Description
We are excited to announce a new four-way split CD, that introduces two newer artists to a wider audience and sees the debut of two seasoned veterans' new projects.
Trep. Enuc. is a newer project from Minneapolis with a few digital demos out, as well as doing some serious gigging over the past year, helping run the Tourniquet concert series in Minneapolis, while honing his craft in the studio. Combining slow-burn harsh noise, tape manipulation, obscure samples and field recordings with elements of death industrial and power electronics, he has come up with a sound not tied to a specific genre, but blending his influences into a personal unique sound and vision that expands and contracts over the course of three tracks here. Thick waves of bass, charred tape manipulation harsh noise and rhythmic field recording mantras leave a lot of room for new details to be found on repeated listening.
Violent Grief is a project from Nottingham, England, who has one self-released tape out, as well as two digital EPs. With a sound that harkens back to the old-school ambient/drone acts in the noise scene, who were not afraid to add grit and grime to their tracks using heavy analog synths and effects instead of the pristine samples and digi-verbs common today, creating a kind of heavy, harsh ambient that demands your attention, sucking you in to it's growing void. Here, he gives one sprawling dense track of thick pulsating drones, masterfully growing, filling the sound spectrum and on the edge of break-up into oblivion without ever going over the cliff. The use of restraint throughout, letting the layers build in their own time to build to an intense conclusion, shows his powerful compositional skills.
Concrete Moon is the new project of Andrew Quitter (Dumpsterscore/Regosphere/Suburbia Melting). Wanting a release from the inevitable genre restraints and expectations that come with having a long standing project, Concrete Moon was conceptualized as an anything goes project, including Quitter's influences from industrial, punk, dub reggae, krautrock and anything else that comes out during the sessions. Based on one long modular improvisation molded into three tracks, thick malevolent drones ooze from the speakers, before giving way to distorted murky dub bass lines, crunchy drums, waves of fuzzed out pads and field recordings and a kraut-punk ending with crusty guitars, motorik drums and intense psychedelic synths.
(.....) is the untitled project of long-time upstate New York sound terrorist D. L. (Black Bloc/Compromised Position) who has been active for the better part of 20 years and released many underrated power electronics albums as well as extensive touring in the U.S.. This untitled project, written as (.....) on flyers (and now releases), has actually been in existence for the better part of a decade, but until now, only as a live project doing intense ritualistic shows sporadically throughout the years. For this first release he has given a conceptually driven pitch black ambient track with distinct stark soundtrack and black metal influences. The sound of medical machines and heavy breathing gradually morph into devastating melancholic bass heavy dark ambient with droning and melodic passages, before disappearing back into the ether making you feel like a ghost watching yourself on a hospital bed slowly fading away.
