A collaboration between the harsh blacknoise of Abandoner and the slicing feedback-driven power electronics of Dead By A Thousand Cuts, this CD-R contains six tracks of evil, ultra-murky skree that is actually comparable to an subtly satanic version of Matt Bower's Total, particularly on tracks like "Thunders N Lightnings" and "Lower Your Flag" with their dense clotted masses of rumbling amplifier noise and chaotic feedback. Death By A Thousand Cuts is a noise project that I had already been familiar with, mainly from their split CD with Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan that came out a few years ago (and which we still have in stock here), but this was the first that I had heard from the NYC based project Abandoner. It turns out that Abandoner is actually the "noise" solo project of Jay Newman, who all of you doom metal fans will probably recognize as the drummer for Unearthly Trance, and he's joined here by his Unearthly Trance bandmate Darren Verni who contributes some scathing, grisly vocals on a few of the tracks. Choir of Dead Whores is super negatory guitar/electronic noise, shifting between those aforementioned blasts of Total-style amplifier carnage to heavy static drones and whirring electronic sounds, and even has Verni reciting the poetry of Charles Baudelaire over the final two tracks "The Gladly Dead" and "The Litanies Of Satan", both of which are awesome black fogs of nightmarish droning black metal guitar noise, Prurient-style feedback, and confrontational verbal venom. The disc is spraypainted in black paint, and comes in a black slimline jewelcase with an acetate/xerox insert cover, limited to 100 copies.
