Daiben & Útero Bitch and Kadaver + Armenia - Psychopathia Sexualis
Lots of acts on just one tape. We´re talking about a split between 2 acts doing a collaboration each. On the A-side, we have a Spanish harsh noise project called Daiben, which collaborates with another noise project called Utero Bitch. On the B-side, we have 2 known veteran acts, Kadaver and Armenia. Both sides offer 15 minutes of challenging brutalities, which gives us 30 minutes of torture! The cover artwork also (clearly) shows what is being expected!
The first track, called VHX, has a high-pitched tone and some screaming glass-shattering sounds... microphone and vocals maybe? There is also a constant drilling sound in there, a dentist drill again? Some hidden painful dialogues hide behind the torturous soundscape, probably from some exploitation flick from the 70s. The whole thing sounds like it has been recorded in some machine room of sorts; it has that kind of mood to it. It all ends like all dirty movie ends.
The second track, Tits-off (ouch!), starts head-on with a thick bar of layered and flanged distortion. Flanged, cracked, or something being ripped apart, and something melts in a hot frying pan. At one time, I was quite sure that I was hearing a sample from the Jonestown recording. Although it´s quite harsh and brutal, it also has an eerie ambient quality to it.
It delivers what it must deliver, and the expectation will not be disappointed. Nothing new under the sun here, "just" a guaranteed and concentrated dose of brutal mind-bending industrial-noise with perverted sexual undertones.
