���� 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.

���� Dismal Visions is yet another killer 7" that this hard rocking backwoods noisecore outfit has spewed out over the past year. These blast-cretins are seriously addictive, and this twenty-three song EP continues to thrill on a large scale. As with everything else Erectile Dementia has put out, it's more than just an Anal Cunt-style exercise in cyclonic hateblast. This stuff is more complex, more musical than most bands of this ilk, and there are actual songs in all of this noisy blastbeat-infested barbarism. Amid all of the skull-shredding noisecore wipeouts with titles like "Shit-Spattered Throne of The Mongoloid King" and "Dismal Visions Of Mediocre Asshole Violently Murdering Each Other", you also get some bludgeoning Frostian riffage, oddball new wavey synthesizers, crushing doom-laden metal, eruptions of riot-inducing punk and hard rock riffage, and more, crafted into catchy, furious tuneage. The band describes this stuff as a "...schizo amalgamation of inept noisecore and idiotic rock n' roll..." but that sells this short, I think. It's super heavy stuff, and all of their interjections of weird Devo-esque keyboards and ass-shakin' rock make this (and all of their other 7"s) infectiously re-listenable. Awesome!
