Knurl – Thiocarbamide CD<\/p>\n

Phage Tapes<\/a><\/p>\n

Harsh noise is the name of the game and with Thiocarbamide Knurl makes himself a key player. The artwork depicts corrosion – lots of it – with rusty metal, gritty textures and old machinery.<\/p>\n

Taking no time to get into the thick of things Knurl explodes the album with the opener Morphocrylate<\/i> a blistering barrage of distorted sounds, junk metal, crunchy starts\/stops, screeching feedback and everything that makes a harsh noise album great. Neuromyositis<\/i> follows suit with yet another obliteration of sound.<\/p>\n

Even following into the second half of the disc, Phemus<\/i> continues exactly where Neuromyositis<\/i> left off and it becomes apparent that Knurl is not about to let up. However Phemus<\/i> goes through a few passages where the white-hot noise continues but where certain elements take the forefront. One such element is a wailing electric guitar solo which I have to admit really is at odds here with the bulk of the album and which really ruins the barrage of harsh industrial assaults. <\/p>\n

Where Phemus<\/i> clocks in at 12 minutes, you can begin to brace yourself for a long run of less complete chaotic destruction with the 23 minute Rization<\/i>. Finally embracing a different tactic here Knurl employs a noisy drone which eventually erupts once again into harsh noise madness to kill off the last of the listener\u2019s sanity.<\/p>\n

Thiocarbamide is pure harsh noise so be prepared for uncompromising audio attacks. This will definitely appeal to the harsh heads. As for me, I do enjoy this sort of thing but find it a touch generic as it is treading very familiar ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
