Vomir/Cherry Blossoms at Night - Split [DeathSex Electronics - 2015]

This c42 cassette offers up two twenty one minute slices of nihilistic, unmoving, and intensely hopeless walled noise. On side A we have the French black bag wearing  king of HWN Vomir, and on side B we have scene new comer Cherry Blossoms at Night who hails from the north of the Uk

The release comes in an edition of twenty five copies- the unlabeled cassette comes in small black cardboard box. Inside the box ,along with the tape, are three black & white and deeply stark pictures of abandoned rooms & corridors. The front of the box features another stuck on black & white picture, and this takes in another stark pic of what looks like a room in derelict house.


Both tracks here are untitled, and on side A we have Vomir’s track. This ‘wall’ is built around a fixed & locked rapid billowing/ rolling, and this is tautly weaved a simplistic & set jittering static pattern. The billow has quite an endless roasting feel about it, while the jittering has an almost continual insect feasting quality about it- together the two elements create a truly bleak & bitterly intense bit of wall-making; yet at the same time it’s quite appealing in it’s mixture of sear & feast, and this keeps you locked in through-out the tracks length. The track is pretty much completely set in its attack, just at one point we get a brief burst of more searing static over the top of the ‘wall’- this fairly soon disappears & we’re back to original wall again.

Flipping over to side B and we have Cherry Blossoms at Night track, and once again this is another untitled affair.  This ‘wall’ is built around a fixed yet taut rumble descent, and this is matted by a tense static jittering ‘n’ juddering pattern- these two elements are locked together in a hopeless & airless looped fall which just carries on & on.  The whole thing is a fittingly nihilistic flip side to the Vomir track, and it keeps you very much in a stark hopeless void of searing walled noise vibe

If you are  after zero hope & unrelenting walled noise with a nihilistic feel, this is certainly worth a look. Vomir is on good form, and the Cherry Blossoms at Night is also effective in it’s focused & unchanging bleak-ness.
