Comment: Torn Flesh Records is mostly known as
an imprint for extreme metal/hardcore punk music though there are up some
exceptions in the label`s discography. For instance, take on this 5-track issue
of 34 minutes. The central track is Select
The Victim which embraces 13 minutes to bring forth truly peculiar rhythmic
sounds and pulsating electronics in the background as if being influenced
partly by art music/Klang music. In fact, the experience is amplified by the
following piece Pave The Path. Embrace The Grim chimes like an instance
of deep house music produced by the noise musician. It does mean he does not
give a fuck to his own principles. However, the other compositions are
remarkably more brown noise fuelled, providing obscure synthesised drones with
pervasive ominous glimmer and more angular rhythmic frequencies because at
times there is no chance to describe it as the rhythmic ones. One could discern
them barely as pulsations coming out from the nexus. In a word, Nikolai Gawin`s
issue is an impressive insight into a world of uncompromised sounds and
attitude.
