Another crushing C-30 attack from Epicene Sound Replica! This tape is both a collaborative effort and a split release showing off each of these Midwestern outfits chops. The A side rocks a mighty 15 minute jam that was formed thru mail collab between Black Moss and Josh Lay. This one is total unease, the artists snaking their way through terrain populated with gobs of buzzing, rhythmic pulse and ultra-distrorted doomdrone guitars, backfiring circuit shrieks, the howling of amplified sheets of metal being scraped down a wall,and blasts of beyond-lo-fi black metal that rise and sink in the ocean of feedback and gritty distortion-pedal manipulation. A grim, threatening soundscape. Side two features a solo track from each: Black Moss unleashes "Skog", a horrific morass of high end feedback and demonic, distorted vocals a la Prurient, augmented with deeply buried detuned black metal guitars; this is pretty damn intense/awesome, I love this sort of fried out combination of basement noise and super-abstracted, blacknoise/black metal. After that, Josh Lay appears with "Inauguration Of The Beast", a ghoulish ritual of fucked up beast chanting, oil-drum percussion, factory ambience, and rumbling doom distortion, quite surreal, with an almost Eraserhead kind of vibe. Black glossy cover, hand numbered limited edition of 50 copies.
