		<description><![CDATA[Furdidurke s/t pro-tape (2010, CW Productions)

Genre: Raw black metal
Format: Tape

Pioneered by bands like Darkthrone in the second wave of black metal, the lo-fi aesthetic was a statement of defiance against the more polished and produced sounds coming from their contemporaries at the time. This production choice marginalized the importance of clarity while emphasizing mood. If black metal is supposed to be bleak and unsettling, then all that is polished must be stripped away.

Furdidurke is among a segment of bands pushing raw black metal so far that the very genre itself begins to disintegrate. It's no surprise that the band has picked up a following in noise circles-- their music arguably skews closer to the world of noise than it does to the conventional Norwegian black metal sound. This latest professional tape out on CW Productions collects various unreleased recordings from 2005-2006, including alternate takes and rehearsals. The songs are about as corrosive as you'll find-- high-gain guitars bleeding into crashing percussion and tortured vocals as they all race into oblivion.

The production choice can-- and has-- been used as a crutch for bands lacking in skill or ideas to put out music with a shortage of other redeeming qualities. Does Furdidurke frequently sound like a garage black metal act, perpetually in a jam session down the street from your house? I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone who makes this statement . It does all sound very amateurish and messy, but I would imagine the goal (if they even have one) of Furdidurke and other bands of their ilk is not to be held in the same regard as legendary black metal acts like Emperor or Burzum.

If you're the type to revel in the hissing violence of this breed of extra raw black metal, then this tape is worth a listen. If you're looking for a place to start with Furdidurke, this is a good entry point. If you're a Furdidurke fan, then you're just reading this for some sort of validation-- or a reason to send angry comments or emails. If you're one of those pious black metal fans who thinks that bands like Furdidurke and Bone Awl are ruining your beloved genre, then you will no doubt hate this tape too.

I happen to fall in the middle. I enjoy this style, but I often find myself more excited by the idea, than the actual music itself. This is fans only territory.

BUY: $6 @ Seedstock Records

		<description><![CDATA[Ulaan Khol, III (2010, Soft Abuse)

Genre: Drone, Noise rock, Psyche
Format: CD

For the last two year's Steven R. Smith has been laboring under the moniker of Ulaan Khol, crafting his trilogy of albums simply known as "Ceremony." Parts I and II, above all else, demonstrate Smith's command of the guitar. The material varies from washed-out guitar space expeditions to kaleidoscopic explosions of psychedelia.

On III, Smith brings it all home for a big finish. Noise rock flurries give way to cleanly-picked ambient passages. Deep space drones get sucked into heavy sludge. Smith chains all of these elements together without distraction. III could have been an exhaustive album, but Smith's sharp focus keeps everything moving at a brisk pace, leaving not even the slightest chance for boredom. Despite its numerous shifts in tempo and style, III never feels like a disconnected series of simple jam sessions. Smith is not just a talented guitarist, but he is also a shrewd composer, eliminating that which he deems uneccessary, leaving room only for the wonder and exhilaration of the worlds he creates with his guitar.

The only downside to Smith's astute self-editing? The whole thing feels liek it's over far too soon. Put this one on repeat.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=381&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skullflower "Strange Keys to Untune God's Firmament" (2010, Neurot)

Genre: Noise, Experimental
Format:  CD, Vinyl

The most vile record vomited from the abyss of 2010 thus far. If you're familiar with Matthew Bower's recent Skullflower output, then you absolutely know what to expect here. Vicious guitar noise warfare that rends the flesh from your bones. This time, Bower has packed two discs just to double your terror. There are references here to the epic German poem Nibelungenlied, and  Wagner's "Das Rheingold" opera, but let's be honest-- it's really just placing a more elegant stamp across Bower's  harsh wall of noise.  And that wall is unrelenting.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=373&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Infinite Body Carve Out the Face of My God (2010, PPM)

Genre: Drone, Experimental
Format: Vinyl

I first learned of Kyle Parker's Infinite Body project last summer when I attended the Dan Deacon/ No Age/ Deerhunter show in Pittsburgh. As it turned out, the 10-15 minutes Infinite Body played were basically the only redeeming moments of the show. After dropping a quality LP last year, Infinite Body has quickly returned with a new album to kick off 2010 titled Carve Out the Face of My God.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=365&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mick Barr and his colleagues have returned a year later with another chunk of complex metal for us to chew on. By now, everyone who would care is familiar with these guys. Internet forums have been ablaze now for about a year with people arguing about their TRVENESS or KVLT status or any of the other nonsense the kids like to talk about.

Let's just cut straight to the facts. Clocking in at a whopping 77 minutes, this is not an album you can properly digest in one listen. Mick Barr is still utterly absurd on the guitar, engaging in all sorts of finger gymnastics as he furiously molests his fretboard and tremolo picks his way down the River Styx. Ken McMaster, the bassist, takes over some of the vocal duties, his bellowing voice standing in contrast to Barr's tortured yelps.

Dimensional Bleedthrough is similar to its predecessor, but also pushes the experimental aspects of Krallice even further. For every "typical" Krallice song like the title track, there's something different like the drone metal of "Intraum." The closer "Monolith of Possession" is an exhausting near 19-minute monster that combines everything interesting about Krallice into one movement. The ending of this song approaches noise in its overwhelming force.

Black metal --as much as I love it-- is a genre that produces a large number of ridiculous characters, and many of its followers are too hung up on dumb shit to really enjoy the core art form. Is Dimensional Bleedthrough black metal? Perhaps not in traditional sense, but who cares? It's a damn fine record regardless of what genre you want to toss it in.

Dimensional Bleedthrough is out now on Profound Lore.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=351&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It has been a bit of a wait, but new Converge finally arrived on my doorstep a few weeks ago.  Mr. Postman dropped off a nifty little package that contained the latest from the Massachusetts hardcore/metal/noise/whatever-the-fuck-else legends, Converge.  Even complete retards can bet their overflowing drool cups that "Axe to Fall" is some seriously mean shit.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=345&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bloody Panda / Summon (Profound Lore, 2009)

Bloody Panda is a band that has been ripping shit up for about a minute, so not too many people know about them. Rolling out of a secret New York underground sarcophagus constructed by the shadow government financed and founded by the Rockefellers in 1930, Bloody Panda's droning funeral doom is as black as midnight on a moonless night. Their second full-length album Summon  is out now on Southern, so you should go buy it.  Buy a copy for your friends, too.  It doesn't matter if they don't like metal. 

These are crushing death rattles from the caved-in chest of a goliath.  In desperation, blackened wings sprouting from the back of the shunned god, the straying feathers raining down plague and pestilence on man.  These grim waltzes drag unrelenting tension like ten tons of rock being hauled by a lone man with a rope tied to his waist.  Much like the 1980s New York electric death marchers Swans that precede them, Bloody Panda excels at crafting harrowing walls of low-end guitar destruction and evangelistic doomsaying.  The intensity never wavers even on songs like the 21-minute "Miserere," where the unconventional, possessed howls and shrieks from Yoshiko Ohara claw their way through macabre keyboards and foundation-shaking guitar chords.

Summon builds upon Bloody Panda's debut Pheromone, taking their ferocious-yet-somber doom expressions to even greater heights. The doom genre may be an increasingly crowded place these days, but Bloody Panda is in a tier of their own.  Highly recommended.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=340&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pulling Teeth "Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions" (2009, Deathwish Inc.)
This is quite a way to cleanse the palate after blogging about psych-drone for the better part of two weeks.  Although I haven't been digging a lot of the more recent offerings from Deathwish, I still have tons of love for the label and many of the bands that call it home.  Pulling Teeth is an interesting case.   I've always liked the band, but I've never really felt like they were reaching their potential-- until now.  On "Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions" Pulling Teeth puts all of the pieces together to become so much more than just another hardcore band with Slayer solos.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theoberlander.wordpress.com&amp;blog=798066&amp;post=330&amp;subd=theoberlander&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
