album cover TENHORNEDBEAST / MARZURAAN split (Aurora Borealis) cd 8.00
**SALE **SALE* *SALE**
Every once in a while, someone will release a record, and we can't help but feel like it was made specifically for us. And for you. Some records just perfectly speak to the aQ aesthetic, as undefinable as that seems to be. This is another one of those cases. Someone thought it would be a perfect combination to match up UK one man ambient drone outfit Tenhornedbeast, with UK slow motion doomlords Marzuraan. And it is perfect. And a fantastic idea, but just because something is a great idea, doesn't always mean someone thinks of it. And we're not saying we had been thinking someone should get these two bands together specifically, we're just glad they did, and we sort of wish we HAD thought of it. But that's neither here nor there. The important thing is that it happened, and now we can all luxuriate in the deep dark heaviness both of these bands explore. And while the bands are indeed different, their aesthetics are not all that far removed. The both exist in some blackened nether region, haunting sonic realms, where heaviness can be expressed in both utter darkness and extreme force, sometimes both, and once in awhile neither.
Tenhornedbeast offer up a nearly 30 minute long sonic ritual, beginning as a bit of swirling black minimalism, but slowly building to a truly intense wall of doomdrone, the sound thick and textured, a churning cauldron of low end buzz and downtuned disembodied riffs, all brought to a boil and poured out in a viscous black torrent, left to flow like some subterranean river. But these deep drones are laced with melodies, and keening high end shards, allowed to shine forth occasionally, but often swallowed up before they can fill those caves with their unnatural light. The track continually changes shape, sound and timbre, various shades of grey and black, lightening and darkening as the landscape changes, a haunting journey through some lost world, where sound replaces sight, allowing us to navigate ever deeper.
Marzuraan counter with what must be one of their prettiest tracks ever. It's still sludgey and doomy, but the notes ring out, the melodies almost soar, the sound fuzzy and glimmering, almost like these guys have caught the shoegaze bug as well. Washed out and blissy, super melodic and melancholy, but the coolest part is that the track seems to warble and waver, almost like someone is manually adjusting the tape speed, so the notes sound drunken and drugged, the track lurches and weaves drunkenly, only adding to the haunting and off kilter beauty. Part way through, the riffs get a little more riffy, and then the vocals come in, a moaning distant croon, and we're most definitely in serious Jesu territory, but that weird speed shifting hitch, keeps it from sounding too pretty, or two blissy. But if these guys keep heading in this direction, they could definitely give Jesu, and Nadja and other metallic shoegazers a run for their money.
The packaging is super swank, a three panel gatefold, each of the front panels diecut with each band's symbol, printed inside and out, housed in a thick plastic sleeve with a sticker affixed to the front.

album cover TENNESSEE TWIN Free To Do What (Mint) cd 14.98
If there's one thing you can count on with those Wolfe identical twins (Alison from those grrrrrls Bratmobile and Cindy from this much more southern twangy band you're reading about right this very moment), it's that if they've got something on their minds they're gonna tell you so. There's no beating around the bush, but they'll always do it in plucky, peppery tunefulness. If you were paying close attention about a dozen AQ Lists ago, you might have caught a glimpse of the introductory Tennessee Twin 7" (check on our site if you missed it), but now's the time for the full-on, porchswing, Grand Ol' Opry gathering. Ms Wolfe's blue gingham country-style quilts together some fiddle, mandolin, accordion and pedal steel with lilting vocal harmonies fresh and fair and sweet as pie, but her words are the element which brings a bit of weight to the proceedings. She's backed by her pals Kurt Dahle, John Collins and Todd Fancey of the New Pornographers. Includes a loving cover of Dolly Parton's "Wildflowers".

TENNESSEE TWIN These Thoughts Are Occupied (Mint) 7" 3.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
From the label that brought us Neko Case, the Corn Sisters, and the New Pornographers, it's time for a little Tennessee Twin! Legend has it that following the break-up of Allison Wolfe's band Bratmobile, Allison and her twin sister (and puppeteer extraordinaire) Cindy Wolfe had planned on collaborating forces on an old-country outfit in Olympia, WA. Well, as you may know Bratmobile recently reformed and scooped Allison away back onto the open road of girl punk action, so Cindy decided to go it alone. Still keeping the Tennessee Twin name (perhaps to keep the door open to Allison), Cindy - now based in Vancouver, BC (after getting hitched to New Pornographer Carl Newman) - corralled a bunch of her pals (including the NPs' drummer Kurt Dahle on bass and backing vocals) for a frolicking jamboree. Cindy with her sweet-honeyed drawl and flirty mandolin takes the lead and is backed by some rough'n'tumble accordion, fiddle, pedal steel, and a chorus of backing vocals. A barrel of fun packed into two songs, the Grand Ol' Opry-ready "These Thoughts Are Occupied" and inquisitive "Oh Darkness". Sleeve features photos by Corn Sister Carolyn Mark.

album cover TENNIS Cape Dory (Fat Possum) cd 14.98
Hot damn! The amazing girl group inspired sounds just keep on coming, and Tennis are serving them up in such an irresistible fashion. We knew very little about this Colorado husband/wife outfit before Cape Dory came our way, but once it hit our ears we jumped aboard their timeless yet fresh approach to bringing rich harmony and hooks into driving, melodic songs that are so so catchy. Alaina Moore's vocals are truly the driving force that makes Tennis rise to the top of the recent wave of like-minded bands, her voice is beyond warm, seductive and engaging. If you've been swept up by groups like Best Coast, Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls, Aias, and Girls At Dawn, we promise you'll find Tennis to be your next fix. We are so addicted, and have a feeling we are going to be playing Tennis all year long!
PS. we were tempted to go even more overboard with the tennis cliches, but we still say this is one ace of a record!

TENNIS Europe On Horseback (Bip-Hop) cd 15.98
Tennis is the collective nom de plume for British electronica artists Ben Edwards and Douglas Benford, who are respectively known better as Benge and Si-Cut.Db. At first, their collaboration sounds like a mutation of the utopian neo-dub of Pole and Kit Clayton, in which all of the grooves have been shredded into jagged patterns, and reassemled into disjointed filter techno rhythms. However with a outfit name like Tennis, the inevitable Ping Pong 8-bit rhythmic bleeps had to get going, with some bleepy dub elements relating it to the Pole / Clayton continuum. Just imagine two Kraftwerk dummies swivelling at the waist and smacking a tiny ball back and forth. Unlike the majority of the Force Inc / Mille Plateaux, Tennis retains a welcome sense of humor while rivalling their German counterparts in post techno innovation.

album cover TENNISCOATS Live Wanderus (Chapter Music) cd 17.98
We remember first getting a glimpse of the sweet charm of Japan's Tenniscoats a year or so ago when we heard their track on the children's comp Songs For Nao. We had only been able to get a copy or two of Live Wanderus, never enough to list until now. Before we had even heard the record, the dreamy cover art had us super curious as to what we might find inside.
We ended up loving Tenniscoats' take on naive pop. A LOT. A little more dreamy and meandering than some of their sonic brethren like Maher Shal Hash Baz and Nagisa Ni Ti, Saya's sweet hushed vocals and tasteful trumpets and sax, guitar, drums and piano help to create a nice dreamlike atmosphere, a perfect serving of daydream twee. These are live recordings from shows throughout Japan over the last few years, and the recordings sound great, nice and warm, like you were right there in the room while they were playing, sitting on a blanket in the dark with your head on the shoulder of a good friend. So nice!

album cover TENNISCOATS Tan-Tan Therapy (Hapna) cd 16.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
We loooooooooove the spare and wistful dream pop of Tenniscoats (See, we can put as just as many "o's" in "love" as we do in 'doom'.). Although we must admit, it took us awhile to really get into Tan-Tan Therapy as this time around they collaborated with Swedish band Tape along with other Swedish musicians, resulting in a much broader and much more lush production but also with an even more somber and melancholy feel. The chamber pop instrumentation of horns, woodwinds, organ, cello, zither and glockenspiels along with some subtle electronic flourishes definitely provides richer textures, but we were kind of missing at first Saya and Takashi Ueno's more spare and naive side that comes closer to their Maher Shalal Hash Baz roots. But this release is definitely a grower, and one with each new listen we are loving it more and more.

TENOR, JIMI Cosmic Relief (Sahko) cd ep 8.98
This bespectacled Finnish eccentric continues his journey into the darker corners of exotica lounge-land... often coming across as an accomplished, cocktail hour Joy Division. Sort of like a soundtrack to the dark'n'swirlies you get after one too many flaming fruity hi-balls. A great wind-down album after you've boogied the night away to the strains of the Moroder cd we've also listed this week.

TENOR, JIMI Out Of Nowhere (Matador) cd 13.98
This record was quite a surprise. None of us had any really strong feelings about Jimi Tenor, other than knowing we really didn't care for his weird brand of loungey exotic electronica. And while that sound is still evident, it is balanced by some amazing pieces written for and performed with a 60 piece Polish orchestra. Dark and brooding and surprisingly original, sort of like an extra dark Hitchcock soundtrack; makes the loungey stuff make more sense in the context of the record, as a sort of foil, light balancing the dark. Really great.

Also, the sticker on the front points out that the players on this record got their inspiration from eating the same cabbage and sausage meal every day!

album cover TENOR, JIMI Utopian Dream (Puu / Sahko) cd 16.98
More trippy dippy lounge-a-tronic from Finland. Yes, Mr. Oddball Jimi Tenor is back as we knew he'd be. In his "Utopian Dream" he draws from the past... his own. He borrows bits from both of his earlier albums "Intervision" (1997) and "Out Of Nowhere" (2000). Some tracks made me think "intriguing, moody electronic soundtrack" or "sleek'n'icy chill room", while others made me think "easy listenin' muzak" and still others brought to mind "doofy scat-singin' flute-tootin' jazz bub". Weigh it all out and you've definitely got some impressive hits here, but also a handful of misses (some of which are cringeable), but that's usually the case and the charm with Mr. Tenor. He's a dabbler in many styles and he does so without hesitation and usually very well. Please note: included on this album are all four songs from his "Cosmic Relief" EP released earlier this year.

album cover TENOR, JIMI AND KABU KABU Joystone (Ubiquity) cd 16.98
Is this a soundtrack for a porno film? Jimi Tenor and his funk lounge rhythm section Kabu Kabu are certainly laying it on hot and heavy on this new outing on nu-soul label Ubiquity. We've been entertained in the past by Tenor's eccentricies whether they be working with a drunk Polish orchestra or channeling Prince via his own Finnish techno-cabaret style musings. Not sure what people will think with this one. While the rhythm section is tight, with some full on seventies blaxsploitation "schwing", Tenor's creepy lothario persona can either make folks swoon or cringe. You decide.

album cover TENORES DI BITTI Caminos de Pache (Felmay) cd 25.00
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Polyphonic vocal blasts in the long-standing tradition of Central Sardinia. The four singers in the Italian quartet Tenores Di Bitti take you away with their dead on acapella, singing in one of the oldest musical traditions from the Mediterranean. Much like recent AQ faves Konono No.1, this is an ensemble that has been making totally unique and striking sounds for the last three decades but it hasn't been until recently that they've been getting more notice here in the states. Collaborations with Ornette Coleman and Lester Bowie (Art Ensemble of Chicago) have helped gain them attention in this part of the globe. Each song finds one of the vocalists on lead while the other three back him up with rhythmic pronunciation of syllables. Guttural and primitive in its history and delivery, these are songs that tell the story of the solitude of shepherds and their tie to nature. This new release was recently in rotation at KUSF where the phone lines would ring almost every time it was played. The kind of record that could bridge the gab between opera fans and experimental music zealots, that sounds like nothing you have heard before, cantorial vocal delivery that will puzzle and please you at the same time.

album cover TEOTIHUCAN (SKATERS) Music For The Desert Temples Of Extraterrestrial Light (self-released) cassette 9.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
We might as well mention right up front, we only got 19 copies of this, so be prepared to leave empty handed. But if you are one of the lucky 19, you'll get the chance to fill your ears with that sweetly shimmery Skatery mumbled murky sonic gurgle. Which of course makes perfect sense since Teotihucan is the work of one half of Bay Area noisemakers the Skaters. This super limited tape, recorded "In Tijuana mexico and the desert outskirts of El Cajon California October-December 2004", is an expansive world of lo fi drones blurred into fuzzy slabs of indistinct melody, peppered with twinkling sonic sparkles and squeaking creaking feedback, buried loops of hypnotic disembodied vocals and strange instrumental smudges, all under layer after layer of buzz and rumble and hiss, then all washed out, like a chalk painting on the sidewalk after a rainstorm, a barely there swirl of soft focus color and blurry whirls of faint melody, a big beautiful colorful smear of sound.
Packaged in super janky, beat up, dirty and old-price-tagged thrift store answering machine style cassettes, which leads us to a brief aside: While we totally support and celebrate DIY artists -- as seen/heard on the plethora of homespun cassettes and cd-rs we have in stock and that we seek out from all over the world -- we also heartily encourage said artists putting the same effort they put into music making into the presentation, the art and the packaging. Sure photocopied covers, recycled vintage record sleeves, handwritten liner notes are all parts of the aesthetic, but could you at least clean the old price tags and label adhesive off of your taped-over thrift store tapes and their cases before releasing them to your audience? C'mon, a little lighter fluid goes a long way towards makin' something look like it wasn't just dredged up from the bottom of a dumpster. Your art and your audience deserve it.

TERAUCHI, TAKESHI Nippon Guitars (Big Beat International) lp 24.00

album cover TERAUCHI, TAKESHI Nippon Guitars: Instrumental Surf, Eleki, & Tsugaru Rock 1966-1974 (Big Beat) cd 16.98
This ain't that new of a release - it came out in 2011 - but we hadn't yet reviewed it, and when we got some copies back in the other day, wondered, why the heck not? Haven't been able to stop listening to it lately, it's so dang electrifying and infectious. What we have here is a killer collection some of the best tracks recorded by one Takeshi Terauchi, who in the mid-'60s was known as Japan's "King Of The Electric Guitar". In fact, he may still be.
We all know what instrumental surf music guitar sounds like, give it a Japanese twist and you have "Eleki" (what they called electric guitar music). The "Tsugaru" of the subtitle refers to traditional Japanese folk songs, which were also adapted to the '60s rock n' roll invasion. Badass guitarist Terauchi was a pioneer of the Eleki craze, building his own gear, playing to crowds of screaming young girls with his bands The Blue Jeans and The Bunnys. So just imagine a Japanese version of Link Wray and/or Dick Dale, all exciting, exotic surf twang and groovy fuzz. There's some achingly romantic, folk based melodic moments, and we like that, but the best parts are when Terauchi is ripping it up on his fretboard to surfy, psychedelic excess!
FYI, they fit 25 tracks on the cd, and 14 on the vinyl.

album cover TERJE, JESPER & JOACHIM s/t (Shadoks Music) cd 15.98
Got some "early heavy" freakdom for here for ya, Shadoks digging up and reissuing this 1970 album by a bluesy acid rock power trio from Denmark. If you're familiar with some other Danish heavy psych bands like Moses and Blues Addicts, these guys are in that grungy ballpark, all appearing on the same label originally. There's some stormin' tracks here all right, with plenty of Iommi-ish guitar moments, topped by some quite unhinged, strangled-sounding vocals in English. Not sure if we'd call this proto-metal or not, the fuzzy guitars are loud and wild enough, with some urgent riffing, but really it's more like a mix of raw garage punk with some more mellowed out hippie stuff too, definitely very much of its time and ultimately quite charming in a ramshackle way.
This reissue's cd booklet includes cool old photos and show fliers, plus new liner notes by bassist/vocalist Joachim Ussing wherein he recalls the three days of extremely stoned recording sessions that produced this album, as well as the story of how in 1968 the band made it to the finals of a national pop group contest, in which in response to the "nice pop covers" played by their competitors, they instead unleashed a 15 minute psychedelic improv freakout on live radio. No, they didn't win...

album cover TERJE, TODD Remaster of The Universe (Permanent Vacation) 2cd 22.00
Hands down the best mix collection we've heard in ages. Something about those Norwegians, damn do they know their way around space disco. We've already loved what we've heard by folks like Lindstrom and Prins Thomas, but Todd Terje's ability to create seamless mixes and imaginative edits and remixes has made him one of our favorites from that fertile scene. Remaster Of The Universe finally gives a nice big document to the amazing work Terje has been doing over the last few years. The first disc is his continuous mix of tracks by folks like Chaz Jankel, Gichy Dan, M, Jose Gonzales, etc. while the second disc is a collection of individual remixes and versions he's created for some of the same folks on the first disc as well as Antena, Lindstrom, Studio, Shit Robot, and more.
Terje really is a master at creating mixes that roll with such a shimmering vibration. He's able to respect the original tracks he uses yet totally infuse them with a new energy and a signature sound that is unmistakably his own. We like how that as seamless and smooth as he can be he's also not afraid to get really weird and left-of-center in his approach and song selection. Crossing eras and genres like the best kind of DJ's can, Terje has got us all moving and gliding to these dancefloor gems.

TERMINAL SOUND SYSTEM Compressor (Extreme) cd 14.98

album cover TERMINAL SOUND SYSTEM Constructing Towers (Extreme) cd 14.98
When we reviewed Halo's seminal Guattari (From the West Flows Grey Ash and Pestilence) album, we described them as "one of the heaviest, creepiest, most intense bands we have heard", we went on to compare them to Godflesh and Neurosis and Earth and Whitehouse and Cop Shoot Cop and Gore and Noisegate, holy shit, just writing that has us wanting to hear Halo again...
Anyway, it's been at least 5 years since we've heard a peep out of Halo, but even back in the day, one of the Halo guys had a side project called Terminal Sound System, which at the time ditched the crushing industrial metallic pummel of Halo in favor of creepy dark ambience and skittery electronica. Well since then, it seems that Terminal Sound System has developed into a full time concern, and in the process TSS's sound has soaked up all kinds of electronic music along the way, from jungle to dubstep, while remaining creepy and heavy and super intense, and we are digging it big time.
The record begins with some creepy pulsing ambience, the drums an almost jazzy skitter, until 'the drop', where the background sounds grow jagged and harsh, the drums exploding in a squall of rhythmic freakout, before it immediately simmers right back down. It almost sounds like a junglized Necks, long stretches of smokey dark shimmer, peppered with blown out blasts of grinding metallic dubstep rhythms and thick buzzing drones. But then the song shifts gears, and the drums pull way back, returning to their muted skitter, while over the top, Young Gods like guitar loops add a sort of carnivalesque prog element to the proceedings, growing ever more dramatic and tense, exploding in an incredible climax of massive rumbling bass, like some sort of doom dubstep. Fuck, I know we say this all the time, but that track alone is worth the price of admission.
But moving forward, the title track, is a brooding chunk of old school tech-step jungle, with plenty of blackened droney ambience hovering beneath the still sort of jazzy programmed drum and bass stutter. "Year Of The Pig" is another fractured take on dubstep, the drums, chopped and hiccuppy, heavy with FX, careening from space-y shuffle to dense staccato pound, while all around the beat swirls minor key piano stabs, swooshing spaced out effects, shards of metallic buzz, the whole track freezing occasionally and locking into a super jagged stop start stutter. Again, somehow the sound is a bit jazzy, but so heavy and dark and aggressive...
The rest of the record is all over the place, from subtly industrial post rock, complete with chiming guitars hook filled melodies, and strange effected vocals, sounding almost like a Jesu / Nadja sort of thing, to dark shimmery black ambience laced with super low bass buzz, and haunting minor key swells, to Eastern Muslimgauze style electronic drifts, to what can only be described as a sort of fractured dubstepped cabaret jazz, to fuzzy gauzy, reverb drenched Portishead-ish downtempo shimmer, to epic, ethereal blissed out post rock electronic drone, like Jesu meets Godspeed meets Asbestoscape, which is how the record finishes up.
Seriously fucking awesome. Has us wanting to hear more Terminal Sound System, and has us hankering to go back and revisit Halo as well...

Indie cult flick fans, here's something to celebrate! It's the dvd release of Jon Moritsugu's wild'n'weird underground classic Terminal USA! Yep, his 1993 twisted, gritty ode to a most unconventional Asian American family has finally followed the slow but steady dvd birthings of his more recent films Scum Rock, Fame Whore, and Mod Fuck Explosion. What's possibly most bizarre about the film itself is that its creation was actually commissioned by PBS (yes, that meant a serious production budget for the usually shoestring Moritsugu!), was broadcast across the land in 1994-1995, and was screened at film fests around the globe. That and the film itself might not seem all that strange by today's standards, but need we say, it was a whole different world in the early '90s. This probably caused convulsions and conniptions in many unexpecting viewers. Totally raw, gnarly, and punk-as-fuck on PBS! Yow, keep your eyes peeled for appearances by Neil Hamburger and a bleach blonde haired Moritsugu! This dvd features the original cut as well as Moritsugu's director's cut which includes 14 additional minutes.

We've always loved the Terminals, one of the originators of the NZ sound that once was the specialty around aQuarius. Their early nineties albums were so fantastic, moody and dramatic, epic and dark, lo-fi, but sprawling and expansive. It's been a while since we revisited these guys, and this, their 3rd album, from 1995 just got reissued so we've been immersing ourselves once again, and holy shit does this stuff still sound fantastic. Wild buzzing distorted guitars, thick synths, dense driving drumming, but it's the vocals that seal the deal. We had sort of forgotten how over the top and dramatic they were. Like a punk rock, lo fi, rougher rawer Antony maybe? It's a wonder, without it, the music is swirling and chaotic, a sort of dark gothic pop, intense and emotional, slipping from woozy laid back drift to frenetic almost psychedelic freakout, but then mix in those vocals, and we're talking some nineties noise rock cabaret, some Antony, a little Michael Gira, a bit of Nick Cave, some hints of Paul Banks from Interpol, heck, listening to this again, we realize a whole bunch of new bands who have been mining the goth pop and new wave past owe a LOT to these guys, even if they don't realize it. Driving, moody, intense, infusing their more straightforward dour pop with the noise rock of their NZ brethren, creating a charged hybrid that smolders intensely, even at it's most minimal and mysterious, but which becomes evident when the band lets loose and explodes into freaked out blasts of grinding guitar and splattery drum chaos, only to reel it right back in and slip back into some brooding jangle or lurching clanging doom pop dirge.
Includes two bonus tracks and liner notes from aQ customer and pal Jon Dale!

album cover TERMINATOR 2 s/t (Handmade Birds) cassette 9.98
We didn't know anything about this band, until we heard Handmade Birds was gonna put out a tape, and then sorta randomly the band showed up at aQ with tapes, and having known nothing about the band, we probably would have ordered a bunch anyway, since A. They're on Handmade Birds. And B. They're called Terminator 2, which is either the most genius name for a band, or the dumbest. Maybe both! And finally C. The packaging is CRAZY, a cool color tape in a full color J-card featuring what looks like a Bosch painting, the whole thing wrapped in a black oversized slipcover, with both the name of the band and the label lazer cut, the slipcover oversized so that on one side a little scroll could be inserted, the tiny scroll featuring lyrics and liner notes. Wow. Thankfully, the music inside, more than lived up to the promise of A,B and C! A duo we think, noise guys from what we could figure out, from Denton Texas, and they kick up a pretty sick skree, all low slung bass buzz, jagged blown out guitars, swirls and squalls of analog synth, huge bashing drum damage, the drums mic'ed super hot, so they peg the meters with every hit, the sound slipping from murky, detuned churn, to grinding metallic doom drenched bombast, to super stripped down post rock lope, beyond the main instrumentation of bass and drums (and maybe guitar), there's a lot of other noise going on, even the most minimal stretches, are barraged on all sides by blasts of buzz, and weird sci-fi squiggles of FX, all sorts of textures and treatments, but at it's core, the sound here is pure minimal slo-mo black-doom crush, and when the vocals do come in, it's a throat shredding yowl, giving the sound a vibe somewhere between epic Neurosis-y doom, super lo-fi sludge metal creep, and blown out ultra distorted noise rock. We're definitely hearing Harvey Milk, Thrones, Prizehog, recent aQ faves [[[Altar-Thron]]], and other like minded purveyors of bellowing, lurching, doomy noise rock sludge. Cool!
As mentioned above, super insane packaging AND OF COURSE EXTREMELY LIMITED!!!

TERRA FIRMA Harms Way (Steamhammer) cd 16.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Sophomore album from these Swedish stoner rock/doom metal practicioners. As with their debut, this is heavy, groovy, psychedelic stuff that owes the usual big debt to the Masters Black Sabbath. Vocalist Lord Christus (ex-Count Raven and St. Vitus!) has the Ozzy-vox down cold, and his band sweats out a suitable bottom-heavy riff-oriented accompaniment to his wailings. Good stuff! For fans of the stoner/doom genre (and what they used to call grunge)!

As the vocalist says like two seconds into the first song, in his best Ozzy-ish drawl, and amid a swirl of distorted guitar, "Whooaaa! Let's go!" What you get here is some quality stoner metal from Sweden, featuring some guitarist guy from death metallers Unleashed (whatever) and vocalist Lord Chritus (formerly of both Count Raven and Saint Vitus)...Fans of the similarly Sabbath-y band sHeavy and other bands on the groovier side of the stoner rock spectrum (Kyuss, Orange Goblin, Roachpowder, Monster Magnet), grab this.

album cover TERROR DANJAH Dark Crawler (Hyperdub) cd 22.00
Been a while since we've heard from Terror Danjah, whose past releases have been HUGE faves around here. As the world of dubstep moves further and further toward the dreamy and pastoral, the minimal and blissed out, and grime seems to have disappeared completely, we sometimes find ourselves missing the massive rib cage rattling basslines, the pounding big beat pummel, the crazy grimy flows, and the grim sinister dark edges sonics that seemed to define that sound in the early days. Thankfully, in Terror Danjah's warped soundworld, very little has changed, the beats still stutter and pound, MC's still toast wildly over rambunctious beats, and most importantly, things are dark, and scary, ominous and freaky. After a killer near symphonic cinematic intro, rife with killer chaotic programmed beats, in comes "Mirror's Edge", which starts out like some twisted seventies horror flick, all ominous pianos, wistful vocals, everything wreathed in static and record crackle, until BLAM, the beat drops, the bass too, thick and squelchy, that churning dubstep groove fused to the weird dark grimnity of that soundtracky opening, the whole thing fractured, funky, fucked up and seriously dark. The track laced with a sinister laugh that pops up on most every track here. And speaking of recurring sounds, the "Dark Crawler" track pops up constantly, as a sort of interlude, but featuring some seriously bad ass toasting from all sorts of killer MC's, hell if this record was just multiple version of this one song we'd be perfectly happy, but those "Dark Crawler"'s, are bookended by some seriously dizzying dubstep workouts, warped bass heavy electro jams, and psychedelic breakbeat driven groovers, the bass throughout super thick and ultra distorted, the beats dense and complex, that creepy laugh, it's almost as if this is some sort of alternate universe soundtrack, to the sort of fucked up horror movie / dubstep musical that we wish existed, so goddamn good. And for some of us, this might be THEE electronic record of the year!

album cover TERROR DANJAH Power Grid (Planet Mu) cd ep 14.98
Once again, Planet Mu steps up to the plate, to single handedly provide us with our grime/dubstep fix, this time in the form of Power Grid, a brand new ep of avant abstract griminess from mysterious producer Terror Danjah, who mixes classic rave sounds and playful melodies, with blown out buzzy bass warble, warped stuttery beats, clipped vocal snippets, spaced out FX, fuzzy squelchy synths, into something simultaneously cosmic, groovy, melodic, yet rough and gruff and a little bit aggressive.
"Space Traveller" is all synth and minimal, sounding a bit like Ital Tek or Zomby, but then "Menace" swoops in, sounding, well, menacing, with a woozy atmosphere, swirling melodies, dramatic strings and orchestral stabs, all sent skittering, maybe one of our favorite electronic jams in recent memory.
"Twisted" is another killer, that drops big beats, over buzzing FX drenched warped synth swirl, some twisted (yup) toasted vox, a clinical two step beat, all wound up into some seriously tense dancefloor damage. "Horror Story" is haunting and harrowing and skeletal, the beats cloaked in grit and buzz, the track laced with weird haunted house ambience, the rhythm sliced and diced, sped up vox, all creepy and crawly, but still fuzzy and funky.
This stuff is so goddamn good. Can't imagine it'll be too long before Terror Danjah finally gets the same sort of hype as folks like Zomby and Benga and Skream and the like, especially considering the fact that this stuff is SO much cooler and weirder...

album cover TERROR DANJAH Undeniable (Hyperdub) cd 17.98
Oh man do we love Terror Danjah. We may get more and more dubstep over here, but grime seems harder and harder to come by, not sure why, but thankfully Planet Mu is still on the case, and finally offers up this the latest brand new full length from Terror Danjah, a killer disc equal parts synthy dubstep skitter, and sinister, blackened dubbed out grime, which KILLS. Like the Power Grid ep we reviewed a while back, TD whips up super cinematic landscapes of big stuttery beats, squelchy synths, tangled melodies, orchestral stabs, looped samples, choral-like backdrops, that are situated firmly in dubstep territory, that is until an MC grabs the mic, and then everything shifts and stuff gets gloriously grimy, FAST. And Undeniable shifts frequently back and forth, from brooding ominous low end darkness, to buzzy synth swirl and back again.
The record opens with the very grimey "Grand Opening", with its stripped down beats, choir like textures, synthy strings, booming bass, and fuzzed out low end warble, all beneath Dream McLean's raw rough flow, winding and slithering through the fields of buzz and thrum and skitter. "Acid" is a blast of house-y Daft Punky dubbed out synthy stutter, which leads directly into "This Year (Pro Plus)", another grime jam, fuzzy and washed out, with some seriously dueling MC's both male and female, stuttery and twisted and abstract.
"Minimal Dub" is just that, a super minimal slab of abstract dubstep, peppered with vocal snippets and bits of synth squelch, all laced over a fragile sounding crystalline beat, which leads directly into the pounding almost dubhouse-y "Breaking Bard", with its relentless beat and swirl of buzz and rumble and thrum, not to mention fractured vox and ravey synths.
And on it goes, long stretches get all sci-fi and synthy, sounding like the dubstep version of the current craze of Carpenter/Goblin worship, but heavy on the bass buzz and stuttery beat, while others get super stripped down and minimal, skeletal and spidery, while still others get all soulful and trip hoppy.
A killer collection of dubstep /grime, that is absolutely essential listening for anyone who has been digging the recent spate of dubstep comps or any of the recent jams from Zomby, Clubroot, Vex'd, Ikonika, Guido, Mount Kimbie, etc.
And be sure to stick around until the end for a secret track, a bad ass blast of old school dubstep ragga style jungle, Terror Danjah style. Makes us wish he'd do a whole record of that stuff for sure!

album cover TERRORAZOR / H4180V21.C Noise Alliance (Deathstrike) 7" 8.98
Evil Avenger has to be one of the weirdest and demented and most original sonic alchemists in black metal. Besides being the mastermind behind 'wooden metal' horde Varghkogarghasmal, and playing in Front Beast, Necroslaughter, Szarlem, Witchslaughter, Angel Of Damnation, Black Priest of Satan, and about a million others, he also is the psychotic genius behind one man blackened grind metal 'combo' Terrorazor, which just might be the weirdest of the bunch.
Ultra chaotic, murky, muddy, noise drenched blackened free metal. Or something like that. This stuff is really far out, and difficult to describe. Disintegrating riffs, splattery free jazz rhythms that only occasionally coalesce into beats, blast and otherwise, guitars swirl and grind and buzz beneath grunted inhuman vox, imagine a black metal Faxed Head, or even a more avant, free jazz Abruptum, or some sick combination of both!
As if Terrorazor wasn't enough madness, the flipside comes from electronic metal weirdos H418ov21.C, named for a record by Finnish metal gods Beherit, but don't be expecting anything like Beherit, or really like anything you've ever heard. The music of H418ov21.C is a totally bizarre blown out tangle of impossibly distorted drum machine and low slung, throbbing free-form downer doom bass. Like Joy Division basslines were stripped from their original songs, and layered over a cacophony of ancient drum machines gone totally haywire and run through a bank of distortion pedals with dying batteries. So fucking bizarre and so amazing.
LIMITED TO ONLY 150 COPIES. Housed in a plain gold sleeve with a printed transparent front cover. Cool.

album cover TERRORISM Skyguide (Hospital Productions) cassette 8.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
A few weeks ago we got a killer batch of 'metal' tapes from Hospital Productions, two of which we reviewed, the 2nd album from Vegas Martyrs, and the debut from death-obsessed doom flecked black metal weirdos Curved Blade, both of which sold out and went out of print crazy quick.
In the same batch we also got two other releases, twisted lo-fi outsider sci-fi death metal weirdness from a band called Time Crypt, and super blown out noise metal damage from Terrorism. The bummer is that we intended to check these out, and then order more to review, but before we knew it, both of these were sold out and out of print as well. But we do still have THREE copies of each, they're both bizarre and baffling and perfect for folks into fucked up confusional metal, so at least a few folks will get to check them out...
Terrorism traffic in some seriously terrifying sounds, totally blasted out, in-the-red, screechy, caustic, harsh and hellish noise drenched black metal, think Bone Awl or Akitsa, Ancestors, Malveillance, that sort of raw primitive pound, but then bury it beneath squalls of harsh high end skree, wild chaotic drum splatter, malfunctioning electronics, moaning low end bellows, a crashing, careening, noise metal juggernaut, the sound slipping from total abstract free noise howl, to murky ploddy drift, to brittle blown out black metal blast, to industrial power electronics and back again. Seriously brutal, but pretty dang great. Too bad we only have 3 copies...
Twisted, shrill, harsh, hateful,

Formed in NYC in 1977, the Terrorists were a punk infused reggae/ska band that predated the UK Two Tone movement by two years. Regularly playing such clubs as CBGBs, Max's Kansas City the Terrorists quickly became the darlings of NME and Melody Maker. The recordings here, which feature guest appearances from both Roland Alphonso and Lee Perry, sound a bit dated but may interest those enthusiasts of the early NYC punk scene and Two Tone as well.

Joey Jordison from Slipknot is this issue's cover star, but don't let that deter you (actually the interview might be interesting, the pull quote on the cover is "I am close to losing my mind"). Elsewhere this ish, there's pieces on Cave In, Kvelertak, Cannabis Corpse, Decapitated, Sepultura, Karma To Burn, In Flames, Shining, Deven Townsend, and a feature on the return of thrash's "Big Four": Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax. Plus all the usual other good stuff, reviews, news, bonus cd sampler (hear some of that new Morbid Angel here), etc. As always, recommended reading for all metalheads.

Looks like a good issue of ye olde Terrorizer here. Darkthrone on the cover, also Kvelertak, Ghost ("And The Rise Of Occult Metal"), Clutch, Rotting Christ, Spektr, Kongh, Necrowretch and tons more. Including an article about a band called Sabzius, blurbed on the cover as "11 F*cking Hours! The World's Longest Song?!" Gotta read about that.
AND, you get not one but two free cds this time, one the usual "Fear Candy" sampler with tracks from Darkthrone and others, the other being an Eastern European metal compilation with a whole bunch of bands mostly new to us.
