Sharpwaist – Poison Harbor C30

Sharpwaist – Poison Harbor C30
Razors and Medicine
Sharpwaist offers some of the best industrial/power electronics in the world and hails from my very own hometown Boston. It is the project of Carl Haas who has been active in the scene since the mid 2000s. Yet, the project has managed to keep a dedidedly low profile.
This is some of Sharpwaist’s best work. The raw character that pervades most of his recordings is still here, yet this time it’s coupled with a ferocity not seen in his earlier endeavors. This material hits hard …

The Artists

Oneirogen (Brooklyn, New York)
Oneirogen – Numina
NYC based multi-instrumentalist Mario Diaz de Leon creates hallucinatory walls of sound with electric guitar, electronics, and acoustic instruments. His project ONEIROGEN descends into a territory of unsettling synths and distortion, framed by metal, noise, industrial, and modern composition. The project was initiated in 2012 with the release of “Hypnos”, which brought widespread acclaim among fans of experimental and heavy music for its varied and cinematic intensity. The new album, “Kiasma” (released March 2013 on Denovali), maintains a strong …

4/12 – Sannhet, Ehnahre, Fórn, Øde

((((Facebook Event Listing))))
The Artists

Sannhet (Brooklyn, New York)
Sannhet – Absecon Isle
Sannhet is an instrumental experimental metal band featuring members Christopher Todd – drums and samples, John Refano – guitar and loopers, and AJ Annunziata – bass guitar. Straddling the line between clear riffs and static, Sannhet’s songs were highly structured, but drenched in a top layer of noise–much like the garbled images one can almost make out under TV snow.
Expect a barrage of harmonically complex post-everything building to a climax only to pinnacle into further obliteration.

Ehnahre (Boston, MA)

Theologian – The Chasms of My Heart CD

Theologian – The Chasms of My Heart CD
Crucial Blast
Here’s the latest release from Lee Bartow the man behind now defunct project Navicon Torture Technologies. 2012 was a busy year with at least 2 new full-length releases from Bartow under the Theologian moniker. For those of you who haven’t experienced the new chapter in his work what you can expect is less power electronics, and more power drone. Although Theologian sound isn’t too far off from the bar set by NTT in the past.
The Chasms of My Heart is probably one …

Overlook Hotel is the softmore effort from Kristoffer Nystrom’s Orkestar; the collaborative project between Swedish industrial legend Peter Nystrom (Megaptera, Negru Voda), and Norwegian up and comer Kristoffer Oustad (V:28, Plague Machinery).

EE17: VERDANT – SINCERITY CD

*purchase this from the shop*

Verdant is Zach Adams who is also the man behind BKPR the esoteric and obtuse harsh noise project of relative obscurity. With this new work Adams presents a new dimension to noise in the form of quiet power electronics. The work of Verdant focuses on spoken word, secret promises, dusty corners, delicate instruments, and obsolete equipment. In the span of a few tracks Verdant’s sound can range from a seething attack of brooding noise and industrial to carefully constructed soundscapes that have been packed away in …
