Himmat - Bitter Conclusion To A Frail Youth [HNW Netlabel - 2024]Bitter Conclusion To A Frail Youth is a just over ten-minute example of searing ‘n’ rushing walled noise from this India-based project, which as far as I can gather is a relatively new venture. The release appears on London’s HNW netlabel as a digital download. Cover artwork-wise we get a psychedelic-lined blue, yellow, and red affair which looks like it has a picture of an operation in its centre. The release can be found just here.
The single track here rolls in at the 10.25 mark. And it’s certainly a very loud, crude, and hellishly dense affair. It’s built around an urgent & rapidly moving blend of blunt bass roll, hacking hiss, and the occasional searing to brutally purring subtone rush. The whole thing is a great example of totally overloaded and brutally smothering walled craft, and it totally hammers you into its attack for its full runtime.
I’ll most certainly be interested in hearing more of Himmat, and I say if you enjoy all engulf & total unrelenting wall craft Bitter Conclusion To A Frail Youth will most certainly appeal.      Roger Batty
