SEWER ELECTION & TRERIKSROSET-Killing Sessions CD

SEWER ELECTION & TRERIKSROSET-Killing Sessions CD
TRONIKS/CHRONDRITIC SOUND 2007

Here we have a CD reissue of two older tapes. Besides Sewer Election’s contributions to the “Total Slitting of Throats” release, I haven’t listened to either of these projects before, though after having this CD on repeat all day, my interest is definitely peaked. The style of this release would probably fall under the ever so popular Walls, though it holds a classic 90s noise era tape vibe to it, really raw and really violent. The CD is split into two 30 min tracks, which I assume each track being one of the original tapes. The walls aren’t so militant, giving much room to breathe and shift into different movements. Something that I really like about this release is that the walls aren’t so precise and blistering; in fact, the overall volume is below average. Giving the whole release a real dirty grungy sound to it. The sounds themselves vary greatly, nicely shifting and cutting into the next movement; from low end rumble to screeching backing feedback and everything in between: all combining to create a throwback to 90s crunch obsession.
