In the past, I have had the pleasure of reviewing some of Alpha Morzel’s releases from Belgium, including cassettes by Igor Cavalera & Dwid Hellion’s collaboration, Psywarfare, and releases by Meketa. Some nice works that I still play regularly. So it’s safe to say that Alpha Morzel is there to stay. And to get you a little taste of their sounds and direction, they decided to release a FREE DOWNLOAD album, which is also available as a CD. The downloads aren’t limited; the CD is there in only 100 copies. So, act fast if you want it.
In 16 tracks and 71 minutes, your mind is being purified by some of the most extreme sounds I’ve heard in the last few months. On this sampler are some known names as well as some lesser-known gods. The artists are Skin Machine, Psywarfare, Vincent Dallas (Dries of Kindvriendelijk), Meketa Power Electronics, Rublev, YesYesYesYesYes, Government Alpha, Fellahean, True Deep, Corpse Meditation, Torturing Nurse, Hombre, Junta, Last Action, Panzram and Aske.
The tracks on this sampler aren’t restricted to one style, which is both good and bad in a way. The noise and power electronics on here are from high-quality projects we all know and admire. Some Steve Meketa-related works, including Vincent Dallas, Government Alpha, and Torturing Nurse… Yammie! Projects I hadn’t heard of are for example YesYesYesYesYes who presents some rhythmic/structured/experimental 8bit sounds, Rublev is there with a metal track (my knowledge doesn’t reach far enough to say it’s trash, black or death), True Deep has a track with slow beats and a bit of a death ambient feel to it, Corpse Meditation experiments with noise and structure and well, Panzram I just don’t understand. But that’s all okay because the largest part consists of stuff that makes me happy and which makes me want to play it again. And maybe skip that one track I didn’t like. Because that means 15/16 I did like 😉
