Pounding martial-death, released at the dawn of the experimental scene's 2nd golden age (by one of modern martial's founders). It's emo as fuck and unapologetically ebm-gothy...but it also comes from the more nazi end of that scene that listens to earliest Laibach over current Laibach (repetition and experimentation are preferred to poppin' a pussy on the dance floor). More nazi = more fun. The project quickly evolved into a symphonic style that borders on a religious experience...but at light speed out the dog-track gate, this "demo" was already an impressive debut!
Otaku Party - Demos 2008 / 2009
I like this more than I should, so (re) up it goes. Spoken-vocal French noisecore that oddly reminds me of Man Is The Bastard's early freak outs (with the rarest segue into VERY short blastbeats). The arrangements and playing ability are several notches above shit-fi, and because of how those arrangements "are", I'm thinking the band was more influenced by global thrash over a strict regiment of Kyushucore (though there's nerdery afoot in their name). The result is engaging, surprisingly noteworthy, and still completely refreshing several short years on. They never got any vinyl, what the hell?
