Bördel Noïr - X [Grotto X Records - 2011]“X” finds ghoulish French HNW act Bördel Noïr offering up 66 minutes worth of dense, brutally oppressive & truly inescapable walled noise, which seems to suitably encase you in a grim, airless, yet hypnotic state. The single self titled track on offer here is built around a extremely dense mixture of juddering ‘n’ grim bass bound noise textures, jittering ‘n’ caught thinner/ crisper static tonalities, and a deeply bleak sense of descending ‘n’ brutal subterranean horror. Bördel Noïr weaves these elements together to form this black sack cloth like mass of sound that engulfs all your sonic sensors in grim ‘n’ ghoulish airlessness. The ‘wall’ remains very thick, dark and fairly rapid through out it’s just over hours life, yet there seems to be a grim ‘n’ descending feasting feel with-in the ‘wall’ as the bass & static bound elements lock together in darkly brutal embrace. “X” is another effective & pitch black slice of thick & unforgiving walled noise from this French project- well worth a look if you enjoy been submerged in grim, ghoulish & brutally dark wall-making.
