Vomir/ Inanition - Split [Skum Rex - 2013]

This split CDR from summer 2013 brings together two twenty plus minute slices of dense ‘n’ fixed wall noise pummelling. We have a track from the French black bag wearing master of HNW Vomir, and a track from mysterious & anonymous three piece wall noise project Inanition.

The white CDR features the two projects names on it, and these have been seemingly ink-stamped on. The CDR comes in a fold around photo-copied black & white single sheet  inlay, and this features on it’s front cover a rather murky & abstract picture.

Each track is named after it’s running time, so first up we have Vomir’s “20min20”, and the track on offer here is fairly standard no-nonsense/ no- movement slice HNW. It’s built around an endless flowing yet fixed mass of  rapidly churning ‘n’ jittering  lower to mid ranged grey toned static noise,  this seems to be under laid by a  slower/separate off-pattern repetitive noise tone that’s focused at a muffled sort of machine like churn ‘n’ roll.  As you’d expect from one of  master of the ‘wall-noise’ form, the track nicely engulfs you in a entrancing mesh of noise, yet at times it almost feels as if the ‘wall’ is subtle shifting/ moving…but of course this all a trick of the ‘wall’, and in reality this is a firm ‘n’ fixed wall of sound.

Next we have the Inanition track which is entitled “26min41”, and this ‘wall’ is built around a nicely stereo split channel noise structure. Once again the ‘wall’ here is fairly fixed & firm in it’s feel, but the way the separate noise elements are left to sear & swim in their own stereo channels it’s most effective. I’m playing/ reviewing this track on headphone, so I  get a roaring 'n' stuck jitter in my right hand earphone, and  crusty judder ‘n’ billowing roll on my left ear phone. From time to time the textures seem to shift around from one head-phone to the next, or subtle shift their pattern, but I’m unsure if this is reality or just a trick of the ‘wall’.  All told this is another very effective bit of wall-making, and this track has an almost three dimensional feel about it, as if your head is slowly sliding though the ‘wall’ it’s self as it feast & boils around you.

So summing-up this split presents the listener with two entrancing, and suffocating dense/overwhelming  & fixed examples of walled noise form. Unlike some of the smaller edition related Vomir release, this comes in a fairly generous( by underground circles) edition of 40 copies- so you should be able to track down a copy of this.
