Two hulking slabs of cancerous, seismic blacknoise that dunk your skull in charred, blackened rumble and grating, screeching feedback for nearly an hour of abuse. It's Sam McKinlay from harsh noise behemoth The Rita scaling back on the ultra-dense walls of concrete-mixer deathdrone that he erects with that project, instead going for a wicked Power Electronics onslaught that rises up out of the ashes of his black metal-esque noise project Ba.Ku. I haven't heard any of the Ba.Ku stuff so I don't know it compares, but the two tracks on Her Serpent stand on their own. Vicious lashings of high end feedback and shrieking skree gouge chunks of bloodied meat out of the churning, roaring drone, an endless grinding of thick and impenetrable distorted low frequency white noise that is sickeningly heavy in an ear-bleeding, Whitehouse/Merzbow way. You already know if this is something you'd be into. The vocals make this stand out, too. Shrieked, distorted screaming is one of the core elements of the Power Electronics sound, but the screaming vocals here are heavily treated with a bunch of other effects and are mutated into echoing, dubby howls. It sounds crazy, and gives BT. HN. a slightly more psychedelic aura than other practicioners of Whitehouse-inspired harsh noise, and fans of the blackened noise of Stalaggh and Emit would probably be into this just as much as anyone into PE, noise walls, harsh-as-hell Japanese noise, etc.
