The second release by the new Belgian label Alpha Morzel is another surprise. Cassette, 100 copies and just like the previously reviewed Meketa, one of the musicians is Dwid Hellion a.k.a Psywarfare. So rest assured that the sounds on this release also ruin ears when played too loud. The other musician on “†” is Iggor Cavalera. He is known as the drummer from Sepultura, Nailbomb and currently Soulwax (Hey… Maybe there’s the link to being released on a Belgian label). Not many people know he is also fond of experimental music and likes it loud.
On four tracks, Iggor and Dwid explore the coherence between noise, rhythmic structures (without ever becoming rhythms), feedback and, as I see it, what it does to the human mind. The whole project is over in 20 minutes (listening to it digitally as the cassettes are on their way to me), but my oh my, what a beautiful 20 minutes those are. Actually, it is surprising how members of two metal bands I listened to in the early 90’s are now making music together that has nothing to do with metal but is a style that I’ve grown into listening to.
Compared to the other release by Alpha Morzel this cassette is way more experimental noise. It’s absolutely no power electronics with death industrial influences like Meketa, this is weird. This is two guys in a studio, seeing what they can develop if they combine forces. Emphasis on ‘force’. Play now, Play loud, and Regret later.
