Cassette

I do respect Anna M a lot, for she’s part of the Distant Voices-crew, taking care of the visual part (photography and graphic design) for the releases done by this fabulous French label. So I was quite surprised, as well as pleased, to notice that she wrote some own material. Eventually Anna did record some of those compositions during some days (it were times of seclusion) in spring 2015 (i.e. vocals, guitars, bass, drums and additional sounds), and the result was mixed and mastered in June 2015.

Efferat are a young act from the East of the States (Ohio and Philadelphia), consisting of the brothers David and Nick Brake (they took care of mix and mastering too for this release), and drummer Chris Drossis. Together with some other session musicians, they recorded this strange material in order to have it released on CD in early spring 2015.

Recently I got in touch with Jordan Fillmore, a guy from Moncton, Canada, who owns Burn Ward Records, a Noise / Industrial / Ambient label with tape-pressings especially. But the guy is active in some projects too, such as Manzbow or Skeletal, the latter being a solo-outfit by this human being.

A project named after a horror actor, Give Praise Records taking care of the release, and ‘noisecore’ as part of the title? Yippie and Allhellluiahaha, let’s celebrate a new Gospel release. Give praise to the Unholy One!

Recently I came across Canada-based label Burn Ward Records, a Noise / Ambient / Electro / Industrial label that releases its material on cassette edition only.

Killed In Public are a duo with a very convinced DIY-attitude. The logo, the black-and-white cover (all people burning to death, publicly executed), and a release on cassette only (FYI: limited to 40 copies only). Hail the underground, one might think.
