The Rita & V/a - Total Slitting of Throats [Troniks/Pacrec - 2007]

A total slitting of Throats finds Sam McKinlay Aka The Rita mixing and layering together his own work along with that of Mania, Treriksröset, Sewer Election, and The Cherry Point  into  wall of unforgiving dense noise. Making just over an hour of the finest most punishing and unforgiving ‘wall noise’.

Original released on McKinley’s Militant Walls  lable in a cdr edition of 100, now reissued in a rather fetching card sleeve case with Giallo influenced cover artwork on the  Troniks lable. If you’ve come across any of The Rita's recent work you’ll now pretty much what to expect, this is gruelling mass of enclosing 'wall noise' , there are shifts and slight sea changes in sounds as new elements are hammered in but it occurs at a deep level, there’s no great thematic or textural changes here. This just grabs you and pins you down from the out set letting you up an hour or  latter your ears still ring and feeling drained, yet oddly invigorated.  Mr Mckinlay once again produces a very rewarding and brutal unforgiving trip, proving once more he makes some of most dense and nasty ‘wall noise’ around, that is somehow also very appeal to lose ones self in.

One for your more seasoned noise head's or those looking for total sound emersion in dense unforgiving noise craft, literal blowing away the world around ones self.
