RRR — Ritual

Ritual is the second part of this projects trilogy of HNW releases, which appeared in CDR format in late summer 2015 under the banner of Body Connection. As with the other parts to this trilogy this release offers up a single slice of  fixed, battering & ugly walled noise.

The thirty eight minute track is built around a mixture of smeared & muffled low-end buffeting, which is topped with  crust of unrelenting rattling/ juddering texturing. The low-end has a nicely crude, raging & murky subterranean quality to it, while the rattling/juddering features an effective feeling of trapped or imprisoned rage. The whole thing rather brought to mind some diabolic & sleazy  creature stuck inside a  barred & subterranean cave- as it  rages & shakes against the bars, trying break it’s way out as a ice cold wind batters  at it’s back.

As crude & nasty walled noise go this is fairly effective; but I must say I do miss the more locked down & pronounced synth elements this project had employed on their pervious releases; as I really felt that element did  make them stand out a little with-in the walled noise genre. But that said if you’re after ugly, brutal, raging, head-battery &  firm walled noise this is worth a look.
