[TumorCD93] Concrete Mascara – Perennial Disappointment

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.

Les Neiges Noires De Laponie – Devouring The Dark Sun (Live)

Born in 2002, the project “Les Neiges Noires De Laponie” was plunged into stasis in 2006 and recently reactivated, updated with all the advances in pure computer music. Draining crystals “flashcore” (one thinks of label Hangars-liquides) in the heart of the abyss dark ambient, return “Les Neiges Noires De Laponie” exercise their power to fascinate.
Tingling nano-tech, intimate exploration of matter, abstract constructions, labyrinthine tangles … custom sound project invite immersion, the risk of loosing direction. They suggest the singing of the infosphere, that our environment is invisible, alienating, continuous.

This live album is produced, and performed, masterised by Alexandre Casademunt
It will be available the 15th September 2013 (CD-R Release in a DVD book jacket) for free on the web on Chase Records [CHASE – HS 07]
The difference between the web version and the material version of the live, is that the sound is significantly louder!

Pretty much compelled to write about this album….an album which is 59 minutes of pure ambient noise made danceable with all the collective beats of breakcore and deep experimentalism only never seen, the genre, which I believe it pretty new…correct me please?

Flashcore.

Okay, another ‘core’ genre but this one is actually, well, amazing. It is basically layers and layers of ambient glistening sound akin to a lazered harsh noise that you can actually hear every noise being seared, pounding bass that drives the album as if it thinks it is gabba, there is even a trance like breakdown halfway through that strips back the noise…..so it can be mixed with your favourite HNW track? But that soon subsides and what is left is the breakcore IDM Harsh Noise fracture that consumes the rest of the album, it is such an amazing piece of work because it has accomplished what I always strive for, the purists dreaded ‘Cyber Noise’. The albums grants noise music a heart and souls without the need of repetition within a boring HNW track that may or may not be 59 minutes of pure stationary glum, this is 59 minutes of pure aerobic transience. Noteable aspects are the comparisons between this and many dance mix albums, except this has gnawed its teeth into the primal part of the noise scene. Imagine power electronics at a higher BPM, confusing itself in its wholly loathing as it has no other decision but to grooveride. As we traipse through this masterpiece we are only greeted with noise but under layers of distinct clarity.
To conclude the first great crossover between noise and breakcore. Salute.

[sig009] Fractured Transmission – A Willing Suspension Of Disbelief

At long last, Los Angeles based powernoise artist Fractured Transmission proudly unfurls brand new material in collaboration with Signifier. “A Willing Suspension of Disbelief” unforgivingly punctures the long silence between 2008’s “Rise Of The Archetype” (Mechanismz) and now.

Since 2004, American audio and visual designer Nick Viola has composed Fractured Transmission’s signature cocktail of harsh distorted rhythms and darkly textured synth. Quickly establishing the project as one of the most sonically dense artists of the L.A. industrial noise scene, Fractured Transmission gained momentum due to club and radio play, live performances, and an emerging fan base that helped spread the word.

With dozens of remix tracks to his credit, numerous compilation appearances over the last few years, and limited run EP’s including an outstanding collaboration with Embodi, Fractured Transmission is ready to drop its second full length release on unsuspecting listeners.

“A Willing Suspension of Disbelief” is the artist’s attempt to sonically digest, interpret and extrude uncomfortable social situations and the human condition into a crunchy and highly energetic sonic assault that will leave the listener eager for the next round. The record is a statement album intended to be the soundtrack to the cycle of self-destructive behavior and the eventual reformation of the individual.

Well suited for fans of W.A.S.T.E., Organic Cage, and Contaminant.
