I believe that this is the first noise album I've posted, and I know relatively little about the genre, so apologies for any mistakes. Whitehouse were one of the first power electronics groups, and are still going strong with their mixture of 'social commentary' and harsh noise. This is fun.
This is modern powerviolence at its best. Somewhat unusual for the genre in that it omits the slower parts, this CD is unrelenting for its duration of 27 tracks in 13 minutes. Awesome stuff. Go for it.
I have added these together as the Shatter EP was intended as an accompaniment to Eparistera Daimones. This is a continuation from Celtic Frost's final spectacular album, Monotheist, and is nearly as good, which says a lot. It's a combination of black metal, doom metal and a tendency to oddity, and is a must-hear.
Given the band's name, and indeed the punny album title, it's probably little surprise that the Scottish Bonesaw are an Autopsy worship band, perhaps a little punkier than those legends, but nonetheless hugely derivative and therefore hugely enjoyable. This is the album Autopsy should have made instead of 'Shitfun'.
This, Fukpig's sophomore effort (although the word 'sophomore' sounds too posh for music as primal as theirs) is to me, their best so far, and the obvious rip-offs of 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' in the title track and 'Angel Of Death' in 'This Is The News?' made me smile. There are probably more that I haven't noticed too, but it takes sheer audacity to rip off two of the most iconic riffs in metal.
Fukpig, featuring the entire Mistress lineup, as well as the Anaal Nathrakh lineup when playing live, call their style, which mixes black metal and grindcore 'necropunk' (indeed, they have a song named after it), but that's yet another pretentious tag I refuse to use.
As you can probably tell by the shape of the artwork, this was originally released on tape, but in my eyes, it deserves a wider, better distribution (although their Communist ideas may conflict with that), as their blend of crust punk and grindcore with a dollop of black metal on the side is some of the best music of this year so far.
