The disc begins with
"Plasma Europa" and it's perfect blend of Noise-y harshness with
Death Industrial synth-buzz. A few strange samples seeping
through the cracks and the vocals lean more towards DI-style than
PE. No angry shouting, just heavily filtered monotone deliveries. "My
Murder" is one of my favorites on the disc, full-on Genocide Organ old
school PE damage. More wild sampling, harshness and I think I hear
some distant junk abuse on "Let The Stars Burn Bright". Another
track bringing the traditional PE/Industrial vibe is "Guardians
Of Immortality", great lingering feedback, mechanical thumps,
junk abuse and disorienting, multi-vocal layering. This is
another favorite.
"...What About You?" is a full-on overblown synth roar, loud enough
to shake the acoustic tiles out of my ceiling. Next up is
another Death Industrial tinged track, "Loputon Marssi #2",
heavy static rumbles over subdued, distant vocals and enough low-end
thunder to make your neighbors call the cops. "Operation
Gladio" seems like an extension of the previous track, but
gets progressively more aggressive and violent. The album closer is
"Nailed (Again)". Hissy, mechanical loops revolve and spit
eventually rising to a fever pitch. The vocals are so filtered
and distorted they just serve to add another source of noise to the mix. Besides
bringing excellent sounds to the table and constructing them well, one
thing I like is the ability to keep them short and too the point.
And he seems to keep things minimal but interesting. A lot of
PE/Noise seem to take the more is better route until things are a
soupy mess. The disc is housed in a nice, white cardboard box with
the cover art affixed to the top, an insert and two Grey
Wolves-style art-war cards. This release seems still pretty readily
available, so I thought I'd point out this over-looked gem to those who
might have missed it.
