Foul - Lisa Levy [self release - 2011]

‘“Lisa Levy” is just shy of thirty minutes worth of brooding ‘n’ brutal HNW from this always consistent West Virginia based project that’s all the work of  J. Cadle (White Torture,...Massacre, Oasis Of Fear & HCV).

The track takes it’s name/theme from one of the last women to be killed by charming US serial Killer Ted Bundy. Lisa Levy was the second girl killed in the Chi Omega sorority house attack, which happened after Bundy had been on the run for two months from breaking out of prison late 1976/ early 1978. An autopsy showed that Ms Levy had been beaten over the head with a log, raped and strangled. She had also been sexually assaulted with a hairspray bottle. Her body showed evidence of teeth marks on the buttocks and breasts, which matched Bundy's teeth perfectly. This was a key piece of evidence at Bundy's trial & helped convicted the killer.

The track on offer here finds Mr Cadle mixing together two consistent noise elements into a great brooding, airless & crushing wall of sound. These two elements are: a constantly rolling sinister ‘n’ oppressive bass drone, and a thick mat of jittering mid-pitch static.  The ‘wall’ nicely rolls out in an endless & suffocating manner, encasing you in this brutal ‘n’ airless state. Yet for all its intense & pressing repetition one does get very much sucked into the tracks brooding & nasty web.

All told this is a great, simply structured yet damn effective slice of unrelenting walled noise. It finds Cadle nicely balancing brutally, rolling brood with sonic nastiness very well. Sadly this is only available as a download…so pop over to the releases listing on discog here to get the download link.
