Perishment of Faith - World Burn [Stemms Audio - 2023]

World Burn takes in two slabs of battering, baying, and brutalizing walled noise. Each track sits around the half-hour mark, and each is as unrelenting/ unforgiving as the next.

Perishment of Faith is a new project from Cincinnati, Ohio's David Hilshorst( Whore's Breath), and as far as I can gather this is the project's second release. Like much of the scenes output at the moment this is a digital-only release- with the cover artwork taking in a monochrome picture of what looks like an ancient building being blown up.

First up we have “Set The Fire” this ‘wall’ is built around a fixed, tight, and rapid blend of muffled rolling bass drone, and hacking mid-ranged noise. Together these elements create the sensation of constant fall and cascading stonework- much like if a building was blown up, and you're stuck inside trying to dodge the ragged downpours & choking stone dust.

Next is “Smell Of Burning Leather And Paper In The Air”. This brings together a rough, slightly cluttering low-end grind- with a constant blend of descending rock rip, shred, and crush. If the first track was based in just one building-this one seems to chart maybe a total block destruction- as mortar falls, flames dance, and smoke clouds fill the sky.

World Burn is most fitting of its title- as we get two truly devastating & bone grinding examples of HNW. It’s nice to see Mr Hilshorst spread his sonic & theme wings with this new project, and I’ll certainly be checking out Perishment of Faith next offering. Drop by here  to check the release out
