GEZOLEEN  Black Spaces Between Stars  CD   (Acerbic Noise Development)   11.98


Yet another pleasant surprise from our pals over at Acerbic Noise Development, following the asskicking HEMATOVORE album we just got in from them.

GEZOLEEN is Alabama improviser/multi-instrumentalist Jeff McLeod's challenging, malevolent take on post-Am Rep/Skin Graft noise rock spun off into

particularly ear-destroying directions. Noise rock basslines and drumming are gnarled and obscured by abrasive noise,McLeod's vocal dementia fluctuates

between harsh singing and insane babbling,and synths,textured electronics and static add a layer of filth to everything. While not as blown and melted as

Geisha's brutal whiteout, Gezoleen occupies a similiar mudfield of smeared blackened tuneage and deformed arrangements. Everything's covered in caustic

feedback that whips out of control, and songs sound like they could implode or burnout at any second. Hellish, angular, barbed-wire distorto rock spitting

gunks of black noise all over your grill. A long-lost imaginary soundtrack to Hellraiser II: Hellbound as scored by Today is The Day, Thrones, and Mount

Shasta blasted out of a tinny transistor radio hotwired to your spinal column. Menacing shit that closes out with a sort-of hidden Dazzling Killmen song at

the very end. Artwork is from Paul Nitsche (Oneiroid Psychosis, Dazzling Killmen and Skin Graft comics).
