Internal Empty - "the daily ritual of distinguishing oneself: reversion" (2003/2009)

this is the updated version of the 2003 cd for 2009 with new artwork and some remixes/alt.versions.

web only, for a variety of reasons, one of which being the length. the overall sounds herein are a mixed bag of minimal, harsh noise, glitch, ambient noise, vocal noise, & industrial noise.

the original cd ~[The daily ritual of distinguishing oneself (cd:*collected missing works, remixes, shelved tracks: 1997-2003*)]~ was presented in the 'dj mixed' format whereby each track bled in and out of each other a bit. though the cd was cut into 15 different pieces for skipping through easier on your cd player, all tracks were mixed so as to play as one.
here we have the original mixes of the source for the 'dj mixed' presentation of the disc, as well as some remixes and alternate versions. i don't know if this is a bummer or a good thing ...in fact i can post both versions. I might just do that...

(warning: tracks created in different years, with different equipment, recording on various media and volume variances are to be expected)

1. burning bridge 2009 (original version also appears on the split with richard ramirez)

2. inhalation (2009 remix )

3. to lose one's teeth

4. a multitude of failure (the winds of sedentary life)

5. ghosts are haunting...

6. mystique

7. choking calmly (2009 remix of choking)

8. the natural order

9. permutation (extreme neglect cass. noise remix)

10. a dream carnivorous

11. twitch-factory #22

12. rabbit

13. error massage 2009

14. running away (runaway 2009 mix)

15. increasing resentment

the Soul Bleeds Black - "alchemie" (world serpent 1999)

from FUNPROX.COM :

Alchemie originally appeared on the now defunct label World Serpent in 1999. It was the fourth album for the American neo-medievalists The Soil Bleeds Black, a project centered around the Riddick brothers. Their label The Fossil Dungeon has now made this album available again, in a joint venture with Argentina’s Twilight Records. The second edition comes in a nice brown/gold digipack and has no less than three bonus tracks.


Most tracks follow a similar pattern: quite heavy repetitive percussion, a clear medieval melody lead by flute or organ, embellishment with bells and samples, alternating male and female vocals with a ritual character. Especially the songs sang by Eugenia Wallace appeal to me, of which ‘Luna Begets Mercury’ is a good example. Another highlight is the bombastic ‘Lapis Philosophorum’, which features the typical musical contribution of Arcana.

All in all Alchemie is quite a good album, which shows a band in progress. The Soil Bleeds Black has clearly progressed from their earlier albums, but have not reached yet the musical skills and richer arrangements of later work as Lead into Gold or Mirror Of The Middle Ages.

1 Magia Naturalis (2:36)
2 Luna Begets Mercury (2:45)
3 Winter Marriage (3:41)
4 Made Not Vain The Cup Thou Drankest (3:38)

Avrigus - "the final wish" (warhead/repulse records 1998)

from inmusicwetrust.com:

By: Jeb Branin

Another moody gothic band whose metal roots are obvious but not much utilized. The tunes on "The Final Wish" are slow and atmospheric. They meander along like a lonely waif wandering aimlessly through life. Longing, misery, desire, anger, regret, and hopelessness are all emotions examined in the lyrics and music. The soft female vocals are disturbing in their surrender of joy and haunting in their delivery. Imagery of feudal history is used to add to the emotional effectiveness of the album. The 'dark ages' are iconically endowed with certain thoughts that make them a seemingly miserable time in human history.

1 The Final Wish (7:01)
2 As Ivy Groweth Green (8:13)
3 Desolate (3:36)

Theo Goodman/Jay T. Yamamoto split (1998 churn tapes)

this is a fun split...its nice that each act sounds different from one another. jay t. yamamoto does some interesting experimental songs. some of it has that 'toy' sound while others are lo-fi, jazzy sounding stuff, ambient, junk, and power electronic flavoured noise. you can definitely hear the asian influence as well. fun listen as there's so much variety here....and that's just side A.

theo goodman does old school analogue harsh noise with breaks and 'pretty' ambient touches in a couple of places.

i should have ripped and cut this long ago. so much easier to listen to...

stimbox/a.u.m./death squad - "enjoy happiness" (1996 hebi-like a snake)

very very sweet harsh noise cd from 1996, limited to 993 copies on cd.
btw. a.u.m. is a collab by the other two artists here.
this is a review from Sinkhole e-zine:
"· don't let the obnoxious artwork and colors lead you astray from this release. stimbox, death squad and a.u.m. (a collaboration between stimbox and death squad) have created some of the best harsh noise around. according to the h.l.a.s. website, the music on this cd was inspired by the tokyo subway gassings, although that isn't apparent in the music itself.

·stimbox offers up two high-intensity tracks that'll leave you begging for more. dynamic walls of noise are created and built upon, bringing forth a wide range of sounds that won't cease to amaze you. the a.u.m. track, am 1476 khz starts off sounding like a mixture of radio broadcasts, but after a minute various tones start in and degenerate into violently focused noise. with communique shoko, death squad take aim on feedback and pull the trigger. it's a blaringly simple piece revolving around feedback with a few slightly-altering effects occasionally abused. theological genocide starts off with eerie ambience and some played-out terminator samples. it quickly turns into a jumbled blast of furious static and high-end wailing. at almost four minutes, it's long enough to enjoy but short enough to leave you wanting more. electro-staticsphere is composed of piercing high-end whining and low-end static rumbling, making for a diverse and constantly changing piece with loops and builds upon itself

· this release has been placed on the essential list, if not only for the a.u.m. track and death squad's electro-staticsphere. the other tracks are excellent as well, but those two stand out above the others for both their diversity and intensity. go get a copy of this while you still can."

1 Stimbox-Love And Truth (15:26)
2 Stimbox-Electronic Chattering (7:29)
3 A.U.M.-AM 1476 kHz (21:58)
4 Death Squad-Communique Shoko (8:18)
5 Death Squad-Theological Genocide (3:51)
6 Death Squad-Electro-Staticsphere (11:11)

Aluminum Noise - "uninhabitable landscapes" (2000 renaissance recordings) + "sweet Leaf" (2003 PACrec)

the artwork and layout is actually pretty cool so, once again, forgive my crappy photo. better than nothing though right?

pretty spiffy tape too, but the artwork is worth mentioning.  seems

to be a very structured noise release...samples, instruments, ambience & noise of various flavours all working together quite well to make for an impressive whole.  This will come as no surprise perhaps, considering other works you might be familiar with by jason crumer and  nathan hobbs, respectively.  also included here is Aluminum Noise's cover of Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf". Limited to 42 copies as a business card cdr from PACrec. this sucker was hard to buy even a couple of months after its release (like most PACrec releases). it is easily much more of a harsh noise piece than 'u.l.' really great shredder of a little track. please do enjoy.


 

side aluminum:

1. servitude or starvation

2. futureless dreams of our sterile lords

3. transmission of hatred veiled as love

4. counting lessons in purgatory

eightball cholos - "satan's whore" (1996 morphine records)

from the ashes of 80's thrash metal band The Warning, came the seemingly short-lived Eightball Cholos. (apparently they also had an album late in the first decade of the 2000's)
this sample heavy cd always struck me as strange. i guess that shouldn't be that unexpected from a band fronted by a cat named 'Burrito".
two man thrash band with an odd sound and a definite experimental punk edge, the militant outsider christian agenda,some 90's industrial metal touches, the imagery and good but 'out of no where' guitar solos...
the construction of this thing still seems odd now as i listen to it over a decade later.  came with some stickers, which are great if your car seems too bare, of course they're also a great thing when propaganda is the name of the game.   anyway, here you go folks ...have a weird 70 minutes.

1. In My Blackest Hour
2. Exorcise My Soul

Murderous Vision - "...loathe" (1997 live bait recording foundation)

one of the earliest Murderous Vision releases, "...loathe" sounds quite different from what has come since. good stuff and an interesting listen.   since this cd has been deleted from the official catalogue, this might be a good chance to get a listen to it if you didn't the first time around some 11 years ago. luckily this was a cd and not one of those old cd-rs with sticker labels, but rather a pro job. there have been other things recently i've wanted to post but couldn't rip because of the damage caused by the media and labels, which is a really bitter pill when the stuff is more rare than one can imagine. boo hooey....  but that has nothing to do with this release so..... enjoy.

AUBE - "parametalizest" (1998 clate records)

beautifully rendered artwork by the man himself, Limited edition of 300 copies pressed on black vinyl.
All tracks composed using only the sound of metal as source material.
for those of you who have the magnificent 'metal de metal' cd...this stuff is VERY different, though the sound sources are the same.

this is grimy, almost the opposite of metal de metal.  there is still a distinct structure to it , but it differs from the predictable 'ambient aube structure' quite a bit . fantastic stuff if you're willing to give yourself over to it for 13 minutes...there's no doubt you'll get more out of it than you bargained for. AUBE is an artist worth delving into....IF you can manage to step up above what's catchy and take a dip into concept. good stuff here, once again.  my apologies for describing poorly...just take a listen for yourself.
