I'd only previously heard one or two things from Illinois-based noise musician Bryan Tholl and his previous project Is, a drone/harsh noise endeavor that released a solid split 7" with The Cherry Point a couple years ago that we've carried here at C-Blast. After that project ceased activity, Tholl went on to begin recording under the name Anti, a pure harsh noise outfit that debuts here on Small Doses with this 3" disc. It features a single nineteen-minute piece that starts off with the sound of scraping metal en masse, a swelling din of extreme metallic noise, chain-driven cacophony and guttural electronic buzz that has hints of the sort of chaotic junked noise sculptures and percussive destruction that Japanese artist Kimihide Kusafuka (K2) and Brit noise-fiend Hal Hutchinson are known for. But then it quickly starts to pile on so much additional black static and sputtering amplifier filth that the racket is buried under a mountain of harsh smoldering distortion. Its a far cry from the static, unmoving walls that you get from artists like Vomir; this is brutal, tumultuous noise, an avalanche of acrid black lava that swallows everything whole, a rumbling, sputtering raging din of collapsing buildings and overdriven distortion generators, a sprawl of absolute sonic destruction that starts to resemble something akin to a K2 track off of Metal Dysplasia being remixed by The Cherry Point. Total obliteration / negation / immolation. Comes in a small black and white sleeve, released in an edition of fifty-one copies.
