Scream & Writhe Forum

Just thought I'd mirror this for the sake of redundancy. Thing is, chap has been on fire since the ignoble return, the correct buttons decisively pressed at the correct if slightly decepti-continuous intervals. Like if Hasegawa were hacked to bits and cunningly recombined at dissociative intervals, ...

Rotmans – 490/504 Fuck, is the whole tape like this? Answer: no, it turns out. But not that far removed. I mean. A b-side less burnt more flatulent still overdriven to bludgeoned extremities and lovin it in the best fast flooded disposition. Think walls in a continuous state of crumble, as walls ou...

Rotmans – 490/504
Burnt fur, amplified. Fuck, is the whole tape like this? Unscheduled orgasm imminent!

There are those who will say they rust things and then there are those who will remain silent (comparatively speaking) and let things ride and work with whatever rusted detritus happens to have washed up on deck. Yet it is in the unwieldy middle that attention is unerringly drawn, dangerous sinkhole...

I am totally starved for a canned coffee review.

Elsewhere posted, but as it sounds sorta review-like, like, Toanche Dwelling. This is a project that, aside from bandcamp, has managed to elude me. Remembering my first encounter (via Scream & Writhe , or Absurd Exposition or...look, y'all know whatsup) with the name. Hmmm, Toanche Dwelling. Ap...

Penned by Seymour Glass, he quavers hopefully?

Gonna regret this in the morning (read: will very probably delete, get it while it's hot), but. Okay. Um. Misorienting. What you get when you have a fully conceived soundwork, exquisitely painstakingly inter-mediated, front to back, right, but which refuses to, like, choose a hole. Or holes, plural....

Cosigned, though it may be antithetical to the project to suggest that hype is to be involved even at an inverted disposition.

Why would I intentionally waste my time listening to what is essentially a loop on repeat? If that's what you're hearing... cuz, like, I sure ain't . (This could, though, open a possibly interestin-slash-boring discussion about music and art and repetition in general, starting with the idear of, sa...

Ah furgh, looks like I'm probably going to have to explain what was meant by "mis-orienting".

I mean, at some point. (There's no rush, is there?)

This person is correct.

That’s right motherfuckers, the definite article. Not any ol’ viodre, no ma’am. As disorienting as scratch that mis-orienting as, or almost as, wait scratch that too, the reference to orientation or apparent dissuasion therefrom, cause like there’s at least enough meat, right, to like sink the earho...

T.E.F./Bastard Noise - Astronomical Sound Images (Troniks) This is a crusher. There is so much peace to be found within these chaotic composition. I caught myself in a trance during some of the most insane T.E.F. cut-ups around here. This is the kind of work I look for in a collaboration between 2 ...

BREAKING THE WILL - Mortal Terrain Incendiary CD (New Forces, 2020) Stuck my hand in the towering pile of unlistened CDs and randomly picked this out. Now, besides maybe a compilation track, the only BTW I had heard prior to this was the Choosing Death CD (Terror & NArcolepsia, 2015). My memory...

I honestly feel as though practically all Hijokaidan since Windom ('92) has had a strong drummer element, to practically include the quite practically practical Ferocity of Practical Life *, though I'd think if you were to google "Hijokaidan" and "Antiknock" you'd get a reasonabl...

I think it's safe to say, Paul never did give a flying fuck*.

Asshole was home before...

I'm tense!


* the semi apology in the liner notes is quite sweet tho

I mean. It's silly. I'm silly. This obsession, right. But 73 , the two studio tracks. All eleven minutes and thirty five seconds worth. Are these not the creme de la creme a la FUCKING harsh? Of course they are. The proverbial pervection. The singed to scorched harshblish. Harshbliss. Harsh stuff ai...

In fact I don’t believe I’ve seen/heard any kind of concerted ‘noise and live drums’ situation that wasn’t just a load of tossed off, tastelessly maximal, rockist bollocks. I remain open minded, however. With the exceptional exception of live drummer'd Hijokaidan, I'd (generally) be inclined to agr...

Or. And I never wanted this to dissolve into one of them boring-arse how you got into the shit shits but apparently...uh. So let's say, at least as far as I'm concerned, there never really were any epiphanies, noise-wise. Just acknowledgements (or, okay, epiphanies, you win) along a continuum of con...

Maybe this thread is more in reference to the listener / buyer perspective ? I think of those who buy physical copies of any noise release they find on Bandcamp, without any knowledge of the greater happenings or history of the genre. Exactly. And perhaps that even better illustrates what I was try...

(so I imagine) Okay, I'll come clean, the idear* is ludicrous simple and plain. But to affirm, says me, no less ludicrous than this tragicomical figure, sitting down and reaffirming to themselves that, "Yes. At this moment. I am listening." No matter. I figure, as long as we're fairly fir...

Not yet into the cans, plural, (currently a can, singular) so apologies in advance if this spew is not sufficiently incoherent. Maybe I'll come back later this evening when I've got my in the cans hat on. This is perhaps more tangential to the topic but seems to have been talked around a fair bit t...

Another try. Noise for its own sake. Call it a sort of default position that might necessarily keep a would be tastemaker honest*, a position which might point to an intrinsic power of noise, namely, that it might (intrinsically) resist the categorical. To the question, what are you getting out of i...
