We recently listed a brutally loud and heavy album from Finnish noise artist Gelsomina called Disease With A Purpose, a cranium-splitting

blast of epic, psychedelic power-feedback that felt like an old school Total assault on steroids. Intense, massive wall-of-noise assaults that sounded like

hordes of malfunctioning guitar amplifiers set on fire, cranked to full blast, and screaming to the heavens, with beautifully grim melodies and destroyed

vocals buried deep inside the churning feedback racket, squalls of organic harsh noise that fell somewhere between classic UK Power Electronics and Total's

free-guitar obliteration. Great stuff. LOUD stuff. Subsequently, I tracked down a couple of copies of this super limited CD Cronenberg/Dead Music

Live, which collects the tracks from the out-of-print Cronenberg 3" CD-R from 2004, with a punishing live Gelsomina assault from a show with

Deutsch Nepal that veers into violent PE territory. The Cronenberg tracks unleash Gelsomina's monstrous, detailed heavy feedback and mangled

guitar/electronics constructs, cut with abstracted tape loops and samples from Cronenberg's venereal horror classic Shivers and other references to

the legendary director's early flesh/horror films, and it's distortion/power skree of the highest order, totally essential for distortion explorers and fans

of the harshest strains of amp-abuse/power electronics/brutal drone; think Total, Merzbow, Skullflower's most abrasive meltdowns, Prurient, Burmese, etc.

Sensitive ears should steer clear however. Limited to 200 handnumbered copies.
