SLAUGHTERGRAVE/WARPEACE - Split Tape - (Deathforce Records-Greece-2011)


Split Tape with Slaughtergrave (Grindcore band from Thessaloniki, Greece) and Warpeace (Crust punk band from Rome, Italy). Limited edition of 50 hand-numbered copies, printed in purple glossy paper. On the spine, the band Warpeace is mistakenly referred to as Warzone. So it states the split as Slaughtergrave / Warzone, which is obviously wrong. Enjoy it.

SHURIKEN/TIMOTHY C. HOLEHOUSE-Split 2009-(Self Released-UK-2009)

Shuriken is a Dutch band playing a kind of indie rock with some noisy influences and obsessive structures,.They seem to be still active and their FB page is here.
 Timothy C Holehouse is a British musician from Dorset, in this tape he offers to us 2 pieces of drone noise industrial.
 TCH (AKA Timothy C Holehouse)
is the alter ego of Tim Holehouse the folk/ blues musician; this is his more leftfield material ranging from noise collages to ambient guitar soundtracks. In mid-2007 Tim Holehouse decided that his two styles of writing were falling into two very separate camps of music and decided to split himself up…Thus Timothy C Holehouse was born!  (although the first album was recorded new years eve to New years day 2006/2007) The name was later shortened to TCH.
This Project will CEASE TO EXIST on 31st December 2014. Records will still be available, but no further live performances or recordings will be made by TCH (timothy c Holehouse).
Info is taken from his official webpage while his Bandcamp page is here.
Enjoy it.

Lieselotte-Live/Pakita-M.S.1.-(Split Tape-Self Released-Switzerland-1998)

Split tape with two very different acts, on one side Lieselotte from Switzerland and on the other side Pakita from Spain.
There is not much info on the cover sleeve although from the few info I can guess a few things.

Lieselotte plays a fast and angry HC punk with political lyrics sung in French language, just 2 lyrics reported on the cover sleeve, it is a live recording of their gig held on 24/02/1998 in an antifascist festival in Neuchatel(Switzerland).
 Although recorded live the overall quality is pretty good, I imagine their live shows must be really powerful.

Pakita seems to be a one-woman project from Spain. She plays a rather violent form of noise industrial made with machines, echos, effects, feedbacks and filtered vocals,
this session was recorded in her "cave" in August 1998 and the recording is awesome.

Other than this info I am not sure if this tape was self-released and where it was released, I guess in Switzerland.

This is definitely a tape both for people into HC punk and Industrial Noise.
Enjoy it.

Vomit A Sbreghe Balon/I Rabiosi-Meglio Sotto Terra Che Su Un'Italia Di Merda-(Split Tape-Tocai Recs-Italy-1996)

With lo-fi recordings and some political lyrics, those 2 bands from Udine share a cassette taped with a  home-recorder in an illegal rehearsal room. They pressed more than 100 copies, the first 100 are hand numbered. The folded cover sleeve reports lyrics, thanx, info and few pics.
They both play a kind of minimal HC Punk, somehow melodic, only apparently demented yet funny.
Enjoy it.

AMEN This Is Religgion n6 + V.A.-Chant D` Amour-[Tape]+The Tapes/Intolerance-[Split C45]-(Fanzine + 2 Tapes-Amen Prod.-Italy-1987)

Another astonishing number of this amazing Italian fanzine, I have already posted the number 5.
In this issue: articles about Sylvia Plath, AndyWarhol, Underground Press, Psychic TV, Against kids torture, Nocturnal Emissions, Christian Religion and organization against the baptism, Magazzini Theatre Group, Gronge, Pedago Party, The Tapes and Intolerance + comics, poetries and news.
This issue came out with two tapes, a compilation covering French artists playing industrial and experimental music + a booklet covering the experimental French scene(literature, photography, art, music, and cinema) and another tape(c45) with two Italian projects: The Tapes(industrial ambient and esoteric electronic) and Intolerance(new wave-post punk).

This production is a piece of history of the industrial music and culture about the lively Italian scene emerging during the 80s.Only in Italian language and if you can`t read Italian then you can still enjoy the music.
Inspiring stuff.
