Frank Rosaly – Centering and Displacement LP
Utech Records
This record has made me realize that although I do love vinyl – with the large artwork, the heavy packaging, the analog concept and the physical ties to an abstract medium – I will still choose to listen to a compact disc if given a choice. That’s because this LP comes with a compact disc of the same material that is on the record and I’m realizing I haven’t listened to the actual record at all even though I’ve rocked the CD a …

Murderous Vision/Defiler – Split 7″
Live Bait Recording Foundation
Here’s a sickened slab of wax featuring two dark noise artists at their best. Defiler is a name that somehow seems familiar to me, but in which way I cannot recall. Murderous Vision is of course the long-running project of Mr. Stephen Petrus hailing from Ohio and active for many years.

Defiler is up first with one track entitled Your Diseased Icon. This is …

Evil Moisture – Goo LP
Blossoming Noise
Straight from the Blossoming Noise camp comes this LP featuring some great design. With tongue-in-cheek graphics featuring people from the 50s with musical instruments, tape machine diagrams all on a baby blue/white color scheme the graphics match the sounds well and this is my first exposure to the sounds of Evil Moisture.

Circuit Wound – Fight Or Flight CDr
Nefarious Activities
Circuit Wound is a Simi Valley, CA resident making rusty, dirty drone/noise. With releases all over the board (Troniks, the legendary Harshnoise, Monorail, Hospital, Rainbow Bridge, Trash Ritual, 905), you could say Circuit Wound is a prolific noise experiment with heavy quality control. It is more than obvious from this release alone that Howard does not just press record.
Starting off with a metallic and mildly distorted organ(?) drone, the nastiness builds until my temples feel like they are in a vice. And don’t …

The Artists

Ehnahre (Boston, MA)
Ehnahre – The Clatterbones
The master of 20th century music, Arnold Schoenberg, declared the “liberation of the dissonance” to be essential for the progress of music as an art form. Nowhere is this currently more apparent than in the world of metal, and other extreme music. Ehnahre wholly embraces that philosophy, and it consummately informs their music.

Sewer Goddess is prepared to deliver a psychologically debasing set executed in three movements from a collective …
