DEATHKEY / BIZARRE UPROAR  split  LP   (Audial Decimation Records)   19.98
split IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

An ULTRA abrasive shock-assault of infernal power electronics from the legendary Bizarre Uproar and the insanely hate-filled satanic electronics of the controversial Deathkey...

Deathkey delivers the sprawling a-side track "Prodigiorvm Ac Ostentorvm Chronicon: Movements I And II", a blast of bestial black power electronics combined with a bizarre mixture of occult sci-fi weirdness and fascist doctrine. It's a grueling listening experience; a tapestry of slavering monstrous vokills and rabid snarling, the pandemonium of gnashing jaws of starving wolves, massive rumbling bass frequencies and swarms of cancerous particulate matter. Distant horn-like blasts echo, and then fade into shadows. Heavy electronic noises throb amongst drum-like percussive pounding, a continuous hypnotic rumble that seems to slip into a sort of locked groove, then breaks off into processed spoken word samples and minimal electric hum. And then those hellish vocals will come screaming back in, a legion of demonic intelligences all blasting from one shredded throat. A vomitous nightmare of vile power electronics and putrid ambience.

On "Joukkohauta" (which is Finnish for "mass grave"), Bizarre Uproar goes for an equally violent noise assault, but with a heavy amount of skull-shredding junknoise. The sixteen minute track begins with deep rumbling motor-buzz and grinding factory noise, woven with strange hissing vocalizations off in the distance, and distorted yelling. At first, it's all murky and washed out, a droning electronic darkness, but then it locks into a mesmeric machine-groove that suddenly comes into clearer focus, and now the sound becomes much louder and aggressive, the furious vocals raging and heavily delayed over bursts of destroyed metal screech and wailing feedback and screaming scrap metal avalanche, rising in a violent junk-noise/power electronics assault that builds and builds and gets more intense, at last erupting into a full on wall of noise, a blast furnace of feedback/metal devastation with somber hymnal voices bleeding through the sonic holocaust.

Released in a limited edition of three hundred copies. The thick 180 gram Lp comes in a set of heavy screen printed covers and includes two glossy double-sided inserts. A note: the labels on this pressing were accidentally switched by the plant, so you'll want to be aware of that when playing the record.
