A few weeks ago, I reviewed a re-release by Dead Body Love on Tribe Tapes. That particular release was chosen for being a part of the Slaughter Tapes catalogue. Together with Die Sonne Satans and Smell & Quim/Expose Your Eyes. Input Error decided to focus on Dead Body Love himself (being Gabriele Giuliani) and is now re-releasing two oldies (from ’95 and ’96).
This second re-release was also previously released on Less Than Zero, but the original single-sided, 30-minute tape wasn’t enough for Input Error to put on a CD. So to make it a 60-minute monstrous release, they added the 31-minute “Torture King”. An edited version of this track can be found on the ‘Retrocuts’ Dead Body Love compilation CD from 2007. But okay, stay focussed, BW, which is kinda tricky when listening to this kind of music.
“Horrors Of The Human Body” was originally a three-tracker. “Human Waste” counts 18 minutes and made me think about one of my all-time favourite acts Namanax. Why I don’t know, but rest assured, I’ll be diving into this at some point in the future. “Skinned & Pierced” is ‘harsh and piercing’; Loads of high-pitched feedback in here. “Machines Of Agony” is finally based on sound sources created by Jonathan Canady, who we know of Death Pile, Hollow Earth, Angel of Decay and his recent work under his name (TIP!). This track is one massive HNW from before the invention of that term. In the end, a bit of the original sounds – I think – drip through, and it is an excellent opening towards that one extra track. The “Torture King” build-up is perfect, and you’re slowly guided into a sonic interpretation of hell. I can’t describe it otherwise.
A re-release that is more than worth your time and money if noise is what you listen to.
