Well, lately my playlist has been extremely weird. This project with long and strange title is Daniele Santagiuliana artistic initiative and not grindcore as the title suggested at first. This is not the only Daniele's project leaning towards industrial, but this one is "based on the harsher artistic path" than the others. I find it weird to describe the project like that with discography of 2 CDr, but let it be. If I decipher the title correctly, it is formed from names of two persons - writer Edgar Allan Poe and serial killer Albert Fish. This is mentioned in manifesto too, which is included together with the razor blade inside the black envelope. Manifest is not too long, rather artsy and the word "horror" is repeated many many times in it. There are 3 tracks in the disc with the total playing time of approximately 45 minutes. Album starts with a few seconds of horror ambient and the human voice joins in, speaking about various so called "horrors" and "perversions" etc. I've found it written in the description of the project that Edgar Allan Fish Memorial Center focuses on spoken word and long suites and I can only hope that this is not Daniele's voice that we hear in the first track because I can barely listen to this spoken word. Voice has several layers and is under minimal effects I think, but it's disgusting. It sounds like really cool dude talking while being high - intonation is deplorable, timbre is horrible and that ruins the first track completely. I'm glad that there are no more spoken word left in this album. The second track starts with the metal clangs that slowly moves towards a rather decent horror ambient - samples on top, synth notes and low pitched voice. I don't know if it's the format or the record itself, but irritating ticking starts from the second track that goes to the very end of the album. The third song is the longest one, but I think it could be as well cut into smaller parts since it's the 28+ minutes collection of longer and shorter sound segments. Field recordings of scotch being torn apart and something being broken sound truly nice and because of the good mastering job, the impression of wide space is formed. Other sounds are beats of heart, continuing for very long and various sounds put on top of it - samples, synth and song of a girl, appearing out of nowhere (a very nice part of the track where after 10 minuets of experimenting with sounds, they become silent and you are left only with the girl's voice. Anyways, that ticking makes me mad) and it goes on and on like that. From time to time it leans more towards horror ambient, then towards more experimental sounds etc. I wouldn't be surprised if it would be the record of some artistic performance or something like that. The nicest part starts when the track goes to the second part - rhythmic metal percussions, rumbling notes of synth and you get not too interesting, but quite traditional and decent industrial sound. I was always in conflict with those artsy things and I feel something pretentious going on on this disc so I'm packing this CDr and hide it in the shelf.
