Vessel of Flesh - Phallic Devotion [Basement Corner Emission - 2022]

Phallic Devotion presents us with a meatily jittering ‘n’ statically scraping example of the walled noise form from this Nashville based project. The release is a digital EP, which appears on Portland’s Basement Corner Emission.

Fitting in with the release's title the front cover features a picture of an ancient broken stone phallus on a black background. With white texts on the top and bottom of the cover.  And It can be found by following this here link 

As far as I can submerse from the project's bandcamp, it’s been active since the tail end of 2021. Going from their Bandcamp they’ve put out around twenty digital-only releases. And I believe this is my first taster of this project's work.

The release features a single EP- this is self-titled and comes in at the twenty four-minute mark. The ‘wall’ is constructed around a bothersome and boring low end, flitting & scraping static tone, and blunt hoovering bay. It’s a meaty, yet constricting wall- that nicely grinds, yet sadistically fidgets at your head. Sure neither texture is anything really distinctive or special, and the mix is debility muddy & blunt- but as weighty wall matter goes this is appealing enough.

If you're looking for muffled and nastily producer wall matter that’s bothersome and brutal, then this digital EP will certainly fit that need. Though I’m not sure if it offers up many repeat plays- as it does what it says on the box, and little else…so no sonic tricks or rewarding layer shifts here.
