Morte Cammina - Blood Lust [Needle & Knife records - 2015]

Here Australians Morte Cammina returns with a recent CDR release. It offers up two twenty to thirty minute  examples of taut yet often texturally rewarding wall-craft with a murderous & blood soaked theme.

This release appears on Needle & Knife records which is run by Shaun Mack( the mid behind Morte Cammina, and other  HNW project Girl On The Bridge, Widow Park and Bleak August). Most of this label out put comes in glossy & arty coloured sleeves( be it tape or CDR), but this release has a distinctively lo-fi & grimy look to it, as the CDR comes in a double sided/ fold-out black & white doubled side paper fold-out. This fold-out takes multiple images of bloody female & males faces, limbs with blood soaked bandages on, etc.

First up we have the track  “Blood Lust Part 1”, and this comes in at the just under the twenty three & a half minute  mark. The tracks built several layers of continual descending & showering textures- there’s are: a muffled & thicker low-end, a crisper & pitterred mid, a skittering static hazed low-to-mid, plus a few sub-tones that flit in & out of the ‘wall’.  Together these all create a rather compelling & layer detailed ‘wall’, which keeps you locked in through-out.

Next up we have “Blood Last Part 2”, and this is the longer of the two track at just over the thirty four minute mark. The track is sequenced straight in from the first track so you get a nice jolt when the new 'wall' kicks in.  This ‘wall’ brings together a compressed, yet violent & swift fixed billowing, which is caught in tight mesh of  buffing & rapidly boiling/ jittering textures. Together these elements create a dense, bitter &  intensely whipping winter storm like vibe.  This track is not as rewarding in it’s layer detail as the first track, but never the less it’s  still enjoyble in its focused & thick HNW attack.


All in all this is another consistent release from this project- with the first track rewarding with it’s layer detail, and the second smothering you into a  intense trance with it’s dense & impenetrable storm depth.
