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).
The first one is “Stand In Blood”, the first Dead Body Love release and the first tape release on Gabriele’s own Less Than Zero label. Five tracks spanning around 45 minutes with harsh noise the way you like your noise: HARSH! The fun thing here is that each track has a title somehow relating to the used sound sources. “Fuck It Away” has a droning background with a looped porn sample, “Papa-Krttamah”, a traditional Turkish or Arabian instrument not combined with a drone but with a massive wall of sound. So far, for the conceptual approach on the original Side A.
The reverse side – in this case, the second part of the CD – knows a different approach and is way less ‘loopy’. “Crime Against The Gods” and “Open Sore” seem to be harsh noise eruptions where there has been a lot of experimenting to get to this point of massiveness. Marvellous. The final track, “Critical Mass”, has more heavily compressed feedback patterns, and somehow, it seems a bit ‘rhythmic’. No nononoooo nono …. Relax, no actual rhythms could be heard in here; it’s still massive as fuck.
