ENDLESS SEA  Complotto  CASSETTE   (Cathartic Process)   7.00
Complotto IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Back in stock! Complotto is a vicious din of Italian industrial noise from hellscape sculptor Matteo Castro, serving up two sidelong tracks that are about twenty minutes long apiece. Never heard Endless Sea prior to picking this tape up from Cathartic Process, but I definitely dig this nasty mosaic of brutal spastic noise, spacious and atmospheric metal percussion, and brief passages of ultra bleak emptiness that are penetrated by blasts of massive rhythmic machine-throb. Needless to say, if you like the sort of grim industrial soundscapery that CP generally traffics in, this tape will not disappoint. At times, the sounds of Complotto resemble classic Italian death industrial, especially at the end of the first side when the sound slips into a monstrous pulsating throb that creeps through the last eight minutes, the deep filthy ominous buzz surrounded by a squall of a shrieking metal avalanche of collapsing structures, channeling the crumbling horror of Mauthausen Orchestra and Atrax Morgue but traveling through a constant shifting cacophony of metal abuse, blown out static frequencies and mangled might-be-vocals/might be circuit torture outbursts. Crushing and psychedelic and fast paced, the second side starts off with an atmospheric expanse of hiss and hum and buzz, deep metal clanking and crashing in the depths, interspersed with blasts of heavy bass frequencies and shrieking high end tonal scrapes, and the feel here is absolutely threatening and evil even compared to the first side. Fantastic stuff.
