Some more classic deathtroniks from the RRRchives...this 1996 disc is from the Italian noise project Dead Body Love (aka Gabriele Giuliani), who actually just reissued another one of their older albums through Troniks not too long ago. DBL's style of brutal electronic noise was more rhythmic than most of it's peers, often punctuating the dense slabs of feedback and overloaded feedback with throbbing bassy ryhthms that had an almost techno-like quality, although the emphasis would always be first and foremost on the crushing blocks of analogue synth destruction, and the rhythms would usually be murky throbs relegated to the background, often swamped by rising levels of noise. Maximum Dose showcases several different angles of Dead Body Love's fearsome longform noise across three lengthy tracks that range from eight to nearly thirty minutes in length. The opening track "Injecting The Pain" starts off with a throbbing distorted synth beat that sounds a little like something from an early techstep track, a noisy rhythmic synth pattern that is slowly altered and changed over the course of the track. As the track goes on, DBL stacks on layers of squelch and garbled feedback that eventually buries the rhythm completely . The second track "So Many Ways To Kill A Man" however is pure skin-peeling harsh noise. There might be some kind of rhythm struggling underneath all of the squirming high-end feedback, crunchy synth buzz and crushing low end distortion, who knows...everything is devoured by the blasts of ultra distorted textures, and it's more akin to the grinding wall-noise of The Rita, Masonna, and Cherry Point. The third n' final track "Leech" is a combination of the rhythmic and the distorted, beginning with a deep throbbing synth pulse which is looped into a constant subsonic rhythm. Sheets of howling distortion, crunchy amp grit and grinding low-end buzz ooze over top of it,more blasts of insectile noise, evil machinegrind clatter, terrifying high end skree, finally ending in a holocaust of hellish white noise.

The disc comes in a plastic sleeve with xerox-damaged artwork inserts.
