From Musique Machine:

Foul – The Mark Inside
‘The Mark Inside” is the first full length release from J.Cadle’s new HNW project Foul- in the past Cadle went under the name of White Torture & is still in …Massacre(with Sam Stoxen of Baculum & runner of Phage Tapes) & Oasis Of Fear(with Richard Ramirez). This is also the opening release on Mr Cadle’s new label Bane records.

Thirteen Fingers – Void
‘Void’ offers up two half an hour slices of extremely loud, completely engulfing and nasty sounding Harsh Wall noise from Portland based project Thirteen Fingers. This is a seriously heavy duty sonic searing & brain cooking in two(not so)easy & violent steps.

Death In June – Symbols And Clouds – Euro Cross Commemorative Edit
“Symbols And Clouds – Euro Cross Commemorative Edition” brings together the best of two classic mid 1990s Death In June albums with tracks from ‘92s “But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?” and ‘95s “Rose Clouds Of Holocaust”. It also offers up a second disc of stripped-down acoustic versions of the same tracks recorded in 2005 after Death In June’s last tour.

Flesh Coffin – Headcase
Junk metal lined harsh noise has become quite popular of late with quite a few new acts forming purely to play this form of noise(most notable & rewarding of theses being Grain Belt). Headcase sees prolific Norwegian noise-head Andreas Brandal (Hour Of the Wolf, Drevne Bolesti, solo work, ect) under his Flesh Coffin banner taking on the Junk Metal baton to make a wonderfully focused, textural varied & macabre atmosphere lined, yet very violent noise album.

Bruce Gilbert – Oblivio Agitatum
Coincidence has it that just as I come round to reviewing Bruce Gilbert’s( Wire‘s Guitarist) Oblivio Agitatum, I’ve just been revisiting (and hugely enjoying) Wire material in the two weeks before – or rather, I’ve been spinning their debut album Pink Flag on end. For some reason, I’ve never really bothered to seek out most of the rest of Wire’s immense discography or their member’s solo efforts. I picked up Chairs Missing a few years back after having discovered and grown to love the aforementioned Pink Flag, but, amazingly, it bored me out of my seat, and so, I stuck to Pink Flag, and, truth be told, it has served me well these last few years, and I haven’t tired of it a single bit.
