The Artists
Anasazi (New York, NY)
Anasazi – Bone Collector
Deranged and violent Post-PUNK from New York City. A tribal disaster the ancestors would hate… Anasazi, who’ve suddenly surfaced over the past 2 years, play hateful hymns for happy people. Crucially conflicted, controversially cannibalistic: Ancient Pueblan-Wave at its best.
Dekoder (Montreal, Canada)
Dekoder – Hate Song
Dekoder began in the spring of 2010 as a side projects of other bands (Complications). Members either left their other bands and some just disbanded focusing more on Dekoder and eventually recorded …
Husere Grav – s/t CDR
Small Doses
This is an older release that’s been lurking in my review pile for quite some time. Somehow though, I’ve always been drawn to the artwork with its grey hopeless imagery and classy handmade style.

Drag Age – Mask of a Crushed Insect C12
Out-of-Body Records
Drag Age’s Mask of Crushed Insect is a heavy piece of synth drone. The sound here is mostly death industrial with very little in the high end. Not a lot of deviation from a typical death industrial/power electronics sound is done here, and at only about eleven minutes in length, Mask of a Crushed Insect doesn’t really bring anything new to the table at all.
The sound is heavy and deep all the way through. The first track breaks up the drone …
En Nihil – Pyres C40
Maniacal Hatred
En Nihil is a death industrial project that’s been around since the mid-nineties. When I first received this tape I did a double-take, finding myself curious to see if this was the project of old. With Pyres En Nihil shows that the passage of time has not dulled his skills but rather sharpened them to a hallowed point.
With 20 minutes per side there is a wealth of material and a variety of textures and passages are presented as well, yet at the same time keeping …
