Vomir - Untitled(Altar of waste) [Altar Of Waste Records - 2012]This recent Untitled CDR release finds the French master of walled noise offering up just over seventeen minutes of pummelling & unforgiving HNW. The track with-in is the audio equivalent of forcing your head in side a vast sewer net work that’s engulfed by a raging whirl wind. As with all Altar of waste releases this comes in a see-through DVD case. The cover artwork features a dense & repetitive picture of a pine forest, and in the centre of the front cover is an old black & white picture of two 18 century looking men pulling a carriage with a threatening looking women in the back. The reverse cover features an inversed picture of what looks a grim & abounded prison bunk room. The single self titled track with-in comes in at the 17.08, and it finds Vomir building a very dense wall of unrelenting noise. The ‘wall’ is built around a mid paced rumbling crusty judder, which has muffled/ locked jittering ‘n’ bubbling noise texture coming out of it. The track is locked down into a continual grim, grey & sludgy churn which seems to engulf everything thing around you in a dank/ hopeless haze. Unlike some of Vomir work this track didn’t really feel like there’s was any feeling of (false) movement here- it just feels like a unrelenting grey/ thick locked churn.
To sum visually this is another nice ‘n’ grim looking release from Altar of waste, and sonically it’s another extremely brutal & inescapable bit of walled noise from the black bag wear Frenchman- it’s not one of the most memorable of Vomir’s releases, but it certainly makes up for it in purely unforgiving brutality.
