CHERRY POINT, THE  Night Of The Bloody Tapes  CD   (Troniks)   8.98
Night Of The Bloody Tapes IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Hyper-dense deformed distortion storms, wrapped up in classic splatter flick worship? Count me in. According to Phil Blankenship, the man behind esteemed

imprint Troniks/PACrec and The Cherry Point, this disc features material "Compiled from three years of cassette releases, Night of the Bloody Tapes provides

a shattering drive-in experience of unrelenting horror and harsh noise nightmares. Equally fueled by Fangoria magazine, import laserdiscs, third generation

vhs bootlegs, damaged contact mics & DOD death metal distortion, The Cherry Point has set the ultimate bait in the trap of terror." Us being enormous fans of

this particular cinematic and cultural canon, and seeing how Night Of The Bloody Tapes houses a nonstop barrage of some of the juiciest ultranoise

we've been crushed by since the last album from The Rita, we can't get enough of this stuff. This lengthy disc has four tracks over 40 minutes, compiled from

the long deleted split cassettes with Ahlzagailzehguh, Black Sand Desert, Luasa Raelon,

Nkondi, Andy Ortmann, Pedestrian Deposit, The Rita, and more. Heavy walls of swirling

distortion pedal cutup overload that almost drown out far off melodies and shrieking buried feedback and ominous foghorns. Leave this on for more than five

minutes, and the massed roar of The Cherry Point will blank your mind. Killer static powerdrone and terminal feedback loops blast you at top volume, similiar

in spirit to The Rita and Whitehouse, all served up as potent splatter/exploitation worship. Phil recommends the classics: "ESSENTIAL VIEWING: Shriek of the

Mutilated, Raw Meat, Night of the Demon, Girls Nite Out, House on Sorority Row, Just Before Dawn, The Burning, Shock Waves, Mardi Gras Massacre, The Town

That Dreaded Sundown, Criminally Insane, Creature From Black Lake, The Deadly Spawn, Shredder and films by William Lustig and Larry Cohen." Mixed & mastered

by John Wiese (Bastard Noise / Sissy Spacek). Crucial.
