A Tainted Society
- Open Source/Skull Incision Split EP
I fucked this review up completely earlier as I got the
bands mixed up. Now I know who recorded what, it’s time for take 2 of the
review
Open Source start with a strange plinky plonky intro before,
we are greeted with howling wind and a tolling bell, before a musical jewellery
box sound segues into a slow beat. The atmosphere continues to build and just
when you are expecting a huge explosion, it plateaus and stays on the same
steady beat.
The sound quality and the atmospherics are spot on, but
some vocals, even a few screams, wouldn’t go amiss, just to enhance the music.
Skull Incision’s contribution is the colossal 9 minutes
30 second finale of Our Film Jumped Out The Window. Which is the only real song
on here.
As with Open Source’s music, the feel is still of
oppression and droning ambience, but this time you get tortured Black Metal
vocals before a thundering bass rips through the air and the dirge drives
forward with ferocious pulsating beats. Something akin to being pulverised by a
room full of lunatics, all brandishing sledgehammers and with a willingness to
smash your brains in for fun.
This certainly isn’t a pleasant listen, and it’s not
meant to be one. So, if you’re looking for some fucked up ambience, you know
where to look
