Mania / Hal Hutchinson - Selftitled (Cassette C30, Der Bünker Records 2011)



This one is a two track split release from Mania and Hal Hutchinson. I'm not so familar with their works, but there is a first time for everything.

'Collecting Scars' from Mania begins with nasty power electronics, which are pressing heavily against the tympanic membrane. Togheter with crude intermezzo's of low rumbling noises, sharp static, Percussive metal sounds and crunchy noise, this track is switching from restrained to more chaotic sounds, eventually losing itself in (mild) destruction. Its like taking a trip to a factory from hell, manufacturing decay and entropy.

The second track 'Totally Ugly' from Hal Hutchinson kicks off with immediate and agressive chaos. With fast metal scraping and scratching, it shows no mercy for the listener. Less change is applied in this track and it actually could be considered as a harsh wall of junk metal noise.

A great work of industrial terror.
