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.
