Paul DVR — Miasmic Corrosion

Miasmic Corrosion offers up just under an hours worth of taut, tense yet  highly compelling walled noise. Paul DVR is one of the recently active projects of long time & respected  US HNW artist Paul Dever( of Griz+zlor, Cursed Aether, & Dhusk).

This release comes in two forms a CDR, and a digital download- I’m reviewing the CDR version of the releases.  The stamped CDR comes in a slim-line clear plastic CD case, and this takes in a wrap around colour sleeve that features a mottled & dirty like orange, black & grey wall that is overlaid with a fencing pattern like grid. Also you get a simple white card inlay with minimal release info, and a hand number( mines 9/10).

The ‘wall’ on offer here comes in at the 58.06 mark, and is built around two main noise textures- we have a taut, rapid & rolling compressed bass judder, and a continual line of tense ‘n’ aggravated thick crackling jitter.  These two elements are tightly bound together to create a set matt of  textural tension- this  mangers to keep ones attention perfectly fixed through-out it’s just shy of an hour runtime. 

Mr Dever has now been creating walled-noise, on & off, for the last ten years- and Miasmic Corrosion clearly highlights both his ability to select great textures, & then bring them together to create  memorable & attention holding bit of wall- craft.
