The life-shattering debut album of UK-based one-man black/death/noise monstrosity Vessel of Iniquity.

A sensorially annihilating and humiliating sonic holocaust that has brought together the diverse but equally decimating aesthetics of extreme acts like Gnaw Their Tongues, Impetuous Ritual, and Teitanblood to conceive the most absurd and completely unthinkable realms of musical devastation. The self titled Vessel of Iniquity mini album will be released officially in the US by Sentient Ruin, and in the EU by Xenoglossy Productions on January 19 2018. vinyl, tapes and digital products can now be pre-ordered on our store and Bandcamp  (Press Note)

(U.S.) Microwaves/Couch Slut-Split 12" (2017)



Country: USA
Genre: Punk, Noise Rock

Label: SSG Records
Tracks: 5
Length: 21.46'

The perfect pairing. Brooklyn's most maniacally raw agitators and Pittsburgh's paranoia-fueled, cybernetic no-wave grinders sharing one slab of 12" vinyl with eye-gouging screen printed jackets.

With so much contemporary "heavy" music seemingly drawing from the same fountains for influence, Couch Slut are a breath of fresh air, with their truly unique voice projecting loud and clear above the din. While comparisons to Oxbow, Darkthrone, Today is the Day, Swans, Unsane, and even Failure might not be off the mark in terms of inspiration, the execution is carried out in a fashion all their own. Unsettlingly direct lyrics and vocal deliveries that command attention, alongside songwriting that is both menacing and memorable. Couch Slut offer two new tracks exclusive to this release. First up is a bombed-out, doomed rendition of Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters", followed by the blistering original "Dorothy", a favorite from the band's pummeling live sets.

Microwaves, being long-time favorites here at SGG HQ, and we think it fair to say, an influence on Couch Slut(though in no obvious way), have been carving out their own path long enough to know how to expertly fill one side of a record with no filler. The musicianship is rivaled only by the tension seething from these three tracks, one being a brand new assault, another being a reworking of a classic Microwaves burner, and finally, a faithful, if demented(faithfully demented?) take on Voivod's "Ravenous Medicine".

It has been extremely exciting to see and hear this release come together and we are proud to bring it into the world for fans of uncompromising, visceral sound.  (Press Note)


*Here's a really awesome split featuring new material from weirdo Pittsburgh, PA noise punkers Microwaves and new material from sleeze NYC noise punkers Couch Slut.  Micrfowaves offer up three new songs on their side of the split and Couch Slut offer up two new songs on their side.  Overall, this is a killer 12" and definitely should not be missed.  The split was released via NY's SSG records on October 15th, 2017.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

(b.abuse)-Memories Of Better Days Are Gone LP (2018)

Country: Germany
Genre: Post Metal, Post Hardcore, Post Rock, Crust, Sludge, Noise Rock
Label: Wooaaargh!
Tracks: 9
Length: 40.32'


German post-crust experimental veterans [B.ABUSE] bring an elegiac atmosphere with their fifth full length release; 'Memories Of Better Days Are Gone'. Right from the opening track there is something unusual about this band, immediately blending rolling post-rock atmosphere with a cross between Neurosis' hoarse bellow and clean, Cure-like vocal inflections and punching, punk-touched drums. They seek to push the listener with tracks walking the mid-tempo tension line, building from the simplest foundations (in the case of the opener just two chords), and advancing in movements to a point of critical mass, sometimes a brief blastbeat, often a crescendo of noise.
 
This is a band that manage to summon nostalgic sounds, classic Godflesh, Voivod, The Jesus Lizard, Discharge etc and fuse it into dream-like chryssalis of noise in these songs. Each feels very self contained, and considering the 'post' tag, very reasonable in length. Of the 8 tracks, only one is significantly longer than 5 minutes (the showstopping penultiumate near-ballad 'Zerfall') clocking in at just over 9. The refusal to disappear into self-congratulatory pretension is something that sets [B.ABUSE] aside from their contemporaries and certainly makes this album worth checking out. The band's ability to move between, for example, Math type hardcore chord stabbing, tidal synth atmosphere and traditional metal riffing is consummate and profound.
 
According to [B.ABUSE] "Everybody was harmed during the making of this record", this is believable in the sounds archived here, though the songs are all intrinsically different, they are tied together by a common thread of mourning that pervades the release. There is something on this album for anyone who considers themsleves a music fan, and the air of sorrow, though pervasive, does not weigh the music down or crush the listener with 'heaviness', the diversity of this release has to be heard to be believed. Not content with holding onto the weight of the Godflesh comparison, or the chaos of someone like Merzbow, or the atmosphere of maybe Mogwai, but managing to touch all these extreme ends threads on an album without metal pretension is something to be lauded.

*This is some seriously awesome post metal, post hardcore, post rock, crust, sludge, and noise rock from Germany!  Amazing album!  Enjoy!
