‘Eleven Notes in Black’ is a compilation of Houston based HNW, static crunching & general noise artists compiled by the scene’s most world wide know & respected name Richard Ramirez(Werewolf Jerusalem, Vice Wears Black Hose, Black Leather Jesus, ect).
'Conference of The Aquarians' is a rewarding collection of Sax & drum/ precussion based tracks which dips down in pumping yet tight improv, smoky jazz tone, ambient tone drifts & hammering prog beats meet jazz attacks & all manner of interesting & often cinematic/ mixed genre places.
‘Songs That Went Tin’ is a collection of unreleased tracks of sole’s distinctive often political, world cynical & apocalyptic rap craft from between the years 1998 & 2004.
After the 80’s hip-hop Mix-tape spirit of ‘The FREEhoudini deluxe’ Themselves return with their first true album since 02 ‘The No Music’ & I’ll have to admit that I have rather mixed feelings about the album as a whole.
'Four Films' finds the highly respected & versatile Trevor Dunn(Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, many Zorn related/ based projects & loads of other projects) offer up a varied & highly consistent collection of film music which literal goes all over the music map with great flare, atmosphere & creativity.
Italian Harsh Noise Wall project TFT have quite a different & unique take on making walls of noise. Instead of dwelling on the more analogue, murky & often deep tones of most of the genre they instead homing on more piercing, clean, precise & digital take on wall noise making.
'Eretz Hakodesh' is an album that darts & flirts between Marimba led & Hammond soaked circus music, theatrical & buoyant eastern Jazz wonderings, porn funked pop lined with Theremin ,Surf guitar crawls, and playful to exotic ambient tinged eastern jazz/world/ ambience. It’s certainly a playful, cheeky & buoyant ride through-out with the odd moments of staring longing over deserts sands epic-ness & atmosphere.
This is a compilation of Sam McKinlay’s (The Rita, Vice wears Black Hose, etc) more horror film sampled manipulated & straight noise based project BT.HN. Which started out live back in 2006 & is still releasing the odd item today. This 75 minute disc brings together 6 rare & out of print tracks; and it’s wholly consistent, fiery & rewarding horror drenched collection of tracks.
Hommage Au Duc De Reschwig (Homage To the Duke De Reschwig) is another unforgiving, thick and constant wall of noise from Vomir. This time around he offers up a 36 minute long caustic expanse of HNW making.
'XII Caesars' finds H.E.R.R creating their most dramatic, grand, theatrical & often approachable work so far. With the Dutch/ English five piece building a rich & varied concept album about the greedy, cruel & debauchery heavy life a dozen Roman emperors.
Death Factory is the early 80’s industrial toned, death industrial, grim analogue synth buzzed & slightly noise touched project of Chicago based Michael Krause. 'Prophecy of the Black Spider' offers up two 60 minute tape of grim 70’s & 80’s horror film influenced idustrlized electronics.
Nde are a two piece Belgian project & this is their debut album which is an ultra grim & unforgiving mixture of clamouring & often speedy lo-fi black metal, barren & evil martial drums, sometime ritual touched death industrial tone, & general noisy/ blacked matter.
For much of it’s running time 'Panoptic' mangers to summon up this wonderfully heady yet doomed feeling of 3am paranoia & sleepless-ness. It’s an album that somehow mangers to sound strange & awkward, hypnotic, drowsy & bizarrely soothing often all at the same time.
Kataract finds Daniel Menche harnessing & morphing field-recordings of waterfalls into one long picec of dramatic, often noisy & shifting sonic bombardment/ mood setting sonics.
The Psychogeographical Commission are a two piece English/ Scottish project who conjure up a sound that mixes together dark & swirling Coil like electronics, dark neo folk strum, and bleak joy Division or doomed English post punk like bassy lined indie guitar pop edgers.
Drevne Bolesti is a HNW project that brings together Norwegian Andreas Brandal (Flesh Coffin, Hour of the Wolf, etc) & Sarajevo based Sebastian Crnich (Smrznik, Ïîòåðÿííàÿ Ãîðëà ). This self titled is the projects first release & it offers up one long 40 minute track entitled 'Ancient Diseases' which is a thick & weather beaten wall of crunch & batter.
Fire in My Bones is an exceptional, varied & near faultless three disc compilation of African American Gospel music from between 1944 & 2007- which will appeal to anyone who enjoys passionate, varied & often suprising/off-kliter sonic fare.
´I´m Waiting For you…´ is a psychotic ranted slice of nasty sounding death industrial & slowed murderous Power electronics rants that very much bring to mind a more focus, less wondering & song biased take on Atrax Morgue.
Faceless is a very disturbing, original, often organic & brooding mixture of atmospheric guitar textures, cleverly placed field recordings & all manner of creative yet often uneasy sound making.
Bodies Floating In the Bay may sound like the name of another straight-up Gallio influence slice of HNW, and through there elements of walled noise here this is a much more complex & detailed beast that`s difficult to put into one noise bracket or genre.
Unsane is the first official & full length sonic offering from Italian Harsh noise project Alo Girl which is all the work of Cristiano Renzoni; runner of the Urashima label & the other half of Richard Ramirez An Innocent Young Throat-Cutter.
Nundata is a rather mysterious noise project I’ve seemingly been able to find little about…it’s even unclear were the project comes from some sources claim Japan others Serbia. Inudata is the first of a trilogy of concept albums but like the project it’s self’s it’s difficult to find any info on what the story is behind the album the only clue we have is the track titles “Last Iceberg collapse” & “Tsunami Warrior”.
Terra Sancta is an Australian project who has been involved in the creation of the most arid and desolate soundscapes since the mid 90´s. “Disintegration”, their latest effort, is a full length CD release on US Malignant Records and is a monument of cinematic wasteland and deeply buried mysticism.
