Cornucopia - "disease industry (2001 ataxie disques)

Cornucopia presents somewhat of a dilemma.

in the beginning there was just jorge castro.

he made harsh noise.

and lo, it was good.

then claudio chea joined and cornucopia became more experimental, ambient industrial drone and included found sound. 

here's the problem...

both are wonderful. i know...how terrible.

anyway, here's an early Cornucopia release, a 7" released  in a limited edition of 200 copies in 2001 by ataxie disques.  much love to the C-crew.

enjoy the lovely wash of noise.

tracks:

A1 Disease Industry A (3:01)
A2 El Tercer Cielo (Disease Industry B) (2:12)
B Disease Industry C (5:43)

far different from the early speed/death fear of faith stuff and also the later 'more conventional' industry XI stuff...this shit here is great in its own right.  one of the few cases where we find a strange juxtaposition...making for some great ends.

hard as can be...softly...#1.

here's a very old review from ballistic test zine....

"A year after knocking the socks off the metal and industrial underground crowds with their two extreme industrial-metal demos Dredge and Tension, Fear of Faith released their third demo, Blind, with a surprising change in style. Gone are the blazing guitars and hard-hitting percussion, while the harsh, distorted vocals and liberal use of voice samples remain relatively untouched. In comes mostly melodic acoustic guitars, minimal use of electric guitars, and a deliberate vocal attempt to convey a greater range of emotion, albeit still behind a guise of distortion.There are four songs here: the title track "Blind", "Withdrawn", which was featured on the Electro Shock Therapy compilation, "I and Those Who Were", and "Dying for One". The easy-listening, mellower music and the harsher vocals provide a stark contrast, but the band effectively turns them into complementary elements instead of the expected conflict or mismatch. The four songs sound rather alike with similar guitar progressions and vocals but this is hardly a problem as the melodies the guitars emanate are quite nice. The song I like best off Blind is "Dying for One", with its cool industrial underlayer of mechanical pistons and bass rumblings.

On one hand, FoF may have lost some fans of their early material with this relatively tame, metal-free release. On the other hand, their creativity and ability to progress musically beyond the confines of an industrial-speed-metal approach earn them greater respect. As it is, Blind is the most distinctive and accessible of the band's three demos.

fear of faith - "tension" (1994 running dog)

https://www.discogs.com/Fear-Of-Faith-Tension/release/7896844

one of my favorite bands -----ever..... too bad they never got the production values and studio time they definitely deserved...

*the band DID go on (if only for a little while)... it morphed into Eleven and then Industry XI, producing one demo and one full length pro-cd which i carried in my old distro a.i.musick.... it was all quite good i must admit, but a different animal from fear of faith...*

the last recordings from this band that i'm aware of.  while good in it's own right, it follows the path the band was taking into mellower material since their FoF days, and boom-you see one way in which the title is applicable.  never uploaded before as i was trying to sell these cds (i still have a few-OF COURSE) for a while.

Review from ballistic test zine:

This six-song tape is the fourth album for a trio of guys formely known as Fear of Faith and who now reside under the moniker of Industry Eleven. While I did enjoy the terminal velocity and ferocity of the FoF sound, Frustration finds the band searching for their own identity, whereas the former entity was somewhat of a novelty.
First, the guitars are a notch lower on the speed gauge. The chainsaw-like guitars are now razor sharp instead of just a blur of noise which makes catching the grooves and riffs a lot easier. The monstor rhythm in "Why Should We", for example, is a sound that often plays out in my head at unexpected times of the day and one I immediately associate with this band.
Second, the band attempts to integrate a degree of melody into their sound through the vocals and synths. The heavily distorted vocals seem less harsh but are certainly still quite angry and bitter. The delivery is predominately in the form of yells or screams but there are a few moments of actual singing. I find myself being able to better empathize with the extreme emotional turmoil and strife the band is venting in their lyrics. On the surface, Eleven may appear to be wrought with nothing but gloom and doom. However, the listener can find hope buried in the sand if they are willing to dig for it. The angelic imagery that appears in the insert is one bit of evidence.
Dark ambient synths and pulsating electro percussion also help to distinguish Eleven from other cookie-cutter death/thrash metal bands. For example, the ambient synths accentuate the somberness of "Grieve", while on "Never" synthetic machine-gun fire percussion accelerates the pace. It's all nicely done and makes things more interesting to listen to.
This album has quite a few things going for it. Production is solid. It comes with two interchangable cover inserts that share a common gold, white, silver, and black colour scheme. You can choose to have a stern, intimidating face staring back at you or or an ethereal angel beckoning your spirit. Three of the songs here are not available on the band's 1997 CD release which is another reason why you might want to track down this tape. Frustration is a bitter metal album with a silver electro lining.

in a bit of revisionist history (they're more than entitled to it!) side-band "stone face" has been included under all things "wickeds end" on their bandcamp page, which i can't blame them for.  (i always found stone face to be the stronger of the two acts-then again, they're just different)  stone face material is awesome and it's good that it's out there again, albeit unfortunately censored.  this is a rip from the original tape release of the more straight forward thrash metal original wickeds end.  enjoy and be sure to check out stone face too on bandcamp (now referred to as wickeds end)

reject remixes 2017 [ask]

a handful of years ago i began to ask friends for remixes of "reject #1"
years later...having received a few mixes, i need more for at least 40 min of tracks.  the original was only a 60 min tape so this should be relatively easy.  i did some remixes too.  anyway, i'm saying i'm into this again and i'm asking for more mixes.
thanks in advance...hell, thanks for wasting life on reading this nonsense.
the master was recorded to one tape, so there are no additional source materials.  the original is found here.  have fun! https://lackthrow.bandcamp.com/album/reject-1-1997

saviour machine - "0" (1990 indie)

from wikipedia:

 "Eric Clayton's most ambitious work has been Saviour Machine, which released two studio albums Saviour Machine I (1993) and Saviour Machine II (1994) before starting the Legend trilogy that strictly focuses on the end times, Book of Revelation and prophecies about the biblical apocalypse. The band has also released a compilation album titled Synopsis (2003), the live albums Live in Deutschland 1995 and Live in Deutschland 2002. Both were also filmed and released on VHS and DVD format. The band was originally signed to Christian metal label Frontline Records but gothic metal in all its visual appearance was misunderstood in US Christian scenes, and eventually Saviour Machine began work with MCM Music and Massacre Records, labels based in Germany where the band was more popular than in US. In 1997 Saviour Machine performed at Wacken Open Air, the biggest exclusively metal music festival in the world.

Eric Clayton has on and off been working on the last album in the Legend series, Legend Part III:II, which should have been the last Saviour Machine album. The album was supposed to be released on July 7, 2007, but was postponed due to Clayton's esophageal condition called Barrett's Esophagus which was diagnosed in 2004 but eventually got worse.^[2]

Clayton has compiled The Collective Journals (1997–2009) released in 2010 available at the band website. Soon after performing a handful of unplugged Saviour Machine-shows in The Netherlands and Germany in 2013, Eric Clayton officially broke up the band, abandoned the unfinished Legend-project, and retired from the music business. He is still committed to playing at Ayreon's Theater Equation shows in Holland in September 2015."

the beginning of this cd (the 3rd from f.e.) has amused me ever since it came out. its great to start up loud and freak people out with who happen to be hanging around. Frank's Enemy has always been some sort of weird...funk, grindcore, punk, electronic elements, death metal, growls and gutteral grunts, screams, noise, clean vocals, acoustic, thrash, ska, and a heap of crazy mixing. when its good its really good, when its bad its not that bad, but it always made me wish they had stuck with the elements in their other great songs...

easy enough to call this experimental grindcore i guess.
