 Emit - Abortions [Autumn Wind Productions - 2008]Emit's bend, melt and pummel Black metal music and spirit into a very strange, sinister psychedelic and bizarre place. This wonderful yet unnerving and varied disc is a highly consistent and strange collection of tracks from through out the projects 9 year descent into darkness and sonic madness. The 16 tracks on offer here go from; discordant and runaway metal attacks ‘n’ grim blurs, which barely hanging together in their shambling blacked wonder. To heady, bizarre and plodding church organ unfolds, shifting with sinisterly drunk monk drones and unsettling atmosphere. Onto creepy and unhinged gamelan/death bell wonderings, to cold basslines while industrial crawls through bouncing noise textures. Or cold ‘n’ barren and barely moving clean guitar frost groaning with odd vocalising. Really the album seems to get more unhinged, off-kilter and blackly fucked-up as it goes on. You keep thinking this can’t go any farther out; but they keep pushing and pushing the grim envelope farther and farther. And surprisingly for a compilation each & every track here works, puzzles and rewards equally.Best steer clear of this if you like your black metal balanced and relatively normal, but if like me you like to see the genre bent, deranged and pulled to its limits of reason and sanity, this is a must-have item. Truely fucked-up grim ‘n’ blacked wonder of the highest order.  Roger Batty
