Bacillus<\/a> – Anthracis BCCDR<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since I’ve received a release on a business card! This format is just as awkward as it ever was, yet the packaging is very well put together with folded transparencies, acute text, and it’s all encapsulated in a biohazard bag. Very fitting for the concept of Bacillus’ sound.<\/p>\n

I’ve been exposed to quite a few tracks from Bacillus and have enjoyed what I’ve heard. However, it seems Bacillus has really degraded his sound for Anthracis as this material is exceptionally lo-fi, gritty, and awkward. First off, the tracks each average about a minute long, and they are all extravagantly titled with names like Inhalation of Weapons-Grade Spores in De-Staticized Aerosol Agent<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Finally after precariously placing the CDR in my drive and hoping it was aligned correctly, I played the entirety of it’s 5 minute running time a few times over. The sound here is extremely crunchy lo-fi noise, possibly recorded onto a shitty 4 track or something. All harsh, all the time, with random start\/stops in High Level of Antiphagocytic Virulence Factor<\/i> which add an almost improvised feel.<\/p>\n

Anthracis is by no means Bacillus’ strongest material. This little gem is out there more for the collectors than for the harsh heads. It’s a must have if you dig tape hiss, crumbling lo-fi distortion, and biohazard concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
