Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck / Cock E.S.P. Split C-4 (Lascivious Aesthetics)
Two brutal noise blasts on a super short (four minute long) but utterly scorching tape from Lascivious Aesthetics! Notoriously provocative Boston power electronics maniacs Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck are first with "Red And Brown", opening with a sample of schmaltzy romantic piano music that is strafed by some grating metallic ringing; then it explodes like a nuclear blast into horrific blackened grindnoise, impossibly fast drum machine blastbeats that border on full on splittercore, and looped choral voices rising in a horrific melody, split with screaming blackened vokills. Man, this is AWESOME, a machinegun-blast of blackened industrial noisecore. It's way too short, we're dying to hear Twodeadsluts do more of this stuff... On the other side, the legendary Cock E.S.P. bring us an orgy of destruction with "Gaping Massholes" (which we presume is a tribute to the folks in Twodeadsluts), the band starting off with screaming and yelling as the band breaks a roomful of shit, then launches head-on into a punishing maelstrom of high end feedback, random metal abuse, roiling low-end noise and thunderous sheet metal reverberations, a squealing, screaming high-energy blast of psychedelic junk noise destruction. Killer! Comes with a full color cover, released in an edition of one hundred copies.

Corephallism- Self Titled - 3" CD (Lascivious Aesthetics)
Another vital dose of electronic horror from the new Lascivious Aesthetics imprint run by one of the cats from Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck. In fact, Corephallism itself is a side project from TDSOGF's Shane Broderick, here taking a break from the rampant nudity and grind/power electronics that his main gig is so renowned for; with Corephallism, Broderick plies a heavier, more monstrous form of death industrial. Just dig that spikey black metal style logo that this disc sports on the cover, superimposed over a photo of some lass's fine gams. Definitely suggestive of some seriously bad thoughts going on here. What we get on this two track Ep is a punishing opener in the form of "Speaking In Tongues", a grinding slab of pitch-black terror that blasts beams of pure negative energy through fields of black hole ambience and symphonic strings drifting out of the abyss. It reminds us of Theologian a lot, as a matter of fact; anyone into Leech's signature black industrial (and the classic death-tronics of Atrax Morgue and Brighter Death Now) really should look into this. We might also be detecting some Gnaw Their Tongues influence in here as well, as this track blends together a similar evil orchestral majesty with massive levels of analogue synth-death. The other track, "These Scars Will Last a Lifetime", is more subdued and focuses on digital black ambience that becomes shattered by violent electrical hum, like the sound of a power generator blasting into the red while a pulsating drone seethes underneath the rumble, while way off in the background, weeping and howls of agony and terror can be heard. Man, this is seriously intense, and too damn short...we can't wait to hear more from this most promising new project. Comes in a miniature jewel case with full color artwork. Limited to three hundred copies.

Suffering Bastard - s/t - Cassette (Lascivious Aesthetics)
This super short Ep of new Suffering Bastard jams only clocks in at some six-odd minutes, but man, does this batch of new "songs" destroy! Not all that well known to folks outside of New England save for hardcore grindnoise fanatics, Suffering Bastard are nevertheless one of our favorite blast squads, and have been kicking around for around a decade now, dropping sledgehammer blasts of their dual-bass grindsludge and screaming harsh noise. For anyone into the most barbaric levels of skullcrush, this is immensely recommended. This tape on Lascivious Aesthetics (the label run by one of the guys from PE/grind provocateurs Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck) delivers eight new tracks of their severely bestial and low-fi grind / sludge / harsh noise, a chaotic mess of primitive grindcore, sloppy supersonic blastbeats that sound like they are being played on garbage-filled trashcans, pulverizing bass riffs, and augmented with skin-crawling feedback drone. Most of this is mach-ten blast violence that borders on total noisecore, but the band throws in some punishing harsh noise/power electronics moves into the mix as well. The grind parts are chaotic blasting locomotive crush that becomes a shrieking mass of mechanical violence equal parts Sore Throat, harsh noise and (for a brief moment) NY deathdoom mutants Winter; in other words, this stuff is nasty, vicious enough to strip the paint right off your walls of your skull. Awesome. Limited to one hundred copies.

Reviews From One True Dead Angel

2010-10-23T11:24:00.000-07:00

Suffering Bastard -- S/T cs [Lascivious Aesthetics]
O mas oui, I approve of this. This apocalyptic grindcore outfit from Rhode Island deliver eight blasts of grossed-out sonic ultraviolence in exquisitely lo-fi fashion. Titles like "Reeker," "Bullshit Train," "Spit in His Face," and "Gas, Grass or Ass" make it crystal clear where they're coming from, and the sound on the cassette is classic grind -- lots of thrashing drums, churning bass hell, splatterpunk guitar, and vocals so guttural that the "singer" might as well have been rolling around the gutter when he recorded them. True, the tracks sound like they were recorded on a ghetto blaster in someone's basement (which might even be true), but you don't really want to hear clean-sounding grind, do you? DO YOU? (If you do, you're wrong.) As with a lot of grindcore, the songs are so short it's easy to lose track of which one is playing, but I think "Exit 24" is the one that starts out in the slow wasting doom style of Corrupted before blasting off into the hypersonic stratosphere. One of the tracks toward the end -- "Untitled," perhaps? -- is filled with an avalanche of noise like buildings under demolition, always a nice touch. Not surprisingly for such frenzied anti-music, the total running time for all eight songs is approximately six minutes. Blastoff time commences... NOW! Limited to 100 copies.

Cock E.S.P. / Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck -- split c/s [Lascivious Aesthetics]
Talk about brevity, these bands own it: this cassette clocks in at four minutes. Four. Minutes. It takes more time than that to smoke a cigarette, dude. And then the decision to release it on cassette, of all formats, rather than, say, a 3-inch cd? Madness, I say, MADNESS! But that's what is so great about both of these bands -- their appreciation of the most ridiculous notions of extremity. Besides, somebody has to keep the cassette culture alive, right?So. The songs. The really, really short songs. First up is TO with "Red and Brown," opening with a tinkling piano melody straight out of the Liberace songbook that is quickly swallowed by feedback, followed by a full-out assault on the senses involving severe power electronics combined with a lot of hysterical screaming. There's no way to tell what he's saying, but he sure sounds upset. Perhaps he's being tasered in the balls; maybe someone is pouring hot lead up his ass. Either way, he sounds like he'd enjoy leaping from the speakers to bite off your ear, and it's amazing he can be heard over the orgy of sonic ultraviolence in which he's enveloped. Then the song ends abruptly. Very abruptly. It's the sonic equivalent of strolling through the park, watching the birdies, and being mugged without warning -- by the time you realize steel-booted thugs are kicking the shit out of you, they've already escaped with your wallet and your watch. Flip the cassette over and Cock E.S.P. somehow manage to be even more obnoxious on "Masshole" -- swirling sheets of atomized noise like flying monkeys flinging ninja stars at your head, accompanied by bursts of pained howling and noise harsh enough to strip paint from your walls. Like the other track, it's over just when things are starting to heat up. I guess they figured you aren't man (or woman) enough to endure the torment for much longer. As noise strategies go, getting your hate on in a hurry and exiting stage left early is a pretty good plan -- it's better to leave everyone wanting more than to wear out your welcome, right? Like most LA releases, this one is limited to 100 copies.

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - Champagne & Biological Women
Bloodlust! 7-Inch Single
Here is an absolutely depraved record from the annals of the Bloodlust! catalog. The artwork and titles really put things in the right mood for the sounds so upon spinning this little gem I’m all revved up for some totally sickened noise. As with my classic complaint about TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck, it’s too short! I just want more more more.

Side A builds slowly with “Covered in Shit” and works into a heavy rhythmic power electronics frenzy. All lasting probably 2 minutes in total. Immediately noticeable is the HUGE production here. All the details of this filth can be heard, all the way down to the most miniscule grains of grit. “Down in the Dirt” fades in with a low-end pulse that breaks into a metallic texture of alternating machinery. Once again, barely hitting the two minute mark but hitting hard enough that it won’t soon be forgotten.

Perhaps the most crunchtastic track here is the opener on side B “Still Erect (…and definitely not leaving)” that features a core of blown-out distortion as the main layer here with blasts of the slut’s token feedback layers on top. “Mark Solotroff Built My Hotrod” being an obvious reference to Bloodlust!’s label exec features a heavy glassy drone, and tons of feedback layers.

Of course these tracks can only be complete with the most sickened, over the top vocals to appear in power electronics. Pitched down, pitched up, distorted, and generally mangled to all hell it’s obvious that TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck has one goal: to create the most insanely noisy heavy blast of noise that is possible. My analysis: that they’ve come damn near close.

Cock E.S.P. / Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck
Lascivious Aesthetics - Split Cassette
The world is moving fast. Faster and faster every day. Each friend added to my stupid Facebook page just makes the endless spewing of information wash by like water flowing through a breaking levee, flooding more and more with with each opening fissure. Is information cheaper today then it ever has been? Or are we actually valuing it more by spending more time mulling over it, archiving it, and finding new ways to present the same old shit.

These questions are heightened by this fantastic little 4 minute cassette I have here. Yes, 4 MINUTES. Four minutes of pure depravity of course. So, does this mean that these sounds are just so fucking worthless that the artists only needed to record 2 minutes each to get their point across? Or should this diamond in the rough be treasured for every second because of its intensity and value? Is this a case of information overload or information to be valued?

The infamous TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck kicks off their track “Red and Brown” with a heartfelt piano melody then shoves the keys in your ass with no transition to a raw power electronics assualt. The track is very well layered with never ending screaming and a weird choir melody that is somehow also harsh as hell in the background. I’m really digging how just totally insane this is and think that it does well to portray the total chaos that is their live set.

Cock E.S.P. is an act whose performances rival that of the sluts. Fortunately their track “Masshole” does as well, and it is of course exactly what I was expecting. Harsh noise of the purest form. There is no musical elements to this whatsoever, it’s just a strait-up noise blast with various horribly harsh sounds, metallic shuffling, things rubbing together, screaming, and feedback.

So in the end my questions still remain unanswered. In two minutes it feels like this tape is more of an epilectic seizure than an actual release made to listen to on a stereo. It’s a fucking heart attack wrapped in plastic. If information could kill, this will be your demise.

Terror Webzine Review:
Corephallism - s/t 3" CD (Lascivious Aesthetics / Apop Records)
This miniCD is the debut release of project from Shane Broderick. He is one of the members of controversive power electronics unit Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck. There is a little piece of sonic information in this professionally duplicated disc. Just a couple of tracks that plays more than 7 minutes. I don't know if that should be enough to form the opinion about the project or not, but it gives landmarks and I do like what I hear. The first track begins with a melody of organs which sounds like taken from some trashy horror movie from seventies or eighties. Nightmarish night is over, day is breaking and everyone of us stays in this brightness with our clearly lighted loneliness and personal ghosts. They immediately come to surface and slowly press you to the corner with pulsating, massive waves of analogue. The sound in both tracks is very deep and dense, almost up to the state when you literally feel lack of oxygen. A sample interferes from beyond pulsations which sounds like chanting of sirens while disguised military submarine sails by. Though it is hard to tell what is real and what is not because of denseness of sound. At last the sound of the first track becomes calmer. "These scars will last a lifetime" begins with distant radio noise. You can hear a pulse of a single note through it while the piece, after somewhere about a half minute, explodes. Despite the fact that I'm listening to this record for N-th time alredy and I know what will happen and what to expect, everytime this sudden jump of volume somehow frightens me. Somewhere deep behind the static and condensed wall of sound, the cry of a woman is heard, squeaks of doors, talks... or maybe it was just an illusion? Because hardly anything gets through minimally changing avalanche of sound. But no, there is no need to think that it was harsh noise wall or so. It is a strange mixture of ambient and noise. Sharp, strong, very dense and dark. Finally the stream of sound ends and we are faced with a couple of seconds of pure weeping. Record ends and, surely, leaves you wanting for more. Solid debut work. If I understood correctly, the perch was raised even more during live performance of Corephallism. That's good. Let's wait for other releases of Shane.

Zero Tolerance Magazine Review:
Corephallism - s/t 3" CD (Lascivious Aesthetics / Apop Records)
A short, sharp shock from Shane Broderick of Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck fame in the form of two tracks of analogue synth abuse and general tape-fuckery. This venture into death industrial territory starts with a warm, glowing organ on "Speaking In Tongues" which is quickly joined by an expansive grinding-steel squall. "These Scars Will last A Lifetime" is a chunkier affair, a steady pulse overlaid by a relentless buzzing headfuck. Vocals are there although surpressed in the mix, nicely accentuating the tracks' themes of various hereditary mental demons. (4/5)

Also in that issue of Zero Tolerance there is a small write up on Corephallism. They end the feature with a quote from me... "I am trying to provoke the most upsetting and negative emotions imaginable through this music. This is pure synth worship. With a background in production and sound design… I have strived to create suffocating death ambient that is delivered with an abusive power electronics approach. Absolute control, insatiable discipline and relentless punishment waits around every corner. There is no escape. This is my therapy."

AIM LOW - "Our mantra throughout booking this was to make it the most negative show ever," says fest organizer Shane Broderick, arms raised at right, with Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck

The return of the Northeast Noise and Power Electronics Festival

ByMatt Parish - November 5, 2009

Inside the dusty corner room of a dungeon-like warehouse basement, Karl Giesing dumps out a bag full of pedals, samplers, grimy cables, and homemade synth boxes. Their functionality seems questionable. Giesing, clad in black leather jacket, scratches his goatee, and it starts to come back to him.

“Shane Broderick did a backflip into my gear at the end of my last set. I’m not sure if any of it’s going to work.” Turns out everything’s fine when he plugs in — you can tell from the awful, tortured-livestock sounds suddenly bleating from his speakers. Crisis averted!

Performing as Karlheinz, Giesing plays a kind of music called power electronics, a well-worn format in experimental circles hated by plenty for its vicious noise, violent shows, and creepy lyrical content obsessed with murder, fascism, rape, and worse. There are no beats, no melodies; there’s nothing resembling a sing-along chorus. It’s Hell’s Angels without the bikes, horrorcore without the fans. “This is a very anti-social type of music.”

This weekend, the second annual Northeast Noise and Power Electronics Festival promises to cram into O’Brien’s and Jacque’s Cabaret the nastiest line-up of diseased audio spew imaginable. Locals like Karlheinz will bash heads with relatively world-famous pioneers like Consumer Electronics, Bloodyminded, and Strom.ec (from Finland), with bits of grindcore thrown in for good measure.

I meet with Broderick — who organized this edition along with Egan Budd’s Existence Establishment, and who’s headed the vile trio Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck for almost 10 years — at his apartment on a quiet street in Medford. “Our mantra throughout booking this was to make it the most negative show ever,” he explains.

They’re off to a good start. The bill includes names like Anal Hearse and Vomit Arsonist. Broderick’s outfit is known (but not guaranteed) to strip naked, tackle audience members, and throw chairs. Others are reported to have used arc welders and tear gas on stage. Peter Sotos, a member of the British group Whitehouse, was once arrested on child-pornography charges (which were dropped), and he’s been known for decorating ’zines with swastikas. On top of all that, local anarchists Anal Cunt are playing. Seems like a miserable time all around.

Power electronics as a genre began when Whitehouse broke out in 1980, and it’s gone through remarkably little change since. It was brutal electronic noise on the heels of the industrial howl of bands like Throbbing Gristle and Einstürzende Neubauten, the last frontier of shock terror music. Scads of US and European bands followed suit, never breaking big but building tiny, fetishistic fan bases around the world. Power electronics is the end of the line, way out past the last vestiges of taste and sensibility. And it’s lonely out there.

I ask Giesing whether he or others in the Boston PE crew have been banned from anywhere. “In a sense, we’re banned from everywhere, because the club owners all think no one will come to see us.” This stuff was not designed to get fans — pulsing, churning growls forced from racks of electronics, mic feedback, vocalists barking and screaming. Over the phone from Chicago, Mark Solotroff, founder of Bloodyminded and the influential Intrinsic Action, puts the appeal bluntly. “I just want to see a good show. I want to be entertained, and I want to see something I can’t see at every show.”

Solotroff, who runs the label BloodLust and dabbles in freelance trend research for advertising agencies, has eased up on stage lately. “I don’t go out of my way to be mean anymore.” I ask whether it’s gotten any easier to reconcile a normal day-to-day life with one that involves walls of feedback, puking noise loops, and screaming songs like “Shotgun Held to Face by Severely Cross-Eyed Addict While Attempting To Remove Girlfriend from Known Drug House.” “When you’re at dinner with your parents and they want to know what you’re working on, you just kind of slump down in your chair, because those conversations never go well. There’s never been a point where this stuff has been socially acceptable.”I wonder whether that will ever change. “No,” Solotroff says. “And probably for good reason.”

HEATHEN HARVEST REVIEW:
Corephallism S/T 3"CD (Apop Records / Lascivious Aesthetics)
Corephallism is a solo project released by a member of the power electronics duo Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck. This is a very short release (on a 3", professionally-created CD) with minimal artwork depicting a nude human body behind a veil. Over this is a well drawn black metal-style logo for Corephallism. The artist has a very particular control over sound that gives an impression upon the listener that this release has an intensely fetishistic importance to the creator of the sounds. Track one, "Speaking in Tongues," opens with a very eerie, Dr. Phibes-like and ominous keyboard/organ tone that reminds me of a visit that I once made to the Southern Jurisdiction Scottish Rite Masonic Temple in Washington DC. In the main temple chamber, where ominous stained glass windows get progressively clearer as they rise toward the peaked ceiling (culminating in a tiny ceiling window for the sun or moon to shine onto the altar during particular hours), there is a large organ that stands before the altar on a raised platform. As I passed by the platform, I was astounded to see that the musical book that lay open on the organ was titled "Famous Movie Music," as opposed to some sort of book of arcane ritual music. No greater an authority on the subject than Anton Szandsor Lavey himself once stated that he appreciates the sinister aesthetics of heavy metal and gothic styles in music, but that the truly Satanic music in the world would have easily repeatable melodies that readily embedded themselves into the listeners mind. Ironically, this automatically disqualifies the majority of music that readily identifies itself with the horned one and his dark minions. The music on this release is in its own realm, and a very personal one at that. I suppose what Lavey was getting at directly was that the Satanic intention within music would be best served by spreading the message of the creator to the widest audience possible. Also he was a man from a really different time period, and the idea of atonal or non-melodic music was something that he frowned upon and did not understand the appeal of. However, life goes on, and in the year 2009 people are putting out 3" digital compact discs with no catchy melodies, instead containing harsh and abrasive noise. And that brings us back to this release at hand from Corephallism. The lush and opaque mastering by Namanax's James Plotkin gives this disc an "oomph" straight out of the gate that sets it apart from many others within this genre. Overall, the music itself certainly can stand on its own in relation to that of its harsh noise peers, but with a strong melodic subtext that is easy to overlook on the first listen. This is definitely a release to hang on to and enjoy for some time to come, despite its brevity. Overall, the sound of Corephallism is that of the overwhelming uncertainty and dread of the universe and the powers around us that conspire to crush our very souls. This is a project to watch out for, and hopefully this guy is planning a full-length release of this stuff in the future because these are some fantastic sounds on here. In many ways, the exorcism/invocation of emotion that is common with noise and black metal-influenced artists is a form of modern tribal shamanism, and this release has a very serious and introspective feel that is quite effective. The vibe here is complete doom with no hope of redemption, thick and pulsating walls. Highly recommended.

THE NOISE BOSTON REVIEW:
COREPHALLISM - S/T 3” CD single (Apop Records/Lascivious Aesthetics)
This is someone’s soundtrack to a really, really bad day. The work of Shane Broderick, best known for his work in the noise project Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, Corephallism channels the inner demons and twisted conflict of both soul and psyche. These two brief snippets of electronics and noise evoke moods and conjure thoughts of someone about to commit a vile and violent act with no explanation or apology. A piece of music that can evoke such strong and dark imagery is either the work of a genius of no commercial potential, or someone who needs to be locked away before he disembowels your children with a salad fork. Either way, this CD is as compelling as it is repulsive, like a late night violent car crash on a dark highway.

FOXY DIGITALIS REVIEW:

Ah, tablecore. We’ve come accustomed to it by now, haven’t we? Still, I like this release. Corephallism is the project of Shane Broderick (mastered by none other than James Plotkin) and it delivers what it promises: ye olde death industrial[ism] and power electronics—and he does it well. I appreciate the brevity of this 3” CD, for brevity is the soullessness of wit. Borne from the “precise” use of analog synths and tape manipulations, Broderick ostensibly grapples with mental illness. Well, don’t we all. I like to call it the context of Amercan life, while others call it abnormality. Meh…fuck them. The strengths of this brief recording are in its subtle phasing and tonal sweeps juxtaposed with abrupt changes, and while there’s nothing particularly new here it’s hard to deny that, if you’re into the necropsy of audio, you’ll probably love this. The first track is intriguing, combining sacred allusions and tossing them around with some flagrant psychodrama, while the second and final journey dramatizing drowning along with a great display of phrasing. Then, the female vocals emerge, crying, out of either despair or pain or god-knows-what. That’s up to you. 7/10

"Child abuse is a sublime pleasure. All the great exremes, genital torture, forced unlubricated rape, butchering; all these pleasures and more reach their pinnacle when the victim is a small child. The orifices are extremely tight and usually virgin, an absolute joy to mangle, rip and violate. The pained screams ring more shrill, more impassioned, unhampered from years of growing up fat and jaded. Virgin territory brings the fresh cries and intense reactions of crushed and forever retarded innocence. There is an added pleasure in child torture, a pleasure that lives on even after the child lay dead and rotting. Parents. The pain of the parents allows the libertine to forever enjoy his crimes. Little kidlings are precious to parents, their lives become meaningful and important because of the little bundle of love that bounces on their knees. Their grief and sense of loss is immense when their tiny gifts from god are destroyed, Their entire lives crumble and break. An excruciating pain that becomes omnipotent as the child's memory is rendered burdensome due to the brutality and masterful eloquence of the dominant. "

PLAGUE HAUS REVIEW:
Corephallism : s/t 3" CD (Apop Records / Lascivious Aesthetics)
Corephallism is the side project of Shane Broderick. Some of you may recognize the name from Boston naughty boys Noise outfit Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, but don’t expect another name for the same shit as so many ‘my other project’ tend to do. This is completely different from any of the output I’ve heard from TDS/OGF and I dare say I actually prefer this. This is pure synth worship, tape manipulating damaged Death Industrial. Shane has obviously been worshipping at the Atrax Morgue Orthodox Church with some heavy tithes paid to Brighter Death Now and NTT with some Old Testament Broken Flag thrown in as well. The disc begins with the creepy church organ intro of “Speaking In Tongues”. Waves of metallic hiss roll in and out over dense rumbling synth hum. The organ lilts and writhes just below the surface. Equal parts dark ambience and death.The second and final track “These Scars Will Last a Lifetime” would have been at home on any Atrax release and is the more aggressive of the two. A steady sinewave reverberates up and down in pitch over a mechanized hum. There seems to be a hint of vocals buried deep, deep down in the mix. The track doesn’t vary much and ends with the distant shedding of female tears.Overall this is a solid first effort. It will be interesting to see how this one progresses. The disc is housed in a mini jewel case with an insert and limited to 300 copies. I like the Black Metal style logo he’s chosen. Ordering info is available on the Lascivious Aesthetics blog.

ROCK-A-ROLLA MAGAZINE REVIEW:
Corephallism – s/t 3” CD (Apop Records / Lascivious Aesthetics)
The best purposely unpleasant debut release this year so far… two bloody scabs of atmospherics and deliriously sick waves of illness. Corephallism is the product of an unclean thing. The second cut “These Scars Will Last A Lifetime” has a bigger power electronics kick, ending on a very disturbing note. This whole thing is just on the wrong side of acceptable. Whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on the listener.

ONE TRUE DEAD ANGEL REVIEW:
Corephallism -- s/t 3-inch cd [Apop Records / Lascivious Aesthetics]
This is what Shane Broderick does when he's not brutalizing the ears of audiences in his main vehicle for sonic terrorism, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck. The sound is a mix of industrial, death metal, and power electronics, and it's every bit as rude as the band's name (if you don't know what it means, look it up and you'll see). The idea here is to generate metallic white noise through the use of analog synths and tape / record player abuse; the subject matter is the usual catalog of unhealthy neuroses (mental illness, sex addiction, depression, and other bleak areas of failed human existence). The title track opens with dreamy, creamy synths that are soon overriden by roaring waves of heavily-reverbed power electronics, and the sound that results -- boasting far more thickness and midrange than the usual power-violence offering -- is an interesting take on the genre's usual rules of sonic intimidation. "These Scars Will Last A Lifetime," the other track, opens with brooding, doodling synth and rhythmic noise in the background, then abruptly shifts into incredibly LOUD synth noise and buzzing electronics. Neither track is terribly long -- the entire disc lasts seven and a half minutes -- but both tracks are exceptionally intense, with a baritone sound that's unusual for the genre. Excellent, punishing stuff. Mastered by James Plotkin and limited to 300 copies.
