Griz+zlor - Static Corps [Self Release - 2010]

“Static Corps” offers up two 50 minute ‘walls’ of thick, airless, weighty and tar black HNW that’s a guaranteed to bury you deeply in punishing thick sound mass, and blackly sour the world around your listening space.

The first side is taken up by “Field Manual Pts 1” and this smashers straight in with extrermly thick ’n’ black mass of roaring and billowing noise, which has slight jittering and juddering subtones at its edges. The pace is kept extremely enclosing and intense though-out with the ‘wall’ going from sounding like a billowing black storm, to a descending  black tarry whirl pool, onto an huge looped animalistic raging and amassed growl- yet it never drastically changes  it’s course always keeping it’s unrelenting and black focus. At around the twenty minute mark the track gets hit by one huge judder(which you think could rip the track apart, but does'nt ) then after this you get a series of smaller roaring judders, spaced out ever few minutes, they fall through the track like rocks knocking down the  sides of  a endless black abyss.

Over onto side two & we have “Field Manual Pts 2” and this track  starts out with a very rapid battering ‘n’ billowing wall of tone…imagine hundreds of flag being violently battered in a ninety mile an hour wind, and you get close to the sound here. Again the 'wall' is once more very thick, aggressive and unrelenting in its feel and unfold. Over the main seared billowing tones are other lesser and smaller tones that are weaved into the ‘wall’ like judders, jitters and battering wind tonality’s. As the track progresses it does seem to become more bass droning and almost synth throbbing like in it’s feel, but this could be my mind playing tricks on me…which ever it is it's damn nasty and weighty in it’s attack. Just like the first side we have a sudden huge judder which takes place just after the twenty first minute mark, but instead of causing more long judders like the first side it seems to speed the tracks pulse up another notch as it rages against you once more with new spite and rage.

So two very intense, lengthy, and blacked journeys into thick ‘wall-making’ from this great Philadelphia based walled noise project. And the tape also features a download code so you can have both tracks in MP3 form too, for when you out ‘n’ about…which is very handy.
