Only one release counting from this project, released on the HNW label Coffin Birth, although I wouldn't describe most tracks of this album as HNW. They all are monotonous and unchanging of nature, but they are not all harsh noise.The first two tracks for example, are long meditative lines of static, transceiver noise and hiss. Like “Net Gains [Suicide Solution]”, which has a smooth, yet sharp and aggressive hissing sound. The third track, “Square Pegs, Square Holes”, comes close to HNW, but still has not that rumbling and merciless attacking of low, thundering, solid noise that defines the genre. That doesn’t mean I don’t like this release, offcourse. Otherwise I wouldn’t be reviewing it. But maybe their should be another classification for it (perhaps there already is, that I don’t know of). Anyway, back to this release. The fourth track, “Neoindustrial Dehumanizer”, is more aggressive than the previous one. And till now it looks like the album is building up in intensity throughout the order of the tracks. The fifth track (which has a long digit code as title) is a combination of sharp hissing and mid ranged noise. It has the same intensity as the fourth track but differs much in sound. The sixth track, “The Finger Farm Is Humming”, returns to the sound of the beginning, with a calm and soothing hiss. The last track, “Wyrm”, sounds more organic than all other tracks on this album. It sounds a bit like rain, that is heard from the inside of a building.
This is a nice release, but don’t expect harsh noise with ravishing intensity. With it’s unchanging sound we could call it ‘wall’ though. It lies somewhere inbetween, I guess. But it’s best to find out yourself, since all things all relative and subjective.
