to get hints of serrated ‘n’ slight higher pitched noise tones ‘n’ scrapes; which you can just make out ever so often in the ‘walls’ blacked maelstrom of sound. These higher pitched elements become more prevalent as the track nears it’s end, yet they never detract or take away from the deeply dense, bleak and churning wall dynamics of the track. All told it’s a wonderful intense and urgent slice of 'wall making ' that has some nice aggravated/ high pitched noise tones and extreme industrial veins running through it’s thick yet churning structure.
Over onto the second side and this track comes in just shy of the thirty minute mark.This ‘wall’ starts off a lot more simply and raging storm bound with Cadle unfolding this huge swirling ‘n’ roaring ‘wall’ of sound that’s pitch black and extremely dense. Though there is some slight storm like churn in evidence here, this ‘wall’ has none of the first sides higher pitchers and it tends to stay to more with roar ‘n’ battering tonalities, it’s also a lot more fixed and locked in it’s feel. The track brings to mind painful and draining walk through a endless raging nightime storm. Again this is another great slice of wall making, but in more of a fixed and blackly battering form.
So in summing two very consistent and worthwhile slices of black ‘n’ bleakly pitched wall-making from this great US project that has sadly been in hiatus of late. Lets hope there’s more new material soon from this and Mr Cadle’s other great projects.
