Death Metal Madness Vol. II

International, Pacific Rim, collection of noise. Despite name its a noise mishmash from spoken word to brutal harsh noise. Artists range far and wide as Indonesia, Mexico, and close to home as KZSUs very own illustrious Diego Manuel (Noriegas). Only one track could be considered death metal but even that defies the label. Lots of Eviction Notice Noise, a couple Hypnotoad Noise tracks (which Your Imaginary Friend is partial to due to its many head injuries thank you).

1) Indonesia: spoken word about Gaza laced with disturbing gunfire sounds
2)** (0:55) Mexico: kick ass 1 minute blast of dirty thrash speed core with old school indecipherable growl vocs
3) (7:42) Indonesia: harsh noise, live feel, think Merzbow full on brutality
4)* (4:54) California: beautiful grinding noise with drone aspect but still harsh, subgenre Hypnotoad Noise.
5) (5:37) Malaysia: i think this one broke my bandcamp. See also Hannatarash, Merzbow, the Gerogerigogo (sp?), super harsh early 90’s Japanoise.
6)** (8:08) some former kzsu dj guy who still lives here… Beautiful swallowed Hypnotoad Drone, a meditative reflection on the state of the inside of one’s head after time on this planet, yes, emptiness, atmospheric, noisey, ugly at times. I like this one best and not just cuz i want to be Diego Manuel when i grow up
7) (4:34) Indonesia: insanity returns, circuit breaking apocalyptic cacophony, dont answer the door the landlord came armed this time
