The Rita & Wilt - Werewolf in the Black Space [Cipher Productions - 2008]

This collaboration between wall noise specialist The Rita and dark ambient/sinister guitar drone project  Wilt does what every great collaboration should do, it takes elements from each parties sound to make something new,different and on this occasion very frightening.

Taking the combined love of both projects for murder, mayhem, horror, and Giallo films. They weaving a collection of tracks that sew-saw between been disturbing atmophsphic, eerier and face slicing, torso burningly and   multiple  knife wound brutal. The albums opens up with   Dead wife of Hitchcock with it’s distorted twanging  yet clean sounding guitar wow-wow peddle atmospheric cinematics - like an amped up evil Giallo soundtrack opener. The tracks starts kicking in with a noise layer at about the two and half minute mark and sadistically adds on & on the sonic pressure like large vice like hands trying to force eyeballs out of a twitching head. Later on Land of slitting throats invites you into a sea of boiling, bending & burning noise collisions of huge ear singing tone. With an undercurrent of sinister sweeping  cinematics that bubble closer to surface ever so often, coming into clear creepy sonic view for a few moments towards the tracks end.

All of the tracks here  par one where original released on now long out of print cassette editions. The extra track here has never been released anywhere else before and is entitled The Greatest Death, it starts off in fitting deep and sleazy synth/ guitar tone that brings to mind a movie victims slow crawl away from their killer. That suddenly explodes into a raging and pulsing wall of noise battering (as if the killers had enough of his victim crawling and goes in for an explosive attack), but still at its bloody base are the tracks sleazy and atmospheric origins. Through out the rest of the tracks twelve minute live, it alternates between head battering noise overloads and sudden stops in sleazy ambient tension.

It's all packaged with suitable disturbing black & white female murder victims stills from Giallo moives. Hats must been taken off to Cipher Productions for reissuing this sleazy,atmospheric and violent gem. Lets hope Wilt and The Rita decide on some more audio terror and torture together again very soon.
