Black Leather Jesus<\/a>\/Creation Through Destruction<\/a> – Split CD<\/p>\n

Terror<\/a><\/p>\n

Harsh noise is the name of the game once again from this heavy split release with each artist presenting 2 long ass tracks. The artwork is interesting, yet it seems like this split brings together two quite unrelated concepts so it comes across as more of just a 2 for 1 deal instead of a consistent artistic project, although the sounds do manage to compliment each other well.<\/p>\n

Creation Through Destruction kicks things off with pure blasts of pedal noise. The material is nicely layered with a lot of constant changes to make for more of a flowing noise surge. The quality is quite crusty but also smooth in a lot of places. The spectrum of sound doesn’t achieve super high or very low tones which is one thing that sets this material back a touch. Neither is it very original, but a solid slab of noise it certainly is.<\/p>\n

Black Leather Jesus presents more of what they’re known for: no holds barred harsh wall noise. As usual this sound doesn’t quite cut-it for me, the first track Stall Exhibitionists<\/i> sounding like a demented carnival thrown through a distortion pedal. Luckily they up the ante much more with Bearfighter<\/i> – which is also a great song title – ripping out the crunchy noise textures and just destroying them for the rest of the track. <\/p>\n

The split seems a touch awkward due to the irrelevance of the concepts but it serves up a hearty plate of harsh noise that will fill even the most ravenous of noise fans. If you’ve heard harsh noise before you know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
