Pick up any old, xeroxed mailorder list from one of those long gone noisecore tape labels that were around back in the 1990's, and yer sure to find Extreme Hair Stench listed somewhere on there. This German one-man band has been around since 1992, the project of a guy named Andy Kramer who has released dozens of cassettes and CDRs of bizarre and abstract low-fi noise collages through labels like Chaotic Noise, Be A Freak, and Billy Nocera's pre-Razorback label Stupidity Records, among others. I always dug Extreme Hair Stench's weird tapestries of audio scum and grinding electronic noise, and was surprised to see something new from the project pop up recently. This six track CDR on R.O.N.F. blends together harsh noise, experimental sound collage and heavy drone in classic EHS style, opening with a lengthy track of muffled death metal riffing and distant death roars drowning in oceans of reverb, and then moving through swirling waves of laserblast FX, harsh oscillator manipulations, brief samples of eerie female singing (taken from an obscure album from the 60's psych band White Noise), huge roaring infernos of distorted noise and grinding jet-engine drone, throbbing industrial loops, avalanches of murky sonic soup and melted vocal tracks, weird electronic squiggles and tape manipulation, scrambled radio transmissions in all sorts of different languages blended together into a dense dreamlike babble, huge crumbling walls of crunchy low-end, demonic mumbling vocals, brutal blasting junknoise, crushing slabs of Merzbowian noise terror, all of this sometimes rising up in a suffocating tsunami of sound like hearing one hundred different turntables all spinning different records simultaneously. Imagine a dementia-afflicted mix of Stockhausen, Hanatarash, and Negativland to start with, but it gets skuzzier and weirder as you make yer way through this warped soundworld. The disc also has the 1994 demo cassette Nothing To Hear, Nothing To See And Nothing To Say included as the last track; the disc comes in a jewel case with full color handassembled packaging, numbered out of only 75 copies.
