Another 48 minutes by Tribe Tapes that will ruin your childhood. And yes, that is meant most lovingly. A few months ago, I played at the Crude Transmissions festival in Leiden, NL, and there was Pain Appendix, who is Pete Jennings from somewhere in the US (I don’t know exactly). He is doing quite well if you look at his releases. A tape/CD on Satatuhatta, a split with Black Leather Jesus, Armenia and now Tribe Tapes. And his show in Leiden was terrific. He had a bit of a symbiosis between the harsh junk metal noise thing but with looped backgrounds in a power electronics kinda way. So there and then, he was my absolute favourite of the evening. His side of this tape focuses more on the junk metal noise with an added role for the looper on “Tumescence”. The final track, “Scream Of The Demon Whip,” finally catches a bit of those deep layers I heard on stage.
The reverse side of “Whipped By Noise” is by Kortrijkian Vincent Dallas. He whose name cannot be found through intense googling. Vincent released some ten titles, of which 7 in 2022 alone. According to Discogs, at least. All titles are in Flemish / Dutch, and these are not different. “Chasing myself with whip and smile” and “Cat’O’Nine-Tails” but then in Dutch. Both tracks should be indexed under HNW, even though the ‘cat’-track has some nice variation in there. The sound is so incredibly heavy in his works, I’m kinda silent because of it. I feel small … Really, really small. If this is what Vincent does … HNW might have a new master. He already has the whip for it.
