Absurd Reality - Untitled [Basement Corner Emissions - 2024]

Here’s twenty minutes worth of crude ‘n’ nasty HNW from this South Carolina-based project. The ‘wall’ brings together thick and  suffocating low end, with a steady batter, bay, and buffet

The release appears on the Portland netlabel Basement Corner Emissions. Feature a basic/ yet effective monochrome picture of a stark building site. To check the release out drop by here

The self-titled track comes in dead on the twenty-minute mark. It brings together a constantly ‘n’ crude bass tone- which sits somewhere between slugging gallop, and a constantly raged finger-like clawing. This is underfed by a mix of stead bay, barren buffet, and bleak battering.  These elements are fed together into a thick and nasty wall of sound- which is seemingly constantly pouring into your ear like thick tarry, constricting, and pressing sound.

The twenty-minute runtime keeps you well-locked into its crushing sonic grip/ and to be honest  I could  have easily sat through twice, maybe triple for                                                                                   

There is nothing detailed, nuanced, or even vaguely complex about this release makeup- this is pure and unrelenting walling at its most unforgiving/hope-numbing. And if you enjoy old-school/ crudely ear-drilling walling- this will be for you!
