DECIMATION BOULEVARD Put Your Hand In Fire 3" CDR (Public Guilt) 4.98Here's an interesting new project from Tradd Sanderson, guitarist for the recently reactivated noise rock band and longtime C-Blast faves Cream Abdul Babar. Decimation Blvd. is Tradd's solo project, and this 3" CD-R is the projects first release, with six tracks of heavy industrial creepout. "Does That Come In Pill Form" starts things off with a short but gorgeous wash of glitchy electronics, subaquatic rumblings and dreamy drone that reminds me of Growing's most recent stuff, and then turns into the corroded rhythmic pulse of "Circuit Party", a rusted dronescape of snarling, heavily drugged electronic loops, crackling feedback, and dubby drum hits. "Your Book Is Overdue" is a deafeningly loud blast of subterranean murk, huge factory machines clanging in the distance, deep rumbling drones rippling like shockwaves over pockmarked concrete surfaces. "Midnight At The Gravel Factory" might contain an actual song made up of riffs and vocals, but it's impossible to tell as everything has been pushed so far into the red that whatever was originally there has been mutated into a crumbling distorted melody. The last two tracks are the heaviest on the disc: "Gene Activation" is a simple plodding two-chord dirge , again so blown out and distorted that it's been rendered little more than a pulsating, ultraheavy black throb. And the title track layers ominous horror movie synthesizer ambience and harsh locust electronics over a plodding industrial rhythm that sounds like someone is banging it out on a huge piece of sheet metal; as the piece continues, it begins to turn into a hypnotic, super distorted noise rock jam, a single blown out loop cycling over and over until it flatlines into bleak black ambience. Only 100 of these were made by Public Guilt, so it's pretty damn limited, and the 3" cd-r comes in a black, orange, & white silkscreened tri-fold jacket with an insert sheet and a vinyl sticker.
