Another ripping tape of necromantic noise-punk from underground artist and one-half of C-Blast faves Sump, Gareth Howells. The last tape we got from his Axnaar project was played non-stop over here, and was one of the more savage spurts of blackened punk/noise that Legion Blotan has sent my way; with the second tape Crucifixion Mass, Howells continues to ejaculate more of his filthy no-fi thrash via these five new songs, each one averaging around two minutes of pounding clumsy drumming, hoarse unintelligible screams, plodding bass drone and an absolute shitstorm of guitar noise, all seemingly recorded through a vomit-encrusted ghetto blaster. The first track "Loss Of Feeling" alone had me reeling, sounding like an old Skullflower rehearsal after the band suddenly became obsessed with early black metal. The following songs are in more of a recognizable (albeit totally brain damaged) hardcore mold, simplistic droning, minor key riffs and pounding, barbaric drumming hurtling as fast as they can go through a fog of hiss and murk. There's also a percussive "clankiness" to Axnaar's drumming that continues to give this an odd, sort-of industrial vibe, and it's definitely more fucked and deformed than what this guy does in Sump. The b-side features a twelve minute live set from 2011 that captures the band unleashing a hellstorm of violent noise in some basement, with a recording so blown out and distorted that it becomes a total blur of hateful black noise along the lines of Wold or Sutekh Hexen. Its another primo tape of loner black metal-ish chaos stomp, released in a limited run of two hundred copies.
