COLL: Old Tyme Lemonade - (Hospital) Providence, Ri is one scene that thankfully won’t be celebrated by the likes of Empty-Vee, Spin or Rolling Stone - that is to say if those morons even do such things anymore. Either way, this compilation features 20 reasons why the mainstream would avoid Providence like the plague - lots of fucked up sounding noise & damaged (both sonically & probably mentally) bands. Raging from pure noise, freaky hardcore techno, black-metal inspired stuff to raw hardcore/grind it’s all here.
(((1))) Landed = Totally fucked up & wacked-out mix of the Jesus Lizard & mixed with some Unsane mixed with a megadose of PCP. Just severe!
((2)) Noise Nomads = Ouch-worthy noise into distorted weirdness. Kinda short.
((((3)))) Necromonitron = Free-form ultra-rock mixing up the Ruins, various Robert Fripp-isms, Magma and mixed in with some heaviness. While it sounds sort of tech-y they’re just going in cycles of 5-6 notes.
(((4))) Mindflayer= Screetchy noise into distorted drums and some satanic vacuum cleaner. Jazz/prog from hell! File under weird but amusing.
(((5)))) Knights of Timbre = Tweaked out noise & mincing of the Speed Racer theme. Something like Evolution Control Committee crossed with Nurse With Wound.
((((6))))) Em Dath Rir = 3 tracks of doomed-out, lo-fi GodheadSilo/Thrones fuzz mania crossing into ultra-noisy & fucked up Beherit/Mystifer-styled kult black metal & Crossed Out style power-violence!!! Bow down NOW!
(((7))) Prurient = Fucking SCARY Whitehouse-like noise/original industrial.
(((8))) Drop Dead = Long-time grind/utlra-core nutters blasting out raw grind/ultra-core in very raw style for the kids in Finland.
((9)) Mahi-Mahi = Super-minimal ambient dub drift. Nothing all that exciting.
(((10))) Seratone = Nice acoustic guitar strums that TOTALLY sound like an unused intro that was lifted from a Metallica or Megadeth tune circa 1984-85.
((((11)))) Football Rabbit = Drum machine and lurching slow strummed guitar like Codeine then goes into a more a straight up Killdozer/Thrones rockin’ doomcrusher which even throws in that very 80’s “electronic handclap” beat.
(((12))) Suffering Bastard = 5 tracks of terribly recorded but ULTRA-lo-if gurgle-grind/noise core. Remicent of those “Bleeeeaarrrggggh” compliations. 3rd track of theirs has a sample of some Anton LaVey-led ritual where the give shouts out to the many names of the ‘ol horned one.
(13) Smashed Femur Dance Party = Pretty awful Stones cover that mixes of early Sebadoh & someone cranking up a fish tank pump.
(((14)))) Throne of Blood =- A motherfucker of O.T.T. blurr-grind/metal with either female vocals or some really young kid vocals. Awesome but hella short.
((15)) Kites = More fish tank pump sounding noise with a Bastard Noise/Merzbow thing (but not as good) going on.
((16)) Lightning Bolt = Not one of their best tunes but VERY noisey & fucked up distorted drums & bass set at a fairly painful level.
((17)) Knivestorm = Minimalist noise once again sounding like a fish-tank pump filtered but this time it’s filtered through a computer program - or at least sounds that way.
(((18))) Meerk Puffy = Seriously awesome noise & lo-fi “Atari 2600 on PCP” sounding techno for people who wanna kill instead of dance.
(((19))) White Mice = A load of distorted bass & drums stuck in a thicket of muddy unholy doom noise/industrial. Pretty close to the satanic Swede nutters MZ.412
(((20))) Patootie Lobe = Super minimal & weird video game style noise & feedback manipulations that gets more interesting when you listen closely.
