One can possibly rebuild its influences from 79 to 90: the most haunting of early <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Throbbing Gristle</span>, <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Whitehouse</span>, early <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Merzbow </span>and <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Lustmord</span>.

Decrepit white noise signals turned into timid beats, sound processing of mechanical tools and field recordings, Boyd Rice like organ / synthetizer mantras, channelled into the perfect suiting range of frequencies of the cassette tape.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zf4gYJI/AAAAAAAABHM/bp_3pG6nzS4/s1600-h/atrax-death.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319231431726096530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 336px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zf4gYJI/AAAAAAAABHM/bp_3pG6nzS4/s400/atrax-death.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />(1993) <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">In Search of Death</span> / V0<br /><a href="http://anonym.to/?http://lix.in/-4609a1"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">download</span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zNhMuzI/AAAAAAAABHE/SgqUbL9-Kww/s1600-h/atrax1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319231426796501810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 336px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zNhMuzI/AAAAAAAABHE/SgqUbL9-Kww/s400/atrax1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />(1993) <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Black Slaughter</span> / V1<br /><a href="http://anonym.to/?http://lix.in/-479042"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">download</span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zdhAJRI/AAAAAAAABHU/xRyACQVgecM/s1600-h/atrax-mal.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319231431090644242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SdG0zdhAJRI/AAAAAAAABHU/xRyACQVgecM/s400/atrax-mal.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />(1994) <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Collection in Formaldeide</span> / V1<br /><a href="http://anonym.to/?http://lix.in/-460a37"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">download</span></a>Soidemersolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935768171234574735noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031047.post-87812121030264589302009-03-23T23:48:00.008-03:002009-03-26T15:36:35.064-03:00Mayhem<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SciBdRzlFWI/AAAAAAAABG4/8-HWyyq1Sn4/s1600-h/mayhem.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 452px; height: 350px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SciBdRzlFWI/AAAAAAAABG4/8-HWyyq1Sn4/s400/mayhem.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316641700106802530" border="0" /></a><br />During the course of more than two decades, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mayhem </span>has built the reputation of one of the most notorious and influencial <span style="font-weight: bold;">black metal</span> bands of all time. Albeit a pillar of the so called second wave black metal - term referring to bands from the early nineties and forth - this demos record is an isolated masterpiece itself.<br />The paradoxal beauty of this record is that this teenage norwegian trio, while still adhering to satanic aesthetics, has its apparent radical standpoints neutralized by the unpretentiousness of a barely garage-band <span style="font-weight: bold;">Venon </span>tribute. This becomes evident in the second part of the album, a totally unmixed recorded studio rehearsal, showing the lads simply trying to acheive an unexampled level of heaviness much beyond the point their idols stopped, evidently having fun.<br />The first part of the album is especially delightful to <span style="font-weight: bold;">lo-fi </span>appreciators. Low-fidelity black metal production has seen its first steps on projects such as Bathory, debuting two years before Mayhem's demo. The latter, however, has taken the limits of lo-fi to another level: "Ghoul" and the title track make it virtually impossible to distinguish anything but a wave of reverberating fuzz and toy-like drums; Venon's "Black Metal"cover (coherently labeled as "total death version") is one of the rawest and heaviest recordings ever made. Here, and in recordings until the early nineties (specially in their Deathcrush EP), show much more of a punk attitude than anything.<br />Preceding all the controversy the band attracted during its twenty year plus carreer, this album, released before the second wave of black metal bands was consolidated as a specific style in the nineties, remains as a cult statement of unprecedented characteristics.<br /><br />(1986) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pure Fucking Armageddon</span> / V0<br /><a href="http://anonym.to/?http://lix.in/-46a056"><span style="font-weight: bold;">download</span></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2527/coverrtg.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2527/coverrtg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Their 1987 follow-up, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Deathcrush </span>EP, goes beyond attitude: it is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">trash</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">punk</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">grindcore</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">death/black metal</span> crossover album. The opening intro track sounds like a satire to martial music found in Death in June; following tracks are utter gore themed songs, ranging between the listed styles. Deathcrush's idiosyncratic amalgam of styles closed a period of Mayhem's discography before a seven year hiatus, after the suicide of Dead, the vocalist who entered the band after Deathcrush, and the assassination of Euronymous, the former guitar player (in 1991 and 1993, respectively). Eventually, the band released in 1994 "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas", an album that consolidated what is known today as norwegian black metal.<br /><br />(1987) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Deathcrush </span>/ V0<br /><a href="http://anonym.to/?http://lix.in/-3bf343"><span style="font-weight: bold;">download</span></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6371/coverfoh.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6371/coverfoh.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Soidemersolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14935768171234574735noreply@blogger.com101tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031047.post-77137011795355292492009-02-18T02:50:00.007-03:002009-02-19T18:54:57.136-03:00Roy Smeck<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SZuiQDvz15I/AAAAAAAABF4/pMyx5ONlMUA/s1600-h/roysmeck3.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 303px; height: 216px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YWDytsREaUg/SZuiQDvz15I/AAAAAAAABF4/pMyx5ONlMUA/s400/roysmeck3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304011382926333842" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Roy Smeck</span> is a virtuoso genious.

The process of tapelooping was heavily explored by both Fripp and Eno in previous collaborations. This technique analogically scrutinized the possibilities of pitch and length variations in overdub, with discrete (separate) groups of patterns discreetly (restrainedly) intertwined. Eventually, the announced intention of achieving pictorical sensations was later baptized of <b>Ambient Music</b>.</span></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Albeit being endlessly remembered by the thirty minute plus self-titled track, which effectively landmarked Eno's goals by the use of the referred techniques and concepts, the undervalued ageless second half of the album reached the acme of minimal placidity. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">3 variations of Pachelbel's Canon performed by Gavin Bryars' ensemble, remains undeniably influential as observed in several ambient and contemporary classical acts. </span></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />Bryars' first solo attempt was recorded in 75 and released the year after by Eno's Obscure label. It gathers much of what he's performed in Discreet Music, in an excellent debut release, disconsidered the exaggerated use of sampled voice in the closing track.</span><br />
