Genre/Influences: Noise, industrial.
Background/Info:
This
work is a split album between long-time active noise-maker Bastard Noise and
Xiphoid Dementia. The album has been released as a collaboration between
different labels.
Content:
Xiphoid
Dementia takes off with 3 harsh industrial-noise pieces. The tracks have been
achieved with a few spoken samplings and bombastic/epic arrangements. Bastard
Noise takes the B-side delivering 4 harsh pieces mixing industrial, noise and
pure improvisation. Both last cuts are supported with a dark, tormented sphere.
+
+ + : You’ve to be into ‘noise’ to enjoy this split album, but it’s a rather
accessible format because of the diversified influences that have been mixed
together. I especially like Xiphoid Dementia’s “Spirals”, which has something
more ambient-driven. My favorite Bastard Noise cut is “Cries From Pterosaur
Graveyard, which appears to be a great and somewhat improvised-like track. I
also have to say a word about the great artwork of this vinyl; a picture disc
says that much more than digital releases!
–
– – : It remains an album for a very specific and experienced audience!
Conclusion:
Dark
and tormented, harsh and noise-like! This album is the meeting between inspired
noise-makers.
Best
songs: “Spirals”, “Malevolence” (Xiphoid Dementia), Cries From The Pterosaur”
(Bastard Noise).
