World wide noise/noisecore compilation CD from NAT Records in Japan.

The recording quality is top notch, in an overblown, loud as fuck blowout, as BARBARA tears through 9 songs of harsh black metal / prog punk brutality, with a crushing bass guitar attack, crusty witch vocals, and fastpaced drumming.

Juxtaposing noise-core, grind and doom, with strong hints of black metal, it's hard to accept the fact that Barbara's instrumental line-up is comprised only by a drummer and a bass player.

This split CD is difficult and pungent, a warm spew in the face and an endless buzz in the eardrum that fiercely occupies the brain and treats the grey cells as if they were an ashtray.

42 MIN of blasting future grind - these 24 annihilating tracks range from ultra blasts to death doom and from black metal to industrial noise.

The Sludge-core scene is injected with a poison: Horror movies DVD subtitles are being gargled and forced into song lyrics, backed up by heavy poundings and black metallic space-rock dirges.

Collaborating Torture - one of the last known recordings made by Matt Gibney, joined here by the prolific Maor Appelbaum to create a brooding and massive 54 minutes track of dark pitch-black ambient of hypnagogic swirls and industrialized drones.

Featuring members of Barbara and Grave in the Sky, this is highly recommended if you like Throbbing Gristle, Volt, Stallagh, Menstruation Sisters and White Mice. Roughly an hour of DOOM NOISE TERROR - 999 copies.
