Pink Wool/Sado  Ritual — Split

Here we have a wall noise split, which is apparently themed around Orthodox Schema monk outfits. Each project serves up around fifteen minutes of crudely droning ‘n’ choppy wall matter. Featured here are Oregon’s Pink Wool, who are fairly new. And Poland’s Sado  Ritual, who have been active since 2019, releasing two hundred plus releases.

The release appears on Poland’s Gates Of Hypos as a digital album. With a white pen on a black background cover, which takes in what looks like crude/ squiggled runes/ texts/ figures. It can be found here 

So first up, we have the untitled Pink Wool track. This is built around a set, but slightly buffeted/ battered bass purr, which is topped with juddering/ hacking subtone. The ‘wall’ is simple, yet hellishly dense in its attack, with an edge of oppressive suffocation about it. Feeling akin to trying to stay steady/ standing up on earthquake-bound, cracking ground.

Next is, of course, is the Sado  Ritual track- which is entitled  “Analavos “. Here we find a more cluttering low-end churn, paired with jittering shred, and choppy purr. This feels like been fed into a semi-malfunctioning machine- with metal arms, juddering cogs, and lightly smarting belts.

This split offers up to basic and crude examples of the walled noise form- each offering up a fifteen-minute brain churning- there is nothing fancy/ complex here, just unrelenting ‘walling’.
