Nuit Noire - (2010) Delirant Fantaesy 7''

Three songs in the typical NN tradition of playing black metal informed pop-punk with a perfect sincere rawness. These songs fit in nicely with any later NN material and possess the same catchiness that Tenebras has been known to imbue his songs with.
Nuit Noire's message has always been naive, but by way of sheer stubbornness and purity of vision has become a very challenging group in the world of black metal. It definitely lacks many 'black' qualities but wears others so boldly that not many bands can be considered as honest in presenting youthful romanticism. NN is always polarizing but never fails in creating a guitar tone that seems to reach beyond this plane to the next. Typical release: xerox covers, insert, and all black vinyl limited to 200 copies.

Fäerical blasting punk. Less a genre, more an abstract impression of Nuit Noire: Blasting punk – an inimitable mixture of intense drumming and beautifully singular guitars. Natural, unrestrained, atypical vocals sing out in admiration of those Night creatures that light the darkness, aided only by moonlight shadows cast in the forest, hidden from all humanity.

White Medal - (2008) ST 7''

This vinyl EP was the first release from Yorkshire-based black metal band White Medal.
Side A contains ‘Chance’ (subtitled ‘Rebirth’) , which opens with a soft melodic guitar and bass intro, which is rapidly obliterated by blasting, ferocious riffing, hyper-distorted and compressed to the point where the drums are a muffled thudding, overlaid with a frenzied blur of guitar, and vicious screamed vocals melding with ambient keyboard drones into a whipping vortex of oblivion. There’s a melodic subtext just about barely discernible here, but you need to be listening out for it. To some extent, I was reminded of the English band Instinct, who deploy a similar blend of aggression and melody, but White Medal’s most obvious affinity is to black metal primitivists like Ildjarn, Beherit, Svartpest and Bone Awl.
Side B is ‘Northern Mist’ (subtitled ‘Raven's Dusk’), with a harsh cawing of ravens heard above the buzzsaw guitar at the outset, before the song develops into a similar entropic surge as ‘Chance’, with the vocals a shredded howl and the drums thoroughly buried, although there seems to be a metronome or click track audible at points. A couple of times, there’s a melodic hiatus before the riff surges back in like a riptide.

Man Is The Bastard - (1993) Abundance Of Guns 7''

In stark contrast to other punk musicians, MITB made the move of displacing the electric guitar from its long reign as the primary instrument of punk aggression. In turn, they made room within their revolutionary spirit for progressive bass chords and scales, for industrial noise (field recordings and power electronics), and for member Henry Barnes’ “Amps for Christ” and homemade guitar reconfigurations.

Ultra Violet Eye - (1992) Hardcore Haight EP 7''

Bad in so many ways but kinda catchy, poppy and good in other ways. First song reminds me of Ugly Kid Joe. Track two kind of Echo & The Bunnymen if they were 90's grungy. Track three is a field recording at what I assume is the band talking to a bar owner in a Spicoli way. Fourth track also references some famous song I'm unaware of but have heard. Fifth song reminds me of Barnes & Barnes (Fish Head's song fame) mixed with Frank Zappa. Sixth being some weird hair metal/ goth band from the 90's type song. I dunno, it's just so strange.

The League Of Gentlemen & Robert Fripp - (1981) Split 7''

The League Of Gentlemen was a late-1970s band featuring guitarist Robert Fripp. Other members included bass guitarist Sara Lee (who later joined Gang of Four), keyboardist Barry Andrews (formerly of XTC; later of Shriekback) and drummer Johnny Toobad.

Grunt & Hermit - (1997) Split 7''

Grunt was formed in Finland during spring 1993 to create hard audio havoc. Its early incarnations operated with few other names, before settling into Grunt and making the first officially published works. After 20 years of activity, it is still going strong. Various styles of noise electronics are always hammered with such pressure it usually transforms into known Grunt-noise, even if new methods and approaches are added. Various interests, moods and approaches and different kinds of topics has been used during the years. Strong visuals and lyrics are the most well known to people.

Andrew Coltrane & Luke Holland - (2014) Fire Musick CS

Good old fashioned noise is what ANDREW COLTRANE (aka MINKSHROUD) and LUKE HOLLAND (aka MSHING) have to offer you. Noisy, dirty, electronics, but not without a slight rhythmical aspect to the proceedings, that forceful machine drive found in the earliest ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO work.
