Here's another one of Snip-Snip's low-key deathdrone discs, packaged in that signature slimline case and with the SS brand of foldover pastel xerox inserts and cool abstract artwork, and pressed on an unmarked cd-r. We're always looking forward to hearing more stuff from the Snip-Snip vaults, and this one from '08 is one of the heavier discs in the SS catalog. This entry in the label's catalog is a hefty three-track collection of crushing analogue style death-synth from a Nova Scotia based artist named Alex Pearson; this is the first stuff that I've come across from the guy, but it's definitely quality, with each of these monstrous tracks spreading out for eons as he sculpts massive waves of speaker-rattling low end, killer squelchy bass tones, impossibly deep bass-pulse and a general atmosphere of suffocating dread that makes this sound like one of John Carpenter's early 80's film scores combined with a demonic old-school industrial vibe. Pearson doesn't get too busy with his samplers and synthesizers, preferring to construct slowly-evolving washes of tectonic rumble and alien electronic flutter that tend to stretch out for more than ten minutes, and it's pretty minimal stuff. At the same time, This Is My Hell is ridiculously heavy with all of the massive bass-drop frequencies and massive stacked powerdrones, and sometimes this disc reminds me of a more dark-ambient version of robo-sludgesters Black Mayonnaise, but obviously without the drum machines and gurgling fungal vocals. Fans of Hive Mind and Envenomist and that kind of immense death-synth-drone approach should check this guy out for sure.
