Clay - Reign Of Bombs [Breaching Static - 2012]

Clay is the HNW project of Cacak, Serbia based Djordje Miladinovic (also of drone/ HNW project Raven), and as far as I can gather “Reign Of Bombs” is his first release with this project. The release comes in the form of a CDR which features two twenty minute slices  lo-fi ‘n’ brutal walled noise.

Up first we have the title track which mixers together a rattling & ragged judder with a rumbling & roaring  noise churning. The juddering sounds like a mass of vibrating food trays, where the rumble 'n' roaring element adds a bleak almost looped atom bomb explosion ‘n’ destruction underbelly to the track. All told it’s a stark and urgent bit of wall-making, though I did find it overstayed it’s welcome at the twenty minute mark….half it’s length would have been more effective.

Secondly we have “Devastation”, and this is built around a very dense & suffocating mass of rapidly slicing static, which is under fed by what sounds like a swirling mass of  slower static based snaking noise.  With this ‘wall’ Miladinovic creates a extremely dense & airless bit of noise making that almost at times makes you feel breath-less, as if the atmosphere around you is alive with thick deadly dust. This track kept my attention through-out & it had quite an effective/ fairly original sound to it too, and while the first track was ok this is my favourite of the two tracks.

To sum-up this is a promising enough opening shot from this new Serbian project- with the first  track been ok, but the second been a most very effective/ suffocating bit of wall-making. I look forward to hearing what Miladinovic does in the future.
