FOOT & MOUTH DISEASE / BEARD WITHOUT A MUSTACHE  split  6" VINYL   (CONTINUUM.)   8.98


���� Another platter of severely messed no-fi filth from the upstate New York scene surrounding the Continuum imprint, this lathe-cut 6" record pairs up the rotted electronics of Foot And Mouth Disease with the grotesque brain-damaged grind of Beard Without A Mustache. As with the other lathe-cut records we were sent, this thing is extremely low-fi and loaded with surface noise, to the extent where it's sort of difficult to determine what noise is accidental, and what is from the actual performance.

���� Foot And Mouth Disease delivers a single track of primitive power electronics called "Mortuary Countertop", comprised of a murky, morbid minor-key synth figure spooling across a backdrop of near-silent blackness flecked with minimal pulses, glimmers of rotting electronic drone, and putrescent tones. The whole thing is over in a matter of minutes, but exudes a sickly, withering atmosphere that'll probably appeal to fans of the classick Slaughter Productions aesthetic.

���� With a name that sounds like something that would've crawled out of the Ohio "tardcore" scene, Beard Without A Mustache are actually a much more vicious proposition, spitting up two songs of noisy, sputtering, off-kilter grindcore from this stripped-down, low-fi drums/guitar/vocals trio, mashing crushing grindpunk riffs with weird guitar noise, rumbling low-frequency drones and odd, stop-start arrangements. Totally obnoxious blast-filth.

���� Limited to one hundred copies.
