about

This split cassette brings together Finland's two decade old project Circle of Shit with Spain's newcomer Soma, putting forward two disparate approaches to the post-industrial style. Conceptual threads are woven throughout, loosely connecting the styles and titles through a phenomenological association with skin penetration and searing bodily pain.

The A side displays the years worth of sound manipulation and technical development you may expect from a project such as Circle of Shit. The second track "Haluan Vain Nähdä Sinun Polttavan," gives a much needed reprieve from the sharp sting of "Urtica Dioica," or common stinging nettle. Translating roughly to "I Just Want To See You Burn," CoS's second track then follows on to the beguiling "Elizabeth Bathory" which lulls us with an initially softer tonal palette.

Having originally been approached by Soma for a full length cassette release, the sharper techniques heard in those original tracks have been maintained and developed into a more dynamic industrial noise style. Soma's material on this split is far more direct. The two tracks continue the debasement, floundering through several motions before settling in for a solid 28 minutes of aural abuse. Live vocals are introduced to the mix, exemplifying how corporeal the output of this project is.

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}
