AL QAEDA / DEMONOLOGISTS  split  CASSETTE   (Teen Action)   6.00


Back in stock! A new cassette injection of scathing black atrocity from Demonologists, pairing up with Al Qaeda whose work continues to become more savage every time I hear something new from 'em. This split tape matches five super short tracks from AQ and one sidelong noise attack from Demonologists, released in a limited run of seventy copies.

The Al Qaeda side is a series of demonic noisecore miniatures, starting up with the echoing thud of dubbed-out drum machines, then explode into a frenzy of ultra-distorted black noise. Over-modulated riffs and spastic, rabid vocals pound away in a wash of white noise, resembling a section of a Wold song clipped and looped over and over. That's followed by a slow lurching industrial dirge of chugging out-of-tune guitar, mangled hyper distorted drums and static, then a brief flash of an electric guitar melody repeated over smoldering low end noise. Putrid shrieking vocals introduce another industrial black metal hypno trance, this time sounding something like a super low-fi version of Nekrasov stuck in a locked groove and bathed in vinyl crackle and hiss. And last, a gleaming ambient dronescape of glistening keyboard tones that drift and waver beneath strange wet crackling sounds.

Demonologists follow with "The Bastard Curse", a blast of black hiss and fluttering electronic chaos that shifts between grinding, crackling slabs of heavy low end filth laced with high metallic tones, and even heavier stretches of ultra distorted noise wall and light-devouring black drone. Like all of Demonologist�s work, it's harsh, heavy, and ferocious, a night-black noise wall seething with animus.
