HOLY SHIT !!! If you were looking for something harsh and powerful for the coming weekend, don’t waste more time looking. Meketa (or Meketa Power Electronics; I see different notations over the web) is here to surprise the f*ck out of you. And no, I can’t use any other words because this one caught me off guard, and I was as surprised as you will be when you listen to the sounds this week or visit the label’s Bandcamp page.
In five short tracks, between two and three minutes, Meketa cleans your sinuses and other orifices in what can only be described as a more angry version of Atrax Morgue. The difference is that Atrax shows cynicism, melancholia and desolation, and Meketa shows aggression and hate. And when we look at who’s behind it again, this project’s first part/vocals is Steve Makita from Lockweld. As Lockweld has been active for 20 years already, this release sounds professional and really makes an impression, which might be no surprise. Music/sounds/noise is created by Dwid Hellion, who you might know as the only consistent member of Integrity (in my collection due to being a metalhead long ago) or solo as Psywarfare.
I’m reviewing this from a digital source, so I can’t tell you if this cassette is a double-sided same track or if the five tracks are split over the two sides. There are many short releases in noise-land, C5’s even, but who cares? This just under 15-minute release deserves to be played not once, not twice, not thrice… Repeat, auto-play, whatever… This is how Uncle Bauke likes his power electronics! Keep ’em coming!
