Sea Monkeys - Demo #1 1986

WELL! It seems Portland had noisecore by the boo boo a decade before Frenzy and Suss Law were even squatters in their dad's balls! The band is "tight" like Cyanamid or Nihilistics, but I think the guitar tone was actually a plaything of the cheap stereo it was amped through than a conscious decision to cosplay as Confuse. 6 songs, 8 minutes, no song titles, and the only pathetic proof of the group's existence. Why do I like unremembered mud like this? Why does ANYBODY like unremembered mud like this? I'm fuckin' glad Mahler does, because it's his rip and remaster! Grootste ups jong China!!!






Invisible Domains - Compilation CD 1994 & Audio Drudge Issues 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 1992-1996

After several years of editing the zine/tape combo-pack "Audio Drudge", creator Jason Mantis officially rebranded himself as "Malignant Records" with this compilation CD themed entirely upon Ebola. Powerfully curated, only darktronic royalty were invited to this petechiae party, with Vromb, Soldnergeist, Lull, and Voice Of Eye expectedly providing the most virulent tracks. Comorbid with this upload are hi-res scans of Audio Drudge, minus issues 1 and 4 (which are bizarrely impossible to find).

I loved the zine but never clicked with the tapes. The duplication quality was substandard, and the artists chronically submitted material that was poorly representative of their work as a whole. Starting with Invisible Domains, Jason settled for nothing less than superior sound in all facets of it's assembly and exhibition, quickly immortalizing the label as a global institution for only the "purest" industrial and associated genres. Pandemic indeed!

 

Excrement Of War - "Cathode Ray Coma" CD 1994

Good ol' fashioned discore, as timeless as a bowl of hot porridge at granny's house. Stick was on drums, 2/7ths of Scandinavia were the influences, and the full length section of the disc (which includes their previous EPs) was recorded at "Whitehouse", Ripcord's final studio. Fuck with the EQs enough and you've got Crasher Crust, fuck with the politics enough and you get twatifa. I'll take the band as they were over BOTH those counts...

Filthy Christians - Earache Demo '88, Live Planet X '87 (Mahler's Rip), Live Bradford '87


Scandi blastbeat-crossover demigod! Another Faustian victim of Earache, the band had to wait nearly a year for the label to sloppily shit out their LP (and I deeply suspect manipulated their singer into copycatting the Dorrian/Harris duet model for it's recording, an unnecessary trend-hop as the O.G. vokes were already a monstrous hurricane of unfettered rage). The end result, including the "new" vocals, was actually DOPE (!), but within a few years and a few member dropouts the group embarrassingly transformed into the butt of one of their own songs: "JUST ANOTHER METAL BAND" (that even Earache didn't want).

It goes without saying I only uploaded the good stuff (I always do by default)...

DH Pamoash - "Spy Och Vara Äcklig" 7" 2007 & "122 Songs Of Basjmangel" 2xCDR 2008

Solo Svensk thrashpunk, like Tatuerade Snutkukar snorting flunitrazepam with Missbrukarna. A kindred spirit in chromosomal deficiency, I "put out" his gargantuan unreleased discography...which was just half the songs he could be fucked to find! What ever happened to the planned LP on Noise And Distortion?

The 4th International - "Destruction Of The Illusion Of Our Every Day" 8" Flexi 1983

Commie punk/core chimera from Japan. They heavily remind me of Gauze's style on the City Rockers comp LP ("slower" 1-2-beats and live-ish production) but without the City Rockers sized monetary "feel" (the very few times this flexi has shown up on Disbay, it's gone for TWO City Rockers). Likable enough for what it is and not what whackjobs say it should be...

Navicon Torture Technologies - "The Church Of Dead Girls" 2xCD 2002

An Alighierian tour through a sex-killer's necrotic psyche, a postnuclear realm where degenerated sigma wolves rape and mutilate...sometimes after death...whosoever stumbles into their lairs of disintegrating concrete and coagulated filth. WAAAITASEC, back that free candy van up...founder Lee Bartow once described it as an angst-blast about his love life in general!?!? There's no denying the ardor that fuels Lee's work, and The Church Of Dead Girls is probably the most visceral of his creations (it's definitely his most cohesively produced), but the only "love" I've ever felt from the discs is of homie smearing lipstick on the anus of a headless corpse before he makes out with it. The apex of edgelord krokodil, and you're just one plunger click away from its fatal final fix...


Lustmord & Robert Rich - "Stalker" CD 1995


That review actually resents me for composing it "on drugs" (weed) and conflating Brian Williams (Lustmord) with Graeme Revell because they were both in SPK (though Brian did roadie for Throbbing Gristle). I've got no real excuses, but neither will you if you don't click that link...
