    Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)

    Here’s another interesting experimental recording, recently released by Unsigned and Blastbeat Worship. Like many other avant-garde outlets, Fixateur Externe are strangers to these pages, and I previously had a chance to review a couple of their releases. Fixateur Externe is more of a collective than a project, mainly because it gathers various Hungarian experimental artists…

    Rovar17 & The Three​-​Brained Robot – Split CS (Alien Seduction)

    Here’s another experimental release worth mentioning that would be such a treat for those who’re not looking out for any particular subgenre of avant-garde music. Both outlets are exploring various experimental genres, so this material appears as diverse and unique as possible. Rovar17 is not a stranger to these pages, and I had a chance…

  • Captain Frederickson – Absolute Disaster

    Captain Frederickson – Absolute Disaster

    Sometimes instead of composing music about serious issues that globally struck upon humankind on a regular basis, musicians feel an urge to record music about hilarious stuff that no one would ever think. Captain Frederickson is one of those groups focusing on the humorous side of life, but still, the group supports charities with their…

    Royal Hungarian Noisemakers – Le Roi Est Mort CD (Unsigned Records)

    Royal Hungarian Noisemakers emanate from Budapest, Hungary. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with this live act, but also to experience their live performances a couple of times. Whoever experienced their live performance, left with the impression there’s a lot more going on, mainly because of the presence of both analog and digital…

  • Chaotalion – Tannenholzrauch CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    Chaotalion – Tannenholzrauch CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    Attenuation Circuit Records have been rumbling around for a while. It’s mindblowing how much effort Sascha puts up into his releases, shows, tours, and his activism on the contemporary avant-garde scene skyrocketed the label to the top. It’s no wonder why this is the case considering the number of releases Attenuation Circuit has managed to…

  • Consume And Expire / Sexy Crocodile For Dinner And Diva Caramella – Split Tape (Attenuation Circuit)

    Consume And Expire / Sexy Crocodile For Dinner And Diva Caramella – Split Tape (Attenuation Circuit)

    This time we are dealing with a bit more noisy material than before and this split is right up my alley from the very beginning. Harsh at the one point, but still listenable, it’s even suitable for the listeners who are not so much into harsh noise. Consume And Expire is a duo consisting of…
