Vo)))id + Catacombs Of Doom - Blood Ritual


This was also new for me. I traded this album for some of my own stuff, without actually knowing if I'd like tehse two artists or not. That's sometimes the way to get to know some of your favourite bands/projects, and guess what, I loved it.
First of all, the packaging is awesome. Like everything else from Toxic Industries, it's like opening a birthday present when receiving the package you ordered. This time the album came in a folded strong textured paper, covered in red candle drippings. It absolutely adds to the momentum of the album.
It starts of with Vo)))id's side, which is some classic drone-bient, low and brooding. Sometimes I thought it became a bit loud, but that's because the track i climbing to it climax, which doesn't seem so loud anymore when you pass it. Catacombs Of Doom, adding some churchbells to the mix, brings with him the same kind of ambient tonescapes, not copying Vo)))id's style, but complimenting it by giving balance to the entire thing.

Released: Toxic Industries, October 2009, limited to 40.

01. Vo)))id - Intro
02. Vo)))id - Ritual
03. Vo)))id - Prayer

1+1= a window - Black & Red

Official Sponsor of






Another 1+1 release, it seems he only releases 3" ep's, which is fine; some longer albums tend to start of sounding amazing, but then repeat the concept over and over for 40 minutes, and that's not good noise.
This however screams of horror, and that in a very good way. It shrieks like previous discography entries, but plays it with an extra eerie touch, reaching back into our memories of frightful events we blocked out ages ago.
Cover art is also pretty nice, a photograph made by the band itself.

Caligine - Ter



I'm extremely happy Caligine themself contacted me for this. I am a huge fan of Caligine, I love every release they made. They always seem to fuse folk elements with noise or ambient without any effort. In this release the folk is more prominent en the experimental edge slithers in between guitar strings.

Released: The Wool Shop Productions, March 2010, 30 copies.

Merzbow - Ouroboros



I told you I'd post this as soon s I got this. It arrived this afternoon and I'm listening to it right now. Some harsher part of the album has just passed and we've landed in some mellow Fantail-like sizzling. It's quite capturing. The album artwork is amazing, that's actually the reason I bought this one, I expected it to be full of merzdrums again so I didn't really care that much about the music. Fortunately there are no explicit drum samples present, straight up old school noise (with a modern touch).

Dotåbåtå - Red Wall

Again no image, but hey, quit your nagging, you're still getting the music..
This is the best release he's done. Ever. It has everything he's known for. There are dreamy ambient ideas, a bit darker than usual, layered with haunting howls and screams, which makes it eerie as hell, and there are harsher analogue noise tantrums, bashing their way through the entire release.
This is again one of my own cassette rips, so the quality of the sound is lower than the original (and not in a wav-to-mp3 kind of way...). If you like what you're hearing, then definitely get a copy before they run out.

Dotåbåtå - For Birthing Applications

Bizzcard release by mr Dotåbåtå. It was harsh, fast and over pretty sudden. It was a fine release, but it didn't quite fit in his discography, he already made some harsh noise, but not like this before. It felt a bit dry.

Released: Self-released, 2010, limited to 11 copies.

Dotåbåtå - Experimental Procedure



I realize this isn't a great picture, but the batteries from my camera are dead at the moment and you won't find any other pictures of this releas on the web because it is super rare!
If Dotåbåtå wants this removed, I totally understand, because he only made three copies (as far as I know) and he released it myself. I could however tell you this is nothing like the original cassette, as I don't have very good equipment to rip cassettes to mp3's, and it all comes out mono as wel.
I realize that he specifically said "No Digital" on an inserted paper, but hey, what can I say. It's not that I myself will listen to this on my computer, I'll use the original cassette, but this blog is all about sharing music and I don't want to make duplicates of this cassette and distribute them myself, that would be even worse than what this pirate's doing..

Anyway. Wall-like noise. All analog. Pretty awesome. I'm sorry about the quality.

I never got a physical copy of this one myself, as I'm a little low on money at the moment (you know all the stuff I've bought.. ^^(I also bought Ouroboros by Merzbow, I'll rip 'n upload as soon as I get it)), but it'd be definitely worth it. The album, how short it may be, creates a wonderful atmosphere, a soft wallnoise kind of thing intertwined with out of place chiptune blips and boops. It's really a one of a kind release.

Boar - Man's Greatest Fish



We love the Boar-man. Harsh yet delicate. I was lucky enough to get this in the mail not too long ago, together with some other nefarious nutcracking soundbits which i'll be posting hopefully soon. It's more of the same actually, there's no real variation on the familiar Boar sound, but that isn't a bad thing.
The CD came in a selfmade plastic sleeve, consisting of two megatough plastic sheets stapled together. It was hard to get the CD out of that pvc prison, but it was worth it.

Numbered, painted and bagged with artwork & goodies.

Somehow, this diverse compilation of folk, noise, harsh noise, power electronics, ambient and drone all flows together flawlessly like a nonsensical, mixed-media collage. Enjoy the dirty murmur of the UK's Luminous (Tim Chaplin), the drone-meets-noise creations of Sensible nectar, the industrial noise of Inappropriate King Live, and finally the innocent, young, dream-pop folk of Redroot and The Human Exucse all in one spray painted, hand-numbered, hand-assembled, hand-stamped package with full color artwork inside.

Sensible Nectar + Gorgonized Dorks - Split c62

Official Sponsor of







I recently came in contact with some Sensible Nectar stuff, which was as good as the project's name. It had a bit of everything in it, which makes it fun to listen to.

This jam-packed cassette presents some of Sensible Nectar's most introspective and creative recordings yet as well as the latest works by the seasoned Gorgonized Dorks from Culver City, CA. With lyrics extremely political in nature, Justin Marc Lloyd of Sensible Nectar manages to drag you up and down the entire spectrum of harsh noise and nauseating psychedelia, complimented by the Dorks' masterpiece of frustrating and face-melting synth and feedback blasts, all the while living up to their reputation for being one of the craziest two-pieces in all the universe. Hand-stamped, black and purple, carefully spray-painted cassettes individually packaged with full-color cut-outs from a 1990's cat book. Each insert is unique and cute as well as disturbing depending on the nature of the photo. Lyrics and track information inside.

I thought I do some Fear And Aghast right now. Some time ago somebody asked me to post some more ambient stuff, and though he reffered to a pretty unknown artist, this was is even prettier and unknowner.
He doesn't speak much English from what I've heard, but his ambience speaks a million words (or some other meshed metaphor).

I didn't realize I hadn't posted anything yet by Japanese noisician NRYY. He's a bit fastpaced and perhaps a bit repetitive (in the litteral sense of the word), but he certainly has his good moments. And yeah, we all just fall in love with every Japanese dude who picks up a guitar effects pedal, or don't we do that anymore..?
Anywho, both pretty solid. I have some more of both waiting for you, be ready.
