Review: Torturing Nurse – Il Communismo Doveva Morire
Artist: Torturing Nurse Album: Il Communismo Doveva Morire Label: Mind Flare Media Year: September 2010 Format: CD Torturing is a good description for this loud, scraping and complete raucous. Metallic scrapes reach chaotic levels. Every single tool in their arsenal is used and played with every limb they have. I’m sure fact is stranger than [...]
Review: Holzkopf – Sober Materials #2: Not By Power (2010)
Artist: Holzkopf Album: Sober Materials #2: Not By Power Year: 2010 Format: CDr Not By Power provides a head-spinning journey through time and concept. Although the precise style varies widely from song to song, it has a very electronic feel overall. In general the songs stick to one lo-fi and fairly simple beat. Layered over [...]
Review: Acid Attack – Orbitoclast
Artist: Acid Attack Album: Orbitoclast Label: Self-Released Year: November 1, 2010 Format: CDr Orbitoclast doesn’t miss any path with more branches than you have fingers to count on!

Artist: Chris Dadge Album: What Comes After Dust Label: Holy Cheever Church Year: 2010 Format: Cassette c-30 Taking off in the solo route Chris Dadge pursues the swamp using percussive experimentation in a very progressive way.

Review: MAAAA – Decay and Demoralization
Artist: MAAAA Album: Decay And Demoralization Label: Mind Flare Media Year: 2010 Format: CD By no means is this a release for the faint of heart. The first track, Karelia,” starts off with such blaring intensity, an indication of the harsh assault of noise you are about to encounter on the album. Every track contains [...]
