Label: Malignant Records – TumorCD93 Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition Country: US Released: 10 Jun 2016 Style: Power Electronics, Noise
Ships June 6th, 2016. Since 2011, Concrete Mascara have been sharpening their skills across various formats and releases, pushing the envelope of intensity and extremity as they quickly ascended the ranks of American power electronic acts. Perennial Disappointment marks their Malignant debut and their second full length disc following 2014’s Blossoms of Shame on France’s Corrosive Arts Records. The sheer violence of this recording is astounding, and it stands as one of the most unnerving and visceral releases ever under the Malignant banner. From the dystopic atmosphere of opener “Flesh of This World” and post mortem ambience of “Mouth of Flies, Tongue of Maggots”, to the traumatizing and unmitigated physicality of “Utopian Nightmare”, “Defined by Absence” or “Delusion of Sacrifice” Perennial Disappointment is rife with urgency and tension, where caustic, distortion filled frequencies meet slashing, blown out noise, hyper-rhythmic pulsations, and venomous, dueling vocals. Collectively, it’s a perfectly engineered and concise declaration of arrival that should be a revelation for those that consider the genre to be one dimensional and stagnant. In jewel box with 6 panel booklet, designed by Si Clark. Lmtd 500.

Label: Cold Spring Format: CD, Album Country: UK Released: 27 Jun 2011 Style: Black Metal, Noise, Drone
The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics, this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who’ve tainted the air with describing Skullflower as ‘psychedelic’. But that’s not to say this is an all out total assault. There are also moments of tender acoustic balladry, its just that they don’t exist. The remorseless brutal sound is primitive, but as detailed and rich as a blood soaked medieval canvas, somewhere betwixt The Rita and Clandestine Blaze, but more brutal! Long live the New Flesh! Kether is in Malkuth, Malkuth is in Kether, but in a different way…

Coàgul – La Forja Centrípeta Label: Burka For Everybody – 30 Format: Vinyl, LP Country: Spain Released: 31 Aug 2015 Style: Industrial, Drone, Neofolk
“La Forja Centrípeta” is a sonic support by which the listener can “forge” his or her spirit, going from the outside into the inside. It consists of five sonic spells, conceived and composed by Marc O’Callaghan in Easter 2014 between Barcelona and Picanya. The first four ones, which are contained in the fisrt side of the record, equeal to the four ages of mankind. But more than four ages in the historical sense of the development of human kind, in this case they are concieved more like four different states of being. Four possible stadiums in which the listener can enter by meditating on each spell. It begins with the most materialistic age, the iron age (which is the age in which we live today at this moment of history, aswell as the default state of being in which a common human lives these days); and ends ate the very core with the most spiritual age, the golden age. The length of each spell is in proportion with the mathemathics of the traditional division from the Vedic doctrine of the four yugas. The last spell, which occupies the whole second side of the record, is an incarnation of the new city, which is another name for the heavenly city of the New Jerusalem that shall descend unto earth at the end of the Apocalypse. Thus when the four ages are finally consumated, we are ready to enter the holy city, where all things are each one in its very right place and distributed in absolute cosmic harmony. The twelve stanzas of this long spell equal to all that is twelve: the zodiac, the precious stones, the fruits of the tree of life, the angelic typologies, the months of a year, the prophets, et cetera. The first side of this vinyl symbollically equals to the circular shape, and the second one equals to the square shape. So all in all, “La Forja Centrípeta” is a big sonic tool that can be magickally used to achieve what the hermetists rightly called “the squaring of the circle”.
The whole five songs were performed by Marc O’Callaghan and recorded and mastered by Daniel Muerte during May 2014 at La Cova de la Bèstia, Barcelona. All artwork conceived and drawn by Marc O’Callaghan during January 2015. The inlay photo was taken by Adriana Petit in February 2015 at the Bronze Bureau, Barcelona.

El contenido de este doble DVD-Vídeo recoge los resultados del proyecto de investigación “Reconstrucción de obras artístico-sonoras de la Vanguardia Histórica (1909-1945)”, realizado por el grupo de investigación Laboratorio de Creaciones Intermedia (LCI) del Dpto. de Escultura de la Facultad de Bellas Artes San Carlos de Valencia. En el primer DVD se pueden ver y oír las distintas obras de la exposición “Ruidos y Susurros de las Vanguardias (1909-1945)”, con esculturas sonoras, poesía fonética, radio-arte, experimentación con discos de gramófono (que antecede a los actuales Dj’s) y otras manifestaciones pioneras del llamado “Ruidismo” y “Arte Sonoro”. Quedan representados movimientos de vanguardia como el Futurismo italiano (especialmente Fortunato Depero), Constructivismo ruso, Escuela de la Bauhaus y del entorno español como fueron la Orden de Toledo (fundada por Buñuel) y el Altavoz del Frente. Este primer DVD queda completado con entrevistas a los autores de las reconstrucciones y un resumen de los conciertos realizados sobre este tema, donde en uno de ellos se rememora la Bauhauskapelle (o Bauhaus Jazz Band) que era la banda de estudiantes de la Escuela de la Bauhaus que tocaban en sus fiestas creativas pervirtiendo temas de jazz bailable de los años veinte, introduciendo elementos ruidosos como cencerros, pistolas o instrumentos fabricados por ellos, que les servía de catarsis para las diferentes tensiones que se producían entre profesores y alumnos.
Finalmente, el segundo DVD recoge en archivos pdf y mp3, las diferentes publicaciones derivadas de este proyecto y que actualmente están agotadas, como el catálogo y doble-cd “Ruidos y Susurros de las Vanguardias” (Allegro Records, 2004), que ya se distribuyó en su día por Diskpol y que tanto para los que lo tienen, como los que no, es ampliado con nuevos textos y documentos sonoros y visuales, que completan este proyecto caleidoscópico sobre las múltiples aportaciones que plantearon la vanguardia histórica de la primera mitad del siglo XX dentro de la experimentación sonora y musical.
