Suppression / Flvx Capacitor (Chaotic Noise Productions)

I was really excited when this tape showed up in the mail the other day; I've been looking forward to reviewing this release for a while. There's something really satisfying about getting a tape that's a little under 15 minutes in length, but with a song count that would makemost people go "how could you possibly remember that all of that?". This tape contains 27 tracks from FLVX and 31 tracks from Suppression, wrapped up in a traditional black/clear tape case with some brigh artwork. The art is definitely eye-catching, since it's orange, light blue, and yellow (a little different from your standard grind release, haha!), but otherwise it doesn't really stand out as amazing artwork to me. But what about the contents of the tape? Do they stand out? Lets find out.

I started with the Flvx Capacitor side, and my first though was "damn, this is what I was hoping for". It starts with a sample and some swelling noise, and promptly burts into a no-frills grindcore frenzy. To me, it sounds like it was recorded very simply - live, raw, and all in the same room. It's very raw, but in a good way. You can hear everything pretty well - the vocals, drums, and guitar definitely stand out and don't really get lost, though I wish I was able to hear the bass a bit more. The times you can hear it, it definitely has that grinding bass sound that we all know and love. But besides the sound, this is 27 tracks of non-stop, pummelling grindcore. This is what grind SHOULD be - just...fucking relentless. You don't get a break, you just get broken.

Suppression comes next, and this side doesn't disappoint at all. It's loud, it's fast, and it's full of that electronic noise that you'd expect from Suppression. Honestly, I'd say it's even more relentless than the Flvx Capacitor side. The distorted vocals are so up front and in your face, it almost feels like Jason is grabbing your head and screaming into your ears, and he sounds PISSED. The drums come through really well, as does the electronics when they're used, though a lot of times when everything was going at full blast, it felt pretty easy to miss the bass. But then again...we're in this for the speed and the aggression, not the ability to pick out the exact notes he's hitting, am I right? This side of the split is absolutely pulverizing, and it's a truly fine piece of noise.

All in all - I listened to this a few times in a row, and frankly, I'm fucking exhausted. This split blew me away, and it sucked the life right out of me with its huge tracklist of chaos and noise. I loved this, and I'll go back to it in the future, for sure.

Oozing Meat - Untitled/Rawhead

Anyone who's familiar with Oozing Meat (haha... as if anyone is) will remember that these dudes know how to create something really nasty and harsh. Their noise is stand out with bassless, guitarless... blast styled stop/start mayhem and a ton of distorted vocals. For this review I chose two of heir releases from 2017. To be honest this is very rare situation when I can't set the rating mark… It's because this stuff is really weird and crazy. So who is Oozing Meat? And how did they came from the deep of the dark abyss? I don't know why they are here, probably they want to annihilate us, or they just like our Earth burritos, who knows? As for the first question it's a little bit easier. Oozing Meat - is a collaboration between Jason Hodges (Suppression) and his friend Eric Tomillon. Jason is in charge of all the drumming and backing vocals. Main screams and wall of noise - Eric. Together they managed to create a real swamp of noise. So let`s check the first thing. It's a lovely CDr release with really interesting design. Guys used a transparent plank with black logo in it and a photo of some kind of rock(?) or rotten lungs (?). It looks lovely but the sound is not so good. On this small session the guys play very messy and dirty noisegrind. Stop/go parts with a ton of noise effects… This record is heavy as fuck, but unfortunately this thing has no memorable parts… Now let's switch to the “Rawhead” tape. This tape starts with huge load of aggressive energy… Holy cow! It's hard to believe that two human creatures can have so much negative energy, hate and ferocity! This small tape with a cute monster sounds freaking harsh! These guys used different approaches during recording and that helps this tape to sound more live. But “Rawhead” is still close to classic noisecore which is cool. Side A is over, let's turn over our tape. Second side reminds me a bit of a wild drone noise with really weird screams (I suspect that this is a scream of some kind of creature from an old horror film)... this shit is 100% psychedelic! There is no usual noisecore druming and screaming… this side is so weird, haha! All in all, this is a fun EP to spin time and time again. Primarily recommended for noise or grindcore fans.
