THE MASS-Ghost Fleet-(Not On Label-USA-2016)

"Produced once again by Tim Green (THE FUCKING CHAMPS) at his Louder Studios compound in 2016, “Ghost Fleet” sees THE MASS taking their already inimitable sound into deeper levels of cohesion, aggression and dark psychedelia. The album is both the most accessible, song-oriented affair the group has ever put together and it's most intense, thought-provoking offering to date. Two and a half years in the making, “Ghost Fleet” represents THE MASS in its most vital state: focused, recharged and determined to push music beyond defined boundaries."

This introduction is taken from their Bandcamp Page where this amazing album is available as "name your price" download. It was released only as a digital release. A Discogs page about them is here. 

and their official webapge is here.

To complete this post I am attaching a nice review by Conan Neutron from that same Bandcamp page.
Enjoy it.

 "An absolute pummeling of epic proportions. Expect top-notch musicianship and absolutely no mercy is given. The Mass's stunning return could possibly be one of their very best. Difficult music for difficult people, and to be clear: I mean that as a compliment.
RIYL: Melvins, NoMeansNo, Breadwinner, Sweep The Leg Johnny, Naked City. Favorite track: Neuronic Channels Driven to Agitation."

Grit n1-(Fanzine-UK-2016)

A short fanzine made by a Brazilian punk based in London. Quite funny and interesting.

I am including here the editorial to this first number, it is, in fact, a very good presentation/explanation of what this zine is and what for, and I have found it somehow funny and enjoyable too. 

Enjoy it.

ZONE n01-(Fanzine-UK-2016)

A short fanzine with lots of black and white drawings, it includes a short story and the rest is just nice weird drawings.

This is the first issue and I am not sure if there have been more issues printed after it. 

Sometimes there are little collages added making these drawings even more interesting.

 I am posting here a little sample.

I think it is a very nice short zine full of good artworks.

Enjoy it.

Raiva N2 + Bestial Devastation "Ammunition" demo tape-(Fanzine + Cassette-Brazil-2016)

Second number of this Brazilian fanzine in English language, in this issue we find interviews to Verminoize, Tony Montana,Split Veins, Para Raio De Desgraca + Conducta Destructiva, Projecto Macabro and Terror Algum plus few music reviews and some nice pictures.

It came out with the cassette by Bestial Devastation, a Brasilian Duo playing a raw grindcore reminding me some stuff by Sore Throat with a kind of lo-fi recording sounding brutal and noisy.

I guess one of them is the mastermind of this fanzine.

Included a screen printed patch and an A6 poster too by Bestial Devastation.

Get it if you are into grind/crust and similar stuff.
Enjoy it.

v.a.-ONE HUNDRED-(Audioexit Records-Hungary-2016)

I sincerely can not remember how I `ve stumbled upon AudioExit Recs Bandcamp a couple of months ago, I certainly remember that I was soon struck by the quality of the music/artists proposed by this interesting techno netlabel from Hungary releasing great underground electronic music from around the world, altogether with their long history.

I decided, therefore, to get in touch with them and check if they were interested in co-operating with my blog.Here you`ll find a short yet very interesting history written by the headmasters of this label plus related links.The long and well-done compilation ONE HUNDRED is a landmark to celebrate 100 Audioexit Recs productions and at the same time a step further towards some changes too.

A big thanx to Robert & Tamas for their contribution.

Enjoy it.

 Here a brief history:

"Audioexit Records was founded back in 2007 by two Hungarian producers, who wanted to create a platform to release their own music but the project evolved fast to host some very talented raising artists and deliver uncompromising underground music to the world. The aesthetic of the label was continuously developed keeping the quality in focus and since the releases came out as a free download, no compromises had to be made regarding what kind of music is released. This resulted in a strong presence for the imprint in the world of netlabels and became well respected and appreciated. 

After 9 years of operation and 100 releases, the two founders decided to take a step further and go into the world of physical releases and closing an era which was very beautiful and productive and opening a new one which could be even more successful. This new era started in 2017 with the first cassette release of Audioexit, deploying well-known artists beside local talents and presenting the same uncompromising sound of electronic music what the label was always known for. Continuing with more physical outputs the label wants to be a strong pillar in the underground music scene"

DANIELE CIULLINI-Identita` Sonora-(Self Relesed-Italy-2016)

Another great release by the cross-cultural genius Daniele Ciullini, mail artist and musician active since the early 80s.
I spoke about him when I posted his digital album Resti(2014).
In that post, you`ll find also his biography and a very useful note about his own works and ideas/messages. His YouTube channel is here
and  here his archive.org page.

In this 4 tracks mini album called Identita` Sonora(Sonic Identity) Daniele crystallizes ancient sound-sculptures where damned souls and imaginary ghosts move swiftly into parallel dimensions leaving us dazed and speechless.

This is a wonderful album for the lovers of old-school industrial and powerful dark ambient.

A very big thanx to Daniele for choosing my blog to share this amazing album.I loved it, simply.

Enjoy it.
