more good 08 records alert:
moss-sub templum
this is fucking dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom metal. it sounds like the earlier, most lo-fi electric wizard demo tapes, but its waay heavier and darker and more fucked up than electric wizard. one of the raddest looking bands ever, they look like biker straight outa hell!
o, and merzbow's new one-dolphin sonar
lets face it, merzbow's recordings have become less mesmerizing over the years, especially with how much ridiculously heavy and harsh some of the best noise has gotten. bu merzbow has never been about totally pummpeling his audience to death (he does sometimes), but his noise is about atmosphere and dynamics. merz is a hippie. this is hippiearsh noise. its a concept record about a slaughterning of thousands of dolphins in japan a couple years back, and merzbow likes animals. its an inspired album. this is just three inventive noise tracks with electronics and guitars. when merzbow is playing guitars, it can only be good.
