���� Another one of my latest obsessions is the hillbilly noisecore outfit Erectile Dementia, who exploded into a frenzy of activity this past year, cranking out nearly a half-dozen releases in short order. And they all pulverize. It's the current one-man band from Kentucky maniac Doug Long, who has a ridiculous amount of projects and bands on his C.V., though he's probably most recognizable by extreme music enthusiasts as a member of the thrashcore bands Hellnation and Brody's Militia. The guy is clearly a speedfreak (musically speaking, of course), and his Erectile Dementia stuff takes that to another level, unleashing a ferocious and eccentric brand of noisecore that incorporates hard rock and punk elements, and actually writes songs around his ultra-violent eruptions of chaotic blurrcore. Might be some of the "catchiest" noisecore-type stuff I've heard, as well as some of the heaviest. We've picked up a bunch of his 7" titles, all of which are pretty ripping.

���� Another in the Demented pile of split 7"s we've picked up from this Kentucky reprobate, this one has E.D. teaming up with another one of Long's bands, the like-minded, offbeat thrashpunk outfit Stabbed To Death. First up is Erectile Dementia, rampaging through nine songs of slime-splattered, ultra-violent noisegrind that's a little less quirky than some of the other stuff we've heard from the project, but still totally savage, loaded with whirlwind assaults of clattery blastbeats and neanderthal hardcore punk drumming, monstrous guttural roars and chainsaw riffs spat out at supersonic speeds, everything erupting into a psychotic cacophony with the occasional power-punk riff ripping through the mess. There's less of the 70's style hard rock riffage, but it's still a real blast.

���� The four songs from Stabbed To Death equally rip, delivering some serious hyperspeed blastcore that reminds me of classic UK thrash like Heresy, Ripcord and Intense Degree, a fury of insanely fast tempos, cyclonic (and vaguely metallic) guitar riffs, over-the-top frenzied screams and a general air of chaos, but also spiked with the occasional riot-inducing pogo hook on songs like "My Fist, Your Face".

���� Comes on "Psychedelic Reactor Meltdown" colored vinyl, and includes vinyl stickers.
