Four Flies — Choking on Your Own Blood and Spit

The gruesomely entitled “Choking on Your Own Blood and Spit”  finds Four Flies, which is another project of the hugely prolific and muilt-project linked Richard Ramirez- the project started off as a four piece but is now thinned down to a  two piece and features Ramirez & Robert Newsome (White Gimp Mask). The tape offers up two 15 minute slices of intense and bombarding walled matter with a bloody & sadistic Giallo theme running through them.

The C30 tape comes in a great fold out brown card arigato tape case pack, which features splattered red and black Screen printing. And when you open it up the letters H-N-W are printed on  three of inside flaps which is kind of neat.

Going onto the tape it self and it features an untitled track per side that comes in near the fifteen minute a piece. Side ones track is a raging ‘n’ thick yet locked mid-paced slice of galloping and crudely juddering 'noise-walling' that swims with smaller slicing and juddering semi-tones. The ‘wall’ feels very murky, bloody & nasty; with Ramirez making a very claustrophobic and intense track that snaps and rages at your hearing and brain.

Over onto side two’s untitled  track and Ramirez creates this great split stereo channel track that’s built around subtle shifting and intensifying juddering noise tones, which are underplayed by this grim, grey & growing droning purr. At the start of the track you have one thick and chocking judder coming out of one speaker, and then a different judder coming out of the other speacker. As the track goes on the sick 'n' violent layers of judder seem to mix and run into each as Ramirez builds this complex, oppressive and nasty muilti- layered ‘wall’. The track brings to mind a victim been held down and semi chocked as a black glove killer slashes ‘n’ hacks away at the victims  twitching body with multiple attacks.

So two very nasty, claustrophobic and bloody tracks of thick & often muilti-layered HNW. If you dig dense, intense and shifting yet always thick walled matter with a Giallo edge this is a must have item!.
