RRR — Flesh Control

[Porn Noise Records — 2015]★★★★★
Reviewed 3 February 2016by Roger Batty
Flesh Control is a forty minute slice of searing & raging walled noise from this French HNW/ Harsh noise project. The release comes in the form of a CDR, which appears on the French sleaze, violence & noise label Porn Noise Records.

The black & white labelled CDR comes on  double sided cd sized sleeve. On the outside glossy cover we get a picture of a  distressed women with duct tape over her eyes. And on the un-glossy  reverse we get  a picture of a women pointing a gun at the camera.

The 40.26 minute wall is based around two key textures- we have a muffled, murky, and muddy low-end rapid rumble. And a mid-to- semi high pitched jittering.  The low end rumble is fairly firm in it’s  focus through-out the track. While  the jittering shifts  from tense yet wider spread battering's,  onto more seared, dense & rapidly hammering down-attacks.  All this creates an appealing yet ear & head scalding wall-noise ride

The past wall work I’ve heard from this project has often been quite firm & fixed, so it’s interesting to hear it doing something slightly more caustically active HNW. And on the whole I’d say this is a effective mid-length wall that fits the sleazed & violent themes of the release.
