The boys over at Special Interests have been kind enough to write quite a glowing review for Human Larvae’s Home Is Where the Hurt Is CD released by Existence Establishment and still available from the store.
Here is the review in it’s entirety:
I had heard many good things about this project. Knowing his earlier harsh noise unit Broken Diode being good, I still hesitated checking out previous 3″cdr release simply due to format. Now Existence Establishment label from the USA was bold enough to invest money on full color digisleeve CD …

Bereft – Your Messiah Will Fail CDR
Bloodlust!
Your Messiah Will Fail is a New England project that consists of Peter Lee (patron of Force of Nature Productions and former member of :MOMENT:) and Andy Grant (patron of Danvers State Recordings and sole member of The Vomit Arsonist). What happens when these two heavy-weights of noise collaborate? Basically one of the most intense noise and power electronics albums to hit my stereo for a while.
The first two tracks here are completely devastating. “Hidden Agenda” within seconds is balls deep in blasts of …

Sewer Goddess – Verdigris 7″
Baseborn Records
Right off the bat this release delivers. I believe what I have here is the “deluxe edition” with an extremely heavy gatefold jacket with silver silkscreen and two inserts. All the artwork here is predictably lo-fi and high contrast but the vinyl is thick and the release obviously has a classy streamlined vision to it which can’t be ignored.
It appears the release is based on some murders that occurred in Oregon, and I’m guessing each track is named for one of the victims. Side A …

Regosphere – Gutter Swarm C60
DumpsterScore Home Recordings
Regosphere is a name which is quickly making it’s way to one of my current favorite active noise projects. If you’re not in the loop quite yet, Regosphere is Andrew Quitter the man behind the rising label DumpsterScore Home Recordings. Regosphere takes queues from such epic acts as Megaptera, …Today I’m Dead, and Atrax Morgue to form intensely layered washes of industrial noise.
Gutter Swarm is the first solo album I’ve heard from the project and let me say it is jam packed with #1 …

The Artists
Justice Yeldham (Darlinghurst, Australia)
What’s been described as “a trumpet player trapped in a two dimensional universe” is in fact the unique work of Justice Yeldham, a maverick musician with an unhealthy obsession with sheets of broken glass. In his infamous show that has astonished and bemused countless people in over 40 countries, yeldham ecstatically purses his lips against sheets of amplified glass whilst deftly employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries, turning discarded shards into crude musical instruments. The results are a wild …

ORDNANCE! is the only multimedia club night of it’s kind. On the first Friday of the month at 234 Main St. in Everett, MA, DJs conduct live drummers that in turn trigger lights, lasers and video to a bed of hard dance music including industrial, rhythmic noise, speedcore, gabber, techstep, idm, and more without caving in to pop music that is played far too often at other industrial related club nights.
Each ORDNANCE! features live guests that range from idm to power electronics …

Reviver – Crawlers Spit Black C30
905 Tapes
This is what I’ve been waiting for all along from Reviver. I’ve been following his work for a few years now and am finally getting around to spinning this tape and goddamn it delivers beyond expectations! Probably the most telling information here is the only credit going to Chris Donofrio the soul member of this death drone act as playing the “graphic eqs”. This isn’t much more than that, absolutely overblown synth drones pummeling me with their pure intensity and thick as mollasses sound. …

IRM – The Cult of The Young Men CD
Annihilvs
IRM’s The Cult of The Young Men is a deceptive work. On the surface the tracks seem quite simple, a repeating rhythm, be it a jarring piano key, or the echoing hum of a feedback pulse. Perhaps it might just be an organ-like drone joined by Bladh’s unmistakable barking delayed vocal attack and some rip-roaring scraping and torturing of junk – see the opener “The Cult of the Young Man” – but somehow IRM are able to take these basic elements and …
