Vomir/Mixturizer — Split
On the first side we find Vomir offering up an ‘untitled’ track which goes straight for the throat with a bucking, crusty and rough ‘wall’ of quite fast moving HNW tones. The ‘walls’ built around two crassly weaved tones; one that’s doing a flapping and caustically flipping pattern like a half dead fish on a electrocuted plate. And the other one that’s flicking between rapid 'sewage spurting on a tin floor' tone and jagged static speaker like caustic stabs. The track like most of Vomirs work keeps nicely crude, crusty and focused on making a relatively unchanging and suffocating wall of sound. That said there does seem a little bit more movement in the tones grain than you’d normal expect- yet there are no great structural changes or deviations here. Another very entrancing, crusty and nasty slice of HNW making from Vomir.
Over on Side two we have the Mixturizer track which is entitled ‘Negrativo’ and this track comes slowly into sonic sight with a mixture of speed-up raid siren bays, rumbling army lorry tier roars and sudden cattle prod like zaps. As the track moves into the two minute mark it becomes a lot thicker, morerumbling and alvanace like in it’s feel as it pounds down around you like hundreds of boulder roaring down on you. By the six minute mark there's a juddering feedback swamped synth tone rising with helicopter like slices through it with and sudden glancing blows of boulder rumbling coming in here and there too. The rest of the track alternates and snakes through more rumbling and descending avalanche tones, throbbing synth feedback growls, dense and seared TV areal fuzz-outs and thick electrical clouds of tone suffocation. To my ears this track is Harsh Noise with some ‘wallish’ like moments- it’s on the whole quite an eventful and seared shifting wall of sound though I do wish the track had dwelt and focused more in on the great avalanche and rumbling tones. All told it’s ok, but not quite what I expected when this split is sold as a purely HNW release.
So in summing side one gives you a distinctively nasty and crusty slice of HNW from Vomir and side two offers up a competent enough slice of thick Hash noise making with some ‘wallish’ stretchers in it.
