Gnawed/Swollen Organs C26
Danvers State Recordings
This review is total filler. I mean come on, do you really need to read commentary about Power Electronics/Death Industrial done by two artists who are pretty awesome at what they do? Am I going to reveal some brilliant insight to you? Not really, this isn’t the type of shit that should exactly surprise anyone. This is more like a tip of the hat to a pair up that deserves being mentioned.
First the bad news – Danvers State is all out of …
Aderlating – Gold Streams From The Angel’s Throat Part 1 C30
Fall Of Nature Records
Mories has patented a particular sound by using tension to build up to a rich ejaculation of violent, ear bleeding sounds which often incorporates black metal elements.

Noise grind is not so much a genre as it is an excuse to completely stack overflow your discogs page with mostly meaningless releases, a move that was predestined by the Belgian bred Agathocles. Japan’s Sept Star Sete similarly has been climbing this shining path over the last several years themselves by releasing a gaggle of mostly completely useless band splits to occupy grind collector freaks. Kind of in the same way a dope rapper might make him/herself look good by giving …
Private Archive – Honey Aspic Enema C30
Private Archive
My immediate visceral impression is that Private Archive is going for the particular type of tone and mood that bands like Sleep Chamber have capitalized on: incorporating drugs, sex, and manliness into the salacious din of fuck den synthesizers with some rhythm. It works for some artists when it plays out more like a dirty secret than a porn theater exhibition. Honey Aspic Enema leans more towards the former category.
Let’s get it out of the way: the packaging is kind of …
