Vomir - Untitled(gold soundz) [Gold Soundz - 2011]“Untitled” finds Vomir offering up four just shy of twenty minute slices of brutal, unmoving & seared walled noise. This new untitled( the 21st vomir release to use this title!) release from the king of crusty & unrelenting walled noise is available in either a four 3ich cdr set or a single cdr- for reference I’m reviewing the single cdr version. The Cdr comes in a fairly plain/ sparse black ‘n’ white paper sleeve. It features on the front a line drawn & filled in shape that’s a cross between a triangle & square, & on the back there's vomir’s name, blog link & a boxed shape. I’m not sure how the four cdr set differs in artwork, as I’ve not seen them , but this artwork is effective if a little underwhelming. So onto the ‘walls’ with-in, the four untitled tracks on offer here last between nineteen mintues & thirty secounds, and nineteen minute & fifty three seconds. The first track is built around a mixture of churning, rumbling & drilling noise textures with a nasty ‘n’ persistent static judder ‘n’ tear on the top- I guess it brings to mind a vast drilling machine boring into a mass of discoloured & sewage filled ice. The second track is more a mixture of billow & roaring tonalities- I guess this sounds like trying to walk down a huge grim & rubbish filled tunnel in a gale. Track three is all about crude juddering & jittering textures that are underfed by a blunt ‘n’ battering bass drone- this track feels like been stuck inside a huge black exhaust blenching engine that’s jugging along in first gear down a bleak & unchanging dead landscape. Track four is built around a raging ‘n’ feasting web of static noise that has buried under it this expansive yet grey drone sustain- it feels like your endless falling and droping though a mass of grey cloud, and from time to time you see the barren and wasted earth below, but it never gets any closer & you seemingly never stop falling. All told this release offers up a good selection of four mid lengthy ‘wall’s from Vomir- each is a rewarding , nasty & battering in it’s own right. Certainly an Vomir release worth picking-up.
