DEATHKEY / BIZARRE UPROAR split CASSETTE (Impulsy Stetoskopu) 9.98The original Audial Decimation LP release of this malevolent power electronics split between Deathkey and Bizarre Uproar has been sold out for a while, but we recently tracked down a limited edition cassette release of the split that came out on the Polish industrial label Impulsy Stetoskopu in 2011 and subsequently grabbed all of the remaining copies. Now sold out at the source, this is one of the last places you'll find this handmade tape edition of this monstrous PE abomination...
An ULTRA abrasive shock-assault of infernal power electronics from the legendary Bizarre Uproar and the insanely hate-filled satanic electronics of the controversial Deathkey...
Deathkey delivers the sprawling a-side track "Prodigiorvm Ac Ostentorvm Chronicon: Movements I And II", a blast of bestial black power electronics combined with a bizarre mixture of occult sci-fi weirdness and fascist doctrine. It's a grueling listening experience; a tapestry of slavering monstrous vocals and rabid snarling, the pandemonium of gnashing jaws of starving wolves, massive rumbling bass frequencies and swarms of cancerous particulate matter. Distant horn-like blasts echo, and then fade into shadows. Heavy electronic noises throb amongst drum-like percussive pounding, a continuous hypnotic rumble that seems to slip into a sort of locked groove, then breaks off into processed spoken word samples and minimal electric hum. And then those hellish vocals will come screaming back in, a legion of demonic intelligences all blasting from one shredded throat. A vomitous nightmare of vile power electronics and putrid ambience.
On "Joukkohauta" (which is Finnish for "mass grave"), Bizarre Uproar goes for an equally violent noise assault, but with a heavy amount of skull-shredding junknoise. The sixteen minute track begins with deep rumbling motor-buzz and grinding factory noise, woven with strange hissing vocalizations off in the distance, and distorted yelling. At first, it's all murky and washed out, a droning electronic darkness, but then it locks into a mesmeric machine-groove that suddenly comes into clearer focus, and now the sound becomes much louder and aggressive, the furious vocals raging and heavily delayed over bursts of destroyed metal screech and wailing feedback and screaming scrap metal avalanche, rising in a violent junk-noise/power electronics assault that builds and builds and gets more intense, at last erupting into a full on wall of noise, a blast furnace of feedback/metal devastation with somber hymnal voices bleeding through the sonic holocaust.
Like everything else on Impulsy Stetoskopu, this cassette release is a super-limited item that has been put together in a bulky handmade package, the tape housed in a regular clear case with a full-color j-card, but that's enclosed inside of a white bubble envelope that's plastered with various stickers and a piece of metal mesh affixed over the yawning skeletal jaws from the original LP cover. Each copy is hand-numbered in an edition of one hundred copies.
