The hyper-prolific Cali band Actuary (which sometimes features members of Bacteria Cult, Spazz, and grind weirdoes Fetus Eaters) continues to puke up more of their abstract dark industrial, a sound that seems to be growing more monstrous and deformed with each new release; on this outing, they share a one-sided flexi disc with Minneapolis noise duo Juhyo, and both groups deliver a short but effective track of heavy industrial atmospherics and pneumatic death-trance.

First up is Actuary's "Non Passive Failure"; it's a mesmerizing cloud of interstellar ambience, a billowing mass of incandescent drones and whirring electronics that become increasingly littered with an assortment of scratching noises, gritty textural sounds and eventually a rush of sinister synth notes ascending into the atmosphere as a wall of smoldering black distortion encroaches on the shimmering cosmic drift; by the end of the track, it becomes a pyre of electronic immolation.

Juhyo's "The Suffocation Colony" follows with an exercise in rhythmic noise fuckery and bursts of controlled harsh distortion, one that gradually evolves into a factory din of looping machine rumble, rhythmic flanger sweeps, juddering engines, and erupting into a malevolent wall of mechanical noise and haunting synthdrift at the end. Definitely in the same vein as the similarly bleak industrial sounds that were recently offered on their recent split with Blue Sabbath Black Cheer and Bacteria Cult.

Released on a red translucent flexi disc without a sleeve, no doubt in some tiny limited edition run.
