The plain sharpie numbered CDR’s come in a bulky DVD case- this features black, green, purple, white and orange glitched–up artwork. With its back cover taking in black texts- detailing track-listings, web-links & label info. The set was ltd to twenty copies- and as far as I can gather there are still copies available from the label.

HOMExINVASION has been active since 2019- releasing over thirty releases thus far. Subject/theme wise they seem to focus in on a  mix of wall-noise nihilism, grim forms of death/torture, and true crime- so fairly typical for wall/ harsh noise. As far as I can recall this release is my first taster of the projects work. And I’d say over the six discs we have competent-if-largely simplistic examples of the walled noise genre, which are at points fairly entrancing/ atmospheric in their attack.

Kicking off the set on disc one we have “Razor Blade Fascination I” and” Razor Blade Fascination II”- the sound of these two tracks is ragging 'n' roaming ANW. The first track is built around a blend of rolling ‘n’ murky billow, tightly juddering static, and crackling sub-tone dwell. Playing the track I got sucked in well enough to the ‘wall’, and at points, you get an effective sonic illusion that the whole thing is faltering/ threatening to break-up. The second track has much more of grinding rolling-meets-skittering thinner static grain feel about it- with the reduced volume blend of crushing bass &  rattling static working well enough. Of the two tracks, I’d say the first was my favourite- due it’s more grayly trudging feel & it’s rewarding sonic illusion.

Disc two takes in “Untitled I”  and “Untitled II". The first ‘wall’ finds rapidly rolling 'n' droning bass, moved alongside by rattling 'n' crackling static flow- I like the feel of rough & ready urgency of this track, with the bass bound elements  nicely grinding in their attack. The second track finds a mixture of blunt & sustained low-end drone, cluttering mid-range & choppy rattle- this blend worked well to create both an airless & constricting feel to the proceedings. And I’d say I feel evenly about each of these ‘wall’- saying that they are rewarding enough in their attack/ flow.

Moving onto disc three and we have  “College Girl Knife Fight I” and “College Girl Knife Fight II”. The first track finds sustain burrowing low-end met by a tight weave of feasting & jitter static, which has a slightly caught/ rattling quality about it. The low-end here is effectively murky in its grim drilling sustain, and you can’t fully make out its path- so this pulls one in more. The static topping is nicely crisp & crude in its feel- and is balanced/ blended with the other textures well. The second track sees a speeding & slightly cluttering billow meeting a loose/ rapid skitter- sadly this track felt too simplistic, meaning my concentration stared wane within a few minutes- so it’s the first of track for me.

Disc four finds “Grey Sky Worship I” and “Grey Sky Worship II”. The first ‘wall’ blends rapidly rumbling 'n' rolling low-end, topped with skitter ‘n’ skating static. I rather like the way these two elements are balanced to creating an urgent & keen whole ‘wall’- making it one of the more entrancing moments of the box set. The second track feels a little more full/ at points muddled in it’s blending crusty-yet-rapid hacking drone & cluttering chop. Meaning sadly my attention did tend to wonder/ drift off over the tracks playtime- though I do rather like the crusty-hack, it’s just a pity it wasn’t better defined.

On disc five we have “Static Purity I” and “Static Purity II”. First up we find a hissing sustain meeting a looped processed clutter, which is both faint & blunt in it’s feel. The hiss is nicely sweeping & baying in its attack, it’s just the secondary element could have been a bit better worked & defined. The second track sees the bringing together of a buzzing & slight throbbing drone, with a constantly flowing hiss 'n' swim- I really enjoy the mix of seared sustain & almost harmonic droning of this track, and I’d say of the whole set this is one of the original/ distinctive moments here.

Finally, on disc six we find “Reclusion I” and “Reclusion II”. The first track focuses in on rapidly rolling bass billow, with a subtle suggestion of jittering grain-based noise. It’s certainly a 'wall' that’s both nicely crude & nasty in its attack, though the lack of textural detail makes the whole thing feeling a bit tiring after around the halfway mark. The second track returns to the slightly more lulling feel of the start of the box set- with a mixture of cluttering static-meeting circling static jitter. Of the two I certainly say the second track is the better, due to it’s more worthy blend of textures.

It’s great to see Harsh Noise London putting out a multiple wall-noise box set like Noise Wall Compendium- as in recent years these have  been fairly rare in the scene. Sure the material over the six-hour playtime is somewhat mixed in its quality/ appeal, but there are some most worthy/ effective moments here- and course due to the subjective  way each person listens to wall-noise, you may well enjoy the tracks I disliked.
