The first Hydrocephalus release, and probably my favorite.

Carcinomas of Unknown Primary Origin - Coxsaskievirus Infection
I can't lie, I totally thought the title of this release was a made up thing until I looked it up.
Monday, March 11, 2019
Not to be dramatic, but the end of an era is approaching. Regurgitated Stoma Stew releases were the main thing keeping this blog going for a long time, and I'm finally getting close to having posted all the stuff I own - a point that I kind of never thought I'd reach back in 2015. I haven't ordered from RSSP since 2016 if I remember correctly and at this point I'm not sure if I see that ever changing. See, gorenoise has always been kind of an on/off interest (or maybe more like obsession) for me, but in the past few months it's waned quite a bit in what feels like a permanent way. I've been into grind and noise for roughly the same amount of time, and sometime in the past few months noise finally took grind's place as my favorite thing like it had been threatening to do for a while. I'm trying to get the last of the RSSP stuff posted fairly quickly because in all honesty I'm ready to be done with it. Beyond that I have enough gore stuff from other labels for probably a few months of posts, but sooner or later I will be switching over to posting mostly noise. I've thought about starting a separate blog for noise stuff, but it seems kind of pointless and overcomplicated when I can barely maintain one blog. I know this will be disappointing for most, if not all of the people who visit this blog (I've noticed that my posts of noise releases tend to get less views) and I'm sorry.

Lace - Façade
"What is this mask for?
What is this portrayal of agony?
A self hatred that knows no bounds.
A ceaseless mania.
No longer withheld, no longer burdened by words.
Who are you when the lights recede?"
Industrial/power electronics from Weston Czerkies (Sunken Cheek, Prime Ruin) and V. Sinclair. Check Built to Blast for an in depth review. Get a copy from discogs. Every Prime Ruin release is beautiful, almost worth getting just for looking at the art.

Ulcerous Diseased s/t
Goregrind from Mexico, I think (there's virtually no information to be found online about the band, but Mexico is mentioned in the insert). It's fairly old school in style, nothing special but it's solid. And it has minimal samples, which I always appreciate.
I have no idea if this is still available so hit up Fermented Bile Vomit if you're interested. Also Rotten Death Core Mutilation put out a tape titled El Canibal with the same songs plus three extra in 2017, so you have options.

Sculpted From Flies - A Calm Before the Swarm
I was going to share this the other day but thought it would be appropriate to post this project's namesake first.
So when I first learned of Sculpted From Flies I assumed it was a Black Mold Phallanx worship project based on the name. It wasn't until much later that I found out not only was it a project from Jen Lazarus herself, Sculpted From Flies was intended to be a continuation of what she did with BMP. I have to be honest, with that in mind it's kind of disappointing for me. The weird industrial elements that made Black Mold Phallanx what it was are absent, leaving behind somewhat harsher than average gorenoise that sounds like it's on the verge of breaking down into full on harsh noise at times. My expectations aside, it's still good shit - better than what most fuckers in the scene are putting out.
This was released by Campaign for Musical Destruction in 2015 and is shockingly still available from the label (especially considering their blog says it's limited to 30) as well as a couple of different discogs sellers.

Black Mold Phallanx - Sculpted From Flies
I've been sitting on this way too long - Black Mold Phallanx's first demo. BMP often gets labeled as a cybergrind project, but that has never felt like the right description to me. Maybe I just have too narrow an idea of what cybergrind is though. Anyway, despite it being the first demo, the BMP sound is pretty much already fully formed here. The one thing I notice is that the vocals are more like typical goregrind gurgles and roars than the distinctive monstrous vocals that are present in later releases and in nearly all of Jen's projects. But the churning bass, industrial touches, and emphasis on interesting drum patterns are intact. I love Unsanitary Breeding Ground, but one thing this tape has over that one is greater cohesion. These tracks all feel like they were made for this release whereas Unsanitary Breeding Ground pulls some of its tracks from previous splits. Anyway, I could go on for paragraphs talking about this tape and Black Mold Phallanx in general but I'll leave off here.
The tracks from this can also be found on the comp of BMP's first two demos and first two splits that Newborn Porn Prodz put out a few years ago, although that tape probably isn't much easier to track down than the originals at this point.

Liquified Insides - Chopped Internal Organs
There's a shortage of Adam Rotella stuff here, which reflects an unfortunate shortage in my collection I guess. Adam's been doing this shit longer than just about anyone and this tape shows that he's still one of the best. This time he's joined by Josh Dahne on drums (I've definitely seen that dude's name around before but couldn't say what other projects he's been involved with). The inclusion of real drums further strengthens the already prominent noisecore influence that Adam's gorenoise projects usually have. Not much more to say about this one. Ten minutes of true filth.
I think Hair On My Food Tapes is the only place you can still get this tape. It's sold out from Syrup Head. I haven't really kept track of Adam Rotella in the last few years so I couldn't say if he's still active with Liquified Insides, or what projects he's active with in general. It seems like he's pretty inconsistent about keeping in contact with people and fulfilling orders.

Jason Crumer & DJ EOF - Absolute Class War
This has been out since mid-2017 so I'm pretty surprised it doesn't seem to be posted anywhere. I hadn't previously listened to either of the artists on this collab (and I really should be familiar with Jason Crumer at least considering that he's a major figure in US harsh noise - though in my defense I'm really more about power electronics and death industrial than straight HN). So it's hard to say exactly how like or different from either one's other material this is, but I think I can pinpoint what each individual contributed here. It has some moments that sound more harsh noise and others that sound more like something else (I don't know enough about non-noise electronic music to say what exactly), and while it definitely doesn't sound like a traditional harsh noise track, it does have a harsh edge throughout. The description that keeps coming to mind for me is malfunctioning dance music. It doesn't strike me as amazing or anything, but it's interesting and a decent way to spend 24 minutes every so often.

Last Days of Patriarchy - Smash the Patriarchy / Rage
Last Days of Patriarchy is an old project by two names you may or may not recognize, Per Palmqvist (Thanatopsis, Lymphoma, Shitfaced) and Sonny (Amoebe, Sexchange, 9922). I think Per is a bit more known, but Sonny's involvement was what captured my interest. Amoebe is an old favorite of mine.
The two sessions on this tape were recorded in 2010 and 2011 but never got released as far as I know until Septic Aroma of Reeking Stench put this out in 2016. Sonny does vocals on both sides and guitar on Rage, Per does drums on both and guitar on Smash the Patriarchy. There's really not much difference in sound between the two sides though. Putrefaction in Progress is obviously the biggest point of reference here, just with more of a gorenoise/noisecore edge due the the more lo-fi production and less powerful drumming. It's good, just nothing you need to go out of your way to acquire unless you're a big fan of Sonny or Per or LDOH worship projects. If you do need it though this tape is sold out from SAORS but I think a few European distros might still have copies.

Oozing Meat - Contaminated
I like noisecore just fine but it's not a genre where I tend to actively seek out new things to listen to very often. So I didn't bother to check out Oozing Meat until I started hearing good things about this tape from people whose opinions I value. I'm realizing now that it was a mistake to not listen to them sooner because this is excellent. It's like they took the Deche-Charge template and added passages of harsh noise, weird vocal effects, and a few parts where it straight up sounds like the tape is being eaten. Noisecore done right, I shouldn't have expected anything less from a member of Suppression.
You can a bunch more Oozing Meat releases on the CNP Bandcamp.
This was released almost exactly a year ago by Dead Gods, a newish record store/label that has already put out a lot of cool noise stuff. You can still get this and other Dead Gods tapes from Analog Worship and American Damage (another great new label, incidentally), as well as a couple of discogs sellers.
