Getting ready for Roadburn. Listening to Necro Deathmort.

This Beat Is Necrotronic


Music Of Bleak Origin


Both albums are fantastic.

As usual I'll let the fine folks at aquarius records describe them for me.

NECRO DEATHMORT This Beat Is Necrotronic (Distraction)
This record seemed like it was custom made for aQ. They're called Necro Deathmort, the record is called This Beat Is Necrotronic, they've been described as SUNNO))) meets Squarepusher, it's heavy, it's skittery, it's dark, it's like a metal dubstep record, or a grim electronic laced doomdrone record, some of the tracks are stuttery and rhythmic, others are grim and ominous and intense, all of them are heavy, the sound veers from spaced out and downtuned, to skeletal and psychedelic, to thick and caustic, to big beated and bassy.
Thanks to aQ customer Mark for introducing us to these guys, we've been listening to it nonstop since we got it in. It's definitely a tough one to pin down, a little all over the map, but no matter what's going on, the various sounds and vibes and moods are definitely connected, joined by a thick grim black thread.


NECRO DEATHMORT Music Of Bleak Origin (Distraction)
We made the debut from the awesomely named Necro Deathmort our Record Of The Week way back in January of 2010. As we mentioned in that review it was pretty much a no brainer...
If anything, this new one, record number two, even more evocatively titled Music Of Bleak Origin, is exactly what you would hope for as a follow up. In some ways, the gimmick of the first record was almost enough, sludgey metal guitars AND beats, granted, those two elements, not usually good bedfellows, were deftly woven into something special, heavy enough for the metalheads, but atmospheric and rhythmic enough for everyone else, but here, it's like that first record reimagined, and re-engineered, sonically, compositionally, it's heavier, more melodic, the songs are more catchy, more actual proper songs, the beats are bigger too, with much of the record REALLY sounding like a metal dubstep record, with the sound shifting easily from doomy skitter, to lurching electronics laced lumber, at its heaviest, definitely worthy of any self respecting metalhead's attention (adventurous metalheads we might qualify), but those heavy moments are not JUST heavy, their tangled up with squelchy synths, spaced out effects, keening vocals way down in the mix, almost like they decided to add space rock to their already eclectic palette, and when they're more concerned with beats, that heaviness, and doominess, and bleak origin, seeps into every beat, every twisted loop, or fuzzy buzzy synth.

If the descriptions sound interesting, I highly recommend.

^^ awesome stuff man, thanks for sharing. I feel like I wish some of the songs would last for hours.

when it's not soul and reggae, it's oi! fucking music.

Necro Deathmort are pretty incredible. I was slightly obsessed with Music for a few weeks there. Thanks for the reminder to listen to it again.



Really liking the new Mars Volta. But I like everything they've done (and AtDI). I thought the single, the Malkin Jewel, kind of sucked on first listen. I'm guessing the whole album will take a few listens to sink in fully, but I already like it just on principle.

I listen to mostly vinyl records recently of my favorite artists...

nice- hows that peel session?

i love kraftwerk on vinyl,i idiotically passed on a neon green kraftwerk 7 inch one time, hate myself for it.

^Absolute classic

FUCK! YES!

Nice! I was listening to that album earlier this week.

Also, I went to see "Such Hawks, Such Hounds" at the MFA in Boston last Friday, and Zozobra played beforehand in the area outside of the auditorium. It was crazy to see such a loud band in that setting. The art on the walls was shaking and old ladies were walking by with their hands over their ears. It was great. I've wanted to see those guys since I first heard them five years ago.

Fixed my vinyl setup on Wednesday. My phono input has a bad right channel, so I hooked up my preamp and am running my turntable through the tape 2 input for now.

Just finished listening to:




And next I'm listening to:

My favorite Cat Power record. I bought this after hearing her cover of "I Found a Reason" by Lou Reed on V for Vendetta.

pure classic awesome. It's been awhile since I listened to it.
I love the secret Barbara Walters satanic teens interview clip at the end.

In the last days i'm totally in love with Veils ep "Clarity"

Really good hardcore from uk.
If you want give a try even to Steady Hands" ep....

It's as full of cliches as you'd imagine, but still enjoyable. No politics, just a decent (albeit corny) Oi! album.

I don't know why, but Kimya Dawson always makes it to my hometown, when she tours. In fact, I'm going to see her play tonight.

Listened to both Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics on Friday and Saturday and now the new COC.

Occasionally I miss the nineties.
