Vomir/Abyzm - Split [Excavated Prod - 2013]This split CDR brings together two tracks worth of dense & inescapable Hash Noise Wall. Ones tracks from one of scenes most recognizable name- Vomir, the French black bag wearing master of fixed HNW. And the other tracks from scene new comer Kansas City based Abyzm. The CDR comes in DVD case, which features dark purple & white speckled psychedelic like liquid scape artwork- which is unusually printed on canvas. Inside there’s a single card inlay that features white text against a black back ground- this details the track listings, their run-times & each projects email contact details. First up we have an untitled track from Vomir. This 17.58 track is built around a un-breacking down pour of roasting, raging, and churning low-to-mid ranged dense static. As one would expect from Vomir the sound here is extremely fierce, thick, crusty & unrelenting. I guess the best way to try & describe the track is as the sonic equivalent sticking your head under the jets of an aged/ decaying/ stinking rocket, as it tries & fails to take off the ground. While your face, ears, and body get slowly engulfed with it’s searing & unstopping roasting down roar. It’s a nice intense & urgent wall from the French-man, and it’s most effective it literal roasting the cobwebs away. The second untitled track is of course from Abyzm. This track comes in at the slightly longer running time of 23.31, and after the crude & intense roasting of the Vomir track, this ‘wall’ goes more the down rapid & controlled pounding ‘n’ fixed ripping attack route. The ‘wall’ is built around a tight & focused mix of: rapid jittering thick crusty static jitter, & constantly rolling ‘n’ bone grinding low-end bass judder- these elements are melded together to create a truly unforgiving, yet controlled & textural separate defined walled noise attack. The tracks structure remains fairly focused & fixed for most of it’s running time, though in it’s last quarter or so the tones seem to get even more enraged & battering. Again this is a very extremely intense & (mostly) unmoving slice of ‘wall-making’. So to sum- this is a nice & intense wall noise split that finds both parties offering up totally unforgiving & unrelenting slices of HNW. With Vomir taking the crude roasting route, and Abyzm taking the controlled yet no less intense route      Roger Batty
