Vomir/RedSK - Split 2012 [TRASHFUCK Records - 2012]

Here’s a HNW split from way back in 2012. The CDR brings together French master of crude & unstoppable wall-matter Vomir, and Michigan based RedSK- who are known for a more noise genre roaming sound, but here offer up straight & dense wall-craft.  Each party offers up around twenty five-to-thirty minutes of noise.

This is a unlimited edition, that appeared at M[m] offices last year…so you’ll still be able to( hopefully) hook up a copy of this. The CDR has a grey spray face, and comes in a pc printed colour cover that takes in pictures of rotten apples.

So first up we have the Vomir track “Untitled 25.13”- this is a fairly standard, unforgiving, and terminally nasty example of the projects take on HNW. The ‘wall’ is a thick, crude, airless & undefined blend of the following elements: a constantly descending & dirty aquatic churn, a rapid & simple judder, and a sustained/ hazed jitter. These are laid on-top of each other to create a truly suffocating, &  densely barren, and unbroken weave of wall- noise filth.  I can’t say the textures utilized here are really the most distinctive or original sounding, but the whole thing engulfs you in a satisfyingly nihilistic & nasty  manner .

Next up we of course have the RedSK track, and this is ( rather amusingly) entitled “Stand There And Do Nothing”. The track opens up fairly taut 'n' tight with  rapid one layer uninformed   pelting texture- after a few layers of twists & darts, things settling down into a thicker & set three/ four layered affair. We get a blend of low-end & muffled rolling billow ‘n’ drone, a very slight skitter bound & small static weaved  juddering, and several sub-tone layers- which take  in both treading static & murky rumble. The whole ‘wall’ has quite a bothersome industrial churn about it, though none of the textures really become full defined in their detail, with most of the tracks running time been a murky slog. All in all this isn’t a bad stab at walled-noise, with the project adding their own sonic identity to the proceedings, and I’d certainly interested in hearing their other work within the genre( if they’ve done anymore?!).

In summing up this split offers two dense & mostly unrelenting examples of HNW. Neither half of the split is particularly fresh or unique sounding, but if your after searing & totally battering walled noise you’ll find this appealing enough.
