White Noise Eardrum Buster: Have a “Techno Viking” Raid!

In my mind, when I see the two words “Techno” and “Viking” put together, it doesn’t seem right, “Techno” to me is wimpy and pathetic, “Viking” is strong, virile and mean. I was that kid in the 1990’s who hated techno as a genre for the most part, barring a few songs here and there, I was the kid that liked metal, noise rock, punk and noise genres as a whole and the only reason why I would go to raves was to pick up chicks on Ecstasy and score some mind altering substances, other than that I hated the techno hipsters with their brightly colored clothing and jewelry. Me and my friends would make fun of them, overall I thought it was pretentious music for pretentious people, which is the reason why I had some trepidation picking “Techno Viking”, even if it was on the ASKE (Anti Social Kultur England) label, but my trepidation were put to rest, this was a whole tape of twisted Techno, the twisted part put the “Viking” in the music.

Techno Viking xeroxed tape art and track listing.

The tape came with xeroxed art with the title of the tape, “Techno Viking” on top and bottom, the ASKE records symbol on one side and the track listing on the other side. Again seeing the art I figured that the tape would be a cheap, recorded one, nope, it was a white pro tape limited to 40 copies,  I have copy 16.

Techno Viking white pro tape.

So here is my track by track break down of “Techno Viking”, the first track is “War” and it starts with a sample from the movie “Fight Club” with chanting in back and then bongos mixed into the track. The second track  “Discipline” has synthesized beat and effects and “Discipline” chanted over over, the beat gets faster and faster and the “Discipline” chant gets higher in pitch like chipmunks, the third track is “Pub Fight”, this track has a wailing synth line with a weird electronic beat over samples of people fighting in a club. The fourth track is “Life on the Streets” which features a sample of a journalist interviewing a drug lord played with an incessant beat over the interview. The fifth track is “Destroy Rework” which features a beat with a distorted synth over it. The sixth track “Debt Rework” has a distorted synth over a galloping bass line and beat, the sixth track is “Ogard Runir Remix” the track is pretty much pagan chanting over a repeated electric drum beat, distorted bass with a high, whiny synth line, and the seventh and last track which is my favorite is “Abyss” which is low, pitch shifted spoken word over synth lines and drones. Overall, this is techno I don’t mind too much, still not a big fan, not enough happens in the “techno” genre of music. “Techno Viking” techno done “ASKE” style is techno done right.

Sorry no more Viking booty anywhere.

White Noise Eardrum Buster: Hear the “Lightning Undersun”, the house shaker.

 

Tape came in a bag with Undersun sticker on bag and color xeroxed art work page that wrapped tape.

Now I rarely hear folk music mixed with experimental industrial and darkwave. ASKE (Anti Social Kultur England) records is known for putting out weird and out there lo fi music, everything from black metal to twisted techno, some of those genres mixed together. “Lightning Undersun” is one such project, this is one tape whose sound is hard to pin down and that is the way I like it, Discogs gives really thin information on “Lightning Undersun” I did get this off of Analog Worship, there was a limited edition of 30 I got tape 3, I know this is a small label but I really am not into the whole small amount of “limited edition” batches that only certain people can get, especially if your stuff isn’t up on a streaming service or bandcamp. I know ASKE pulled down their whole discography on bandcamp and are doing physical release only, that means only 30 people are going to hear “Lightning Undersun” which doesn’t make any sense to me at all, there is a bit of snobbery and elitism when a release is only limited to X amount of copies. I know most of these types of labels hate the mainstream and trends but who is gonna listen to your label or band if you keep it off of everything? Your label and band can remain special by just sticking to your principles and sound, strictly limiting yourself as a label makes no sense.

White pro tape with number of tape in the series in black marker.

The “Lightning Undersun” tape, besides the bag having xeroxed art work folded over the tape, has a slip of paper with the track listings on them.

Track listing sheet.

So for a track by track break down, so track one is called “The Son”, kind of a play on words, this track is a weird mix of darkwave and folk with low echoing vocals that switch to clean higher pitched vocals, with wailing flute,a programmed drum machine beat in back, and a acoustic guitar strumming along, so far this track sounds a lot like “Death in June”. Track two is called “Blood God”, this track is a fast paced affair with hardcore screeching vocals that go into clean singing, then into what can only be described as industrial noise racket and then a strummed acoustic guitar and field recordings of rain and thunder, a sample from some old movie is played and then harmonious singing. Track three is called “War in the Sky” it starts with a steady drum machine beat, static noise like you’d hear in the “Harsh Wall of Noise” genre and a ghostly synth with light background talking and near the end of the track various strumming acoustic guitars colliding with keyboards. The last track “The Wheel Turns” starts with bongos and a electric sitar playing fast, dogs barking, people grunting and the deep, echoing darkwave vocals return to round out the track. These tracks repeat on side B.

So to get struck right away, go here, because there is no other way to be struck because this tape is for sale nowhere: https://www.bitchute.com/video/eDUbnGNzfvp4/

White Noise Eardrum Buster: “Calling All Covens” come on down for the seance party in the tea room!!!

“Sure to become a solid favorite at after-seance parties and packing the dance floors at spiritualist conventions, this compilation of rank electrified filth brings together a body of work deeply rooted in the murkiest strains of underground noise music”. Couldn’t have said it better, this on the A5 booklet insert on the back, this is creepy seance music that is meant to be played by candle light.

Front cover of A5 booklet for tape.
Page 2 with track listing.

 

This thing was put together by dark ambient group Goat Majesty, the front and back cover were done by Vladimir Vacovsky. What you got here is a who’s who of the blackened noise, dark ambient and drone scene. First off you got ZN with “Ingratitud Y Colera”, a tune with screeching feedback that sounds like a woman is screaming and deep drones that puts you on edge.

Page for ZN track.

Next up is Goat Majesty with their track “Cult Leaders” which comes roaring in like a demon possessed beast, with deep bubbling drones and muffled vocals, this is something that Abruptum in their experimental heyday would’ve done, feedback screech swirls in and out of the song and builds into a cacophony of blinding black noise and synths wailing. A very experimental black metal vibe on this one.  No drugs required for this one kids.

Goat Majesty’s page for their track.

Windy dark ambience haunts Haare’s track “Inside the Black Mirror”, a lighter track, ghostly sounding with a few squeals of feed back here and there, this is like being stranded in a grey wasteland with stagnant pools. There is a kind of weird beauty to it.

Haare’s page for their track.

Fordell Research Unit’s track “Ilm (For Daniel Rutter and Sandy Milroy, Giallo buddies)” starts with light and haunting synths that wail in back of heavy drones, this track combines heavy weight lead and feather light sound, a combo that works in a strange way. A track that could be in a 1980’s dark fantasy film.

Page for Fordell Research Unit’s track. “Kolchak the Night Stalker”.

Vampyre’s track “02 SoV” starts out with squealing feedback then gives way to pulsing and swirling sound. Synths are bent, broken and tortured, the sounds of a violin being ripped apart. This is a rough track like a vampire’s bite and the track will suck you dry. Its dark ambient clouds laced with lightning bolts and a calm pulse.

Page to Vampyre’s track.

 

Black Mountain Transmitter starts their transmission, “Saturn in Retrograde”, with a rough and rolling crash of cymbals, roaring feed back and pulsing drones, all this mixes into a slow, plodding sludge of sound. Kids don’t try this at home. Wailing, bubbling and cascading sound brings to mind cyclopean dark and gray landscapes on some strange Lovecraftian planet.

Black Mountain Transmitters page for their track.

Husere Grav’s “Abandoned Instinct” starts off with a smooth, billowing sound that pulses in and out like a dying light bulb and increases in intensity and sound and then mellowing out on a strange. dark, drone loop. Hypnotic stuff.

Page for Husere Grav’s track.

Aderlating’s track “Eerste Pijniging” starts off with a low throb and crackling sound with echoes. Its as if one is trapped in a dank, haunted dungeon. Soft drones are the order of the day and creaking, howling sounds, make this track very creepy.

Page for Aderlating’s track.

The tape looked like it was professionally done unlike a majority of these limited run noise tapes that look like their recorded onto cheap blank tapes one gets in packs at Walmart here in America and Tesco in Europe. The A5 booklet and tape came in a plastic baggy.

So the question is should you get “Calling All Covens”? If you are a literal noise addict, want something different, if want music you can sacrifice somebody or something to (that was a joke), background for that dark video game you kids play, sound for the background of a role playing table top game etc. Than “Calling All Covens” will be right up your alley.

Back page of A5 booklet.

So if you want to get physical there a few copies left on discogs, (limited to 50 hand numbered copies) good luck: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Calling-All-Covens/release/12414442

If you want it in the background or want to see if you want to join the physical cult but want to start spiritual go here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/zrewAiE9WcK9/

White Noise Eardrum Buster: Having “Fun in Latex” on a “Sissy Sunday”.

The jig is up, pervert. Your going to jail you freak, peeping Tom piece of shit, masturbating into your vinyl freak outfit sneaking around a girl’s slumber party where their pissing and shitting in adult diapers, and listening to bad pop music. God damn freak, your gonna get beat up and put on a sex offenders registry. Listening to Fun in Latex’s “Sissy Sunday” tape will leave you feeling like this. I review noise audio and visual and this is literally a noise tape, well, a field recording of a girl’s slumber party where at one point a girl gets off on pissing in adult diapers. In parts of the tape the voices are modulated and there is crinkling of rubber sheets and vinyl. If your the type of weirdo turned on by this, this tape is for you.

I got this tape in a collection my buddy sent me, he was getting rid of a bunch of noise tapes and sent these to me. This one stood out because it was so different looking from the other cassettes in the stuff he sent me. The cassette shell insert had the picture of a pink colored girl’s room, the cassette itself was a clear recorded one with the band’s name and album title in white fingernail polish etched on the tape, at first I thought this was some dream pop or “indie” mainstream nonsense. I was wrong, this made me feel gross and this made me feel creepy, it felt wrong listening to this, like a guy snuck a camera or bug into a sleep over, a sleep over that featured girls in crinkly, pink vinyl suits and soiled diapers.

There is another insert in the tape, a unsettling picture of a child’s bed, and again in white finger nail polish, “Fun in Latex Sissy Sunday recorded live 2014” now of course I am being facetious in the proceeding comment, I am pretty sure the dude from Fun in Latex knows some pretty freaky fetish people and got them in on his action. Or maybe he is a pervert who taped a slumber party. Looking at the cover and the insert you get the feeling that this type of material leans dangerously into “Lolita territory”. The thing looks very homemade, like the cover and insert were made off a printer along with the white finger nail polish.

Looking at discogs Fun in Latex has other releases and in that box my buddy gave me was another Fun in Latex release “Ja Wohl” with a unsettling cover which I might upload in the future. It says the artist’s names are Joseph Gates and Venessa Gates, a husband and wife team if I am correct who probably like to dress each other up in diapers and pink vinyl with pacifiers. The Analog Worship web site describes this tape as “Absolute warmth and sissy reverie, crinkling textures, and cuddly comforts await the listener brave enough to venture into the veritable Princess’s bedroom closet of delights contained within the confines of this cassette tape.” So you get the drift. I like weird, this is weird but its also creepy. Don’t know how I feel about it, there you have Fun in Latex “Sissy Sunday”.

So you want to be dressed up in a frilly pink dress, get abused and be made to piss yourself? Well than come on down, sissy, and give this a preview listen at: https://www.bitchute.com/video/3LfXr8UAxbnf/

No copies of the tape available on discogs but these are on a limited number from Analog Worship, via Vulnavia recordings snap one up if you like this kind of thing: https://www.analogworship.com/item/?id=1642
