December has been a slow month for us catching up on various projects but here's a new review and we'll be releasing our year end stuff over the next few days but here's our last review of the year ---- . . "Pulling from John Oswald’s “Plunderphonics” and Negativland’s “Christianity Is Stupid”, “Hope In Hell” blasts short, dense, collage critique splatter offerings of religious and capitalistic confusion, alienation, and so much more and less., In terms of sound art/collage, these short works are dense, impactful, complex sonic vignettes into a twisted world of confusion and alienation, and well, philosophical blindness. Some of the stronger works on this shuffle friendly journey through cut and paste absurdity are “God’s People” > “Transformation Energy” > “Make Me Present”. This work oscillates between comedy, critique, and absurdist / dada tendencies to create a dense, dark, cut and glued critique of world’s interpretations of the unknown. Dense, fun, well done and sonically interesting collage work. “The Big Drum In The Sky Religion is a shape-shifting confederacy of dream wanderers, spirit warriors, entheogen casualties and miscreants assembled for the purpose of altering the collective unconsciousness and bringing about the total Ecstatic Awakening of All Sentient Beings and Union of the All and the One through the use of polyrhythms, fuzzboxes and senseless banjo abuse. Dilute! Dilute! OM“ . .

Newest review is up at www.decaycast.wordpress.com . . "Cleveland, OH mainstays SHADOWS is David Russell and Wyatt Howland (and at least for this release are assisted via the sonics of Roman J. Leyva) crafting their dark, horrific, take on the legacy/story of Batman through mastered techniques of harsh noise, drone, percussion and dynamic mixing and editing techniques. The sound of SHADOWS seems go evolve with every release and “Knight’s End” is no different. Beginning with a murky, distorted rhythm we are quickly whisked away into a harsh symphony of ringing, clanging, scraping; attack on the ear and the “fearless”? The sound of shadows is physically manifested through the black clad, pointed eared upside down man of the night. “Knight’s End” fuses longer drone sections, which contain a rather cinematic arch to their presentation, slowly beginning as a low, slow sine wave and over the course of a few minutes, escalate into a cavernous, yet detailed sonic explosion of harsh noise, voice, and percussion, a masterfully blended evil sonic stew leaving the listener with a tense, uneasy feeling, which for my ear canal is just perfect" . .

DECAYCAST Reviews : "The Lickets "Raise The Red Lamp" (2018) . . . By Diego Aguilar-Canabal . "It’s hard to believe this is the same group that made the lush, eternal dream-drone of Song of the Clouds, now churning out succinct, rhythmic folk meditations that I’d be tempted to pair with minimal techno club tracks, but here we are. In late 2010, as a college freshman, I ventured out in pajamas to see the Lickets perform their unique blend of ambient folk in a secluded grassy glade, at a tent that doubled as a promotion for a study abroad program in Germany. (The latter was an abject failure; the Lickets had more of an audience than the free beer and pretzels.) In the waning days of a misfit adolescence that was giving way to a brooding, ruminative and curious young adulthood, the Lickets proved a perfect gateway to an early 20s spent engrossed as much in Schopenhauer and Eliane Radigue as in Tim & Eric and Tinariwen" . .

DECAYCAST Reviews: DAHB “VISIONS FROM AN ASTRAL CORE” . "Dahb hails from Philadelphia and plays mid-tempo, angular, rhythmically complex, thrashing metal/metal core. At times operating more in the black metal style before quickly and swiftly switching the riffs and focus for a more angular, choppy melodic style. The vocals are typical of the genre, somewhere between yelling and anguished screams, they sit atop the drums and shredding guitar perfectly. A standout aspect of “Visions from an Astral Core” is the complex rhythmic relationships between the drums and guitars, both firing in oppositional machine gun like rhythms, with dissonant, archaic strums atop the chopping riffs and blasting, rapid fire drums. The track slowly turns into an abstract, atmospheric improvisation but Dahb never loses its poise or complex style. The improvised tail provides a nice crescendo to the track showcasing both their technical prowess as well as their ear to listen. Dahb’s strength lies within this compositionally and rhythmically complicated dynamic, giving them a heavy, unique sound all their own for fans of both technically proficient and chaotically charged heavy metal ." .

"BUCK YOUNG “Proud Trash Sound” is one of the most unique, albeit one of the only fusions of contemporary harsh experimental music and western fever dream Americana that I have come across, and what a discovery this has been. From the twisted. hand drawn, scrawly, but beautifully executed artwork to it’s strange, and twisted blending of seemingly unrelated styles and techniques, “Proud Trash Sound” subverts much of what we have come to expect from “harsh noise” or experimental music in general, and turns it’s on it’s ten gallon hat as our brains leak out in a red mess on the floor trying to articulate what this “Proud Trash Sound” is just all about, ya hear?!" .

Decaycast Reviews: CONSCIOUS SUMMARY “EXHAUSTIONS” (SKIN TRADE RECORDINGS, 2O18) . "The sounds of “Exhaustions” pull from harsh noise, drone, ambient, and new age strategies in the best way possible, referencing these historic practices while simultaneously shattering the expectations of what any of these could and should be. Khouja masterfully blends these styles in a hypnotic, meditative tour de force of minimalist contemporary electronic music. “Exhaustions” is not worlds away from the work of say Pauline Olaveros or Terry Riley however it offers its own dynamic breath of sonic interpretation. “Exhaustions” is poised, patent, and all around a profound minimalist interpretation of space, form, tension, and experience. Highly recommended, there is also a special edition encased in a wooden box which looks beautifully crafted, and a perfect enclosure for this cavernous work of experimental electronics and voice." .
