V/A – God Blast America! DVD
NATO
This is a real treat for those of us who – years later – are still kicking ourselves for missing this mammoth show. The coverage is as comprehensive as one could possibly ask for – not every full set is featured here but it is easily over 2 hours worth of material. The production of both the audio and video is astounding considering the live condition in which it was captured. Visually – as with the audio – each set has it’s own mood which …

Fueled by a lack of substance in the mainstream, radio stations that play the same 20 songs for hours upon hours; the Blood Dirt Compilation series has been founded on a mission of delivering music that is unique and pushing the envelope in ways that represents a general distaste for conventional tact and recording styles. Blood Dirt Cassettes is proud to present the listener with an amalgam of sounds/found sounds and manipulated effects to engage the listener in a diverse and moving experience. Each artist …

Reviver is a hidden gem in the land of New England whose sound can be described as death tone drone; low rumbling feedback and pulsating synth noise with little breathing room. Christopher Donofrio is the soul entity behind this sickened sound and has so far presented a discography of consistent and pummeling sounds while evolving in his own unique way within the confines that he has set for himself. Add to this regular live performances and a taste for the obscure in everything from music to beer and we are …

Dead Boomers – The Pig In The Python LP
Sabbatical
These dudes are from Australia, they played in Boston a few weeks ago and put on a pretty damn good show. Here is their first LP, I think it may be their softmore release. Dead Boomers are a duo and their sound could be described as what a war between The Cathode Terror Secretion and Wolf Eyes would sound like.
Dead Boomers use stylistic queues from industrial, noise, drone, and power electronics to form an excellent and cohesive sound. Most tracks here have …

Andrew Quitter – Floaters Original Sound Track CDP
Dumpsterscore Home Recordings
Andrew Quitter is the man behind Dumpsterscore Home Recordings and the heavy synth drone project Regosphere. Quitter is a quickly rising up-and-comer in the international noise scene having released some excellent recordings as well a large amount of split releases with the likes of Content Nullity and Extraordinary Pigeons. He is clearly one step ahead of me having already released another new album under his own name entitled..
Here he is though, releasing music under his own name and it seems to …

Vancouver, from the view of a postcard.

By Kate Rissiek
Vancouver is a city of mixture and contrast. It is a young city still trying to define itself. Home of the 2010 winter Olympics and the city in Canada with the mildest weather. It’s gray and it rains most of the time. It is embarrassing to only be known for hockey riots and marijuana activism. It is expensive to live here. There are many cultures and religions and always many tourists visiting. There are wild forests, mountains and water. Laid back attitudes …

Thanks to Mikko Aspa over at Special Interests and Sage Weatherford at Heathen Harvest for the in-depth and opinionated reviews!!!
GM Electronics – Trashwalker CDR
From Heathen Harvest webzine:

GM Electronics is a decade-old experimental / noise project from UK-based sound explorer Jirí Balšínek. Though originally from Hustopece, Czech Republic, his relocation to Driffeld, UK seems to put him in place for a larger audience, even though the town is 30 miles from the closest city in York. Though you’re more likely to know him through this project, Jirí also owns …

Cut Hands (London, United Kingdom)
Cut Hands – Backlash
Cut Hands is William Bennett who founded Whitehouse in 1980, with a mind to creating “the most extreme music ever recorded”. They succeeded. The group remained at the forefront of the experimental and noise scenes over the next 27 years, invariably creating controversy and stimulating debate with their choice of violent and sexual subject matter, before eventually disbanding in 2007. A specialist in linguistics and unconscious communication, Bennett now helms the mass hypnosis experimental project, Extralinguistic …
