“Exsits”
Label: Deadsix Communications
Official Website
(2.5/5)

This is the fifth full length release from Murder by Static, the solo project from Chris Stephniewski. Not having heard any previous material from Murder by Static, it’ll be hard to compare this to prior releases but I’d think it a safe bet that anyone into instrumental noise experimentation, glitch and ambient music would find a good deal to enjoy here. Pulsing, rhythmic and often very intense.. the best moments of this release definitely occur in the sparse yet very effective quiet moments. Read More »

(4/5)

This is some good noise. I haven’t heard a lot of Merzbow (and there’s a lot out there), but I definitely enjoy this one. It’s got 4 tracks of looped, layered, rhythmic noise. The tracks are thick with various textures of distortion and have a lot of sounds buried in the mix. Read More »

“the once and future world” is a brilliant title for an absolutely engaging instrumental release. The music is just as pondering, dark and beautiful as the title of the CD would suggest. Read More »

Not knowing French or the history of this band is going to seem a little bit like wearing blinders while reviewing this release and keep me from commenting on their lyrical content entirely but that being said… Read More »

(Ant-Zen)
Official Website
(4/5)

Relentless… grinding… seizure inducing walls of noise guaranteed to clear those clogged arteries and to blow out any and all pending brain hemorrhages. Monokrom’s release “tales of rabbits and hares” is far from the pleasant sounds you’d expect from the bunny-laden cover art. Read More »
