Vomir - Maniac [Maniac Tapes - 2010]

‘Maniac’ is Vomir’s Harsh Noise wall tribute to the ultra sleazy and violent 1980’s US slasher of the same name which followed the exploits of fictional  new York serial killer Frank Zito. This CDR consists of a single forty six minute 'wall' of crude, crass and nasty HNW matter that fits perfectly the nihilistic and sleazy feel of the film.

The ‘wall’ is built around two revolving and nearly constantly looped elements-firstly we have this highly muffled, crude and almost junk like battering semi percussive one; then we have a rolling, coarse slightly  juddering drone in the sonic foreground. These two elements mostly rub ‘n’ grimly grind against each other in a  clattering mid-pace and fairly repetitive manner for the tracks forty six minute running time. Ever so often Vomir breaks the pattern for sudden off loop bombardments, but much of the track pounds away at you in a satisfyingly relentless, grubby and sleazed manner. If any one HNW artists was going to do a sonic tribute to the sleazed and gory charms of the  ‘Maniac’  movie it had to be Vomir and his soiled, crude and unforgiving take on the genre. This track certainly does not let down in it’s relentless perverse battering much like one Frank Zito unabated attacks on his victims  in the moive it's self.

‘Maniac’  is another barbaric, crude and unforgiving slice of nasty ‘n’ sleazed Harsh Noise Wall matter from the France master of the form Vomir.
