V/A – People Who Do Noise DVD
Cold Hands Video
People Who Do Noise is a documentary video about noise in Portland. The director has chosen to portray the current state of the Portland noise scene through interviews and staged performances with the artists involved. This decision was probably for the best because I would only imagine having some disembodied narrator attempting to set some kind tone for the film either being too serious, or too flippant to get the film’s point across. But, it’s really the lack of agenda that seems …

Zerfallt – To Know The Love of Young Witches C46
Semata Productions
Zerfallt is a project I am well aquainted with having gone on the road with Mr. Tindell last year. I feel my bias might be worth mentioning, although I truly don’t think my friendship with Lee affects this review. To Know the Love of Young Witches features 4 tracks, two on each side of this 46 minute cassette tape. The design is quite well done using black and green tones with shifty text and featuring a J card which is …

V/A – Bullshit Detector 2008 CDR
Audio Immolation Industries
Now THIS is a BAD ASS noise comp!!! First of all, fucking awesome idea. Bullshit Detector offers noise remixes and re-interpretations of anarcho-punk, hardcore, and metal songs. With many of the people on the punk/hardcore/metal end of the “extreme music” spectrum doubting the power of noise/industrial let them doubt no more and look no further then Bullshit Detector 2008.
There’s not one track on this compilation I dislike. Every artist delivers their best here with an absolutely consistent lineup. Concrete Violin offers a great …

Climax Denial – The Absolute Bottom C45
Husk
Climax Denial’s The Absolute Bottom makes for some great late-night listening. And, as I’m finding out now it doesn’t have to only be enjoyed at extremely loud volumes. The tape is decent quality, the mixing and production are lo-fi but extremely full and powerful right in all the places it needs to be. With two tracks on side A and 4 on side B it’s well paced and varied enough to provide interest for many repeated listens.
The opener “What I’ve Seen” is so simple …

Navicon Torture Technologies – Gospels of the Gash 2xCD
Malignant Records
NTT is one of those projects that just refuses to stay dead. This release comes after the stated demise of the project but delivers as if it is still very well alive in all it’s savagery. Gospels of the Gash is most easily compared to NTT’s previous double disc set the Church of Dead Girls also released in a snazzy-looking digipak. The artwork is familiar as glossy abstracted women-parts bedazzle the symmetrical fold out pro-pressed package. It’s minimalist sheen pleases though …
