I assume you don't still need Wince's s/t?

dead or what?

Love the profile pic

Prurient, Xenophobic Ejaculation, Bathory, Abandon och Von. those are some good stuffs.

do you have that City Bones rip?

rad. i will look forward to checking out the review! by the way, keep it up with those reviews/retrospectives. its refreshing to read someones actual thoughts/responses to music rather than someone just saying "this shit rules, sounds like ________" also, when is the first issue of Biting going to see the light of day via scans?!

im the worst when it comes to trades, mainly because i cant bear to part with anything i own, haha. if youre willing to sell it, i would probably be down. i have heard mixed reviews on it. what is your honest opinion of the writing?

hey. i just noticed that you have that A Commodity Called Sex book. where did you ever pick that up? it is impossible to track down. can you tell me a little more about it?

Nevermind - just read down through the posts on Pure Stench and I get it. Cheers man, keep the reviews coming. You get nothing but respect from here. Hope all is well.

Only blog that matters now? Oh no, does that mean no more Funeral Stench?

nice power electronics blog you got there. i like how we have akitsa, taint, prurient, peter sotos and streicher in common but yet we're still low.

Filthy blog, dude. I used to hit it up every now and then, but as this point I think I'm addicted. I hope all is well.

virgin springs just releases a single sided LP on gods of tundra if you didn't already know

thanks for the cool blog

not really. it's more death industrial then power electronics I guess. Not much vocals just a long set of samples documenting the japanese experiments in nanking and whatnot.

have you heard the urge within? it's a canady project w/david e williams. I just listened to the "blood red sun" cassette and it's great.

also, don't take my shouts (too) seriously. i'm usally being an ass, especially at those raw black metal/punk bands pages

i understood! i simply continued on it in my childish and immature manner and hinted that the RB dude should hang himself just like old man Ian Curtis did...in order to keep it even more in common. and trve

Well thank you!

I was serious 100% man, I am very jealous of your charts. I need to get more into the rbm and power electronics stuff, and your blog is a great place to help me out in that respect. So Thank You. Glad to add to moral support for you, brothah. Long live filth!

You are a good man.

By the way, capricornus... very nice.

Rip it. I'm, drooling for it. Haha.

Holy shit. I want it.

No

Haha. Yes, now i'm satisfied. Too bad I cannot entirely erase him from existence.

I understand. In the past I have had the same issue.

Nice blogs ;-)

Hahaha. Kanye West.

Eve of Crass did vocal for a nurse with wound track who collaborated with william bennett of whitehouse who coined the term power elelctronics which is a style played y taint.

Yeah they are pretty far from one another in terms of theme. There is a little bit of a connection though, Crass had some experimental tracks (at least compared to the rest of punk) and its members appeared on Current 93 and Nurse With Wound albums. 6 degrees of separation and all that.

Sure I'd agree with all that, although I think control does have a close relation to other American PE via the heavy bass rumblings, they just don't forget about using a lot of other layered loops and higher end parts too. I don't mind vocals being heavily buried. I agree with the Deapthpile/Slogun comparision, but I like Deathpile so much more. Slogun is kinda mediocre to me about 75% of the time. I re-listened to the Whorebutcher half of the split again, and I didn't like their first song on it but the other four were pretty astounding. I'll have to buy some of their releases sometime.

I just meant I could see how the disgust towards people of some of the earlier acts could link up with straight edge's disgust towards drug users. I'll give that split another listen. I've been a fan of Deathpile for awhile, although I do get bored with the rumbling bass wall stuff if it doesn't have another element to it. Like most people I prefer Control.

I've got the whorebutcher Deathpile comp too, but for the life of me can't remember what they sound like.

I always wondered how much prison was the way they say it was. I remember reading the guy who wrote the ANSWER ME zines and how he said it wasn't at all like OZ or anything, although he didn't seem to think it was very much fun either.

You're absolutely right on the ""dumb junkie whore thing" and how that could connect to straight edge. That's pretty much the best of Phillip Best's lyrical content these days. I did see some of those groups, and am in the process of checking them out. I've not been a fan of MO from what I've heard. I've heard some of Mikko Aspa's projects (I've got a few splits/compilations) and I'm kind of mixed on it so far. I've thought all of it was solid, but so far he hasn't made it into my favorites.

That's not to say that the projects working from that angle aren't good, plenty are, but I feel like that angle should be evolved a bit, and a lot of groups just aren't doing that. Didn't know there was "straight edge" PE, sounds absurd, but I guess if Whitehouse wasn't around hardly anytime at all before blackhouse was doing christian PE I shouldn't be surprised as to whats evolved 20 odd years later. I'm not a big fan of the right wing/fascist stuff. I hear those kinds of opinions pretty constantly in KY, and they aren't shocking to me, they just seem wrong.

I was curious based on your blog/listening record. I guess I should say that I am gld there are still sexual/violent PE bands just as I'm glad there are still bands like Watain to keep the old black metal sound alive. I guess my real problem with some of it is how regressive it all can be. When I think of the bands who are taking those themes in new places and new directions I think of Sutcliffe Jugend, Whitehouse, and Consumer Electronics, which are the same bands who pioneered that style of Power Electronics in the first place! Why is it that the pioneers are still the major innovators? I realize plenty have done a lot to change the sound, but it feels like they all interpret sexual violence from the same old perspective; one that focuses on a male brutality, which to me just makes them lyrically an evolved version of death metal lyrics. There are so many different subtexts to S&M for example besides the sort of bestial male domination and yet it feels like its rarely explored.

So I'm curious, are you of the opinion that power electronics should stay primarily in the sick sexual violence realm, or that it should branch out, or both?

your blog looks like it could be pretty sweet.

Yeah, that's the one I've been looking for. I don't have slsk, but can you mediafire it? By the way, props on Funeral Stench. That Thy Feeble Saviour, Church Of Asmodeus, and Masokismi shit fucking rule. Heard that Devil's Dung shit rules, but I can't dl it :\

Yo, you don't happen to have a link for Subklinik? I can't find that shit anywhere

I did in fast. Nicely put! I rarely write review. Everybody seems to have they own opinion and taste after some years in the "scene" but it's wonderful that you shear things that impossible to get. Now preparing a list to oder from Miko so hope he will have the old stuff. If you would like to read my insanity: http://s-dietrich.blogspot.com/

How are you doing? I think I found your blog so watching you. I have the page too. Anyway hope you are live and hm.. well? haha! Heil!
