CD that I am listening to right now is a powerful compilation, coming from controversive Audial Decimation Records. It is enough to list the names of the artists who took part in this compilation. Album is opened by Grunt song "Wings of Revolution". It is an analog machinegun from the very first second with various noises in the background. On top of that - vocals under heavy effects. After this - 88MM, that released their album not so long ago under Audial Decimation. The contribution to this project is their slow and massive "Funeral March of Cosmological Principle". It's like a funeral procession, slowly moving through the ears, but occasionally adding some bright colors in the game - a sound of a synth with a smell of sci-fi-ish taste. Some raw and rough noise from Griz+Zlor and complete terror of Brethren comes next. Dirty and full of hate "Zionist Axiom" spitting between distorted beats. Pure aggression. Next piece is a completely different work of Emil Beaulieau. Somewhere between high frequencies, samples and who knows what a piece of complete non-music is born. Another artist, Mania, shows off his abilities as a dedicated harsh noiser. Dirty high-quality noise in all its' beauty. Afterwards - Prurient "The Shortness of Life". It sometimes seems while listening to this tune that its been composed by at least three artists playing simultaneously. I guess the whole life is showed in these 5:55 minutes, full of unexpected changes and consonances. Then drowning into darkness with Werewolf Ensemble and Grey Wolves. A gloomy tune with mystifying echoing vocal. The longest one in compilation - Pain Nail "Watchtower". It is again oppressive and dark 8 minutes, best described in the Pain Nail page of the booklet: "The only thing you witness is your own genocide". The last but not the least in this compilation - Nefarious Complex rhythmic "Hymn of a Psycho" seemed more as a "March of a Psycho". Eventually, this compilation, extending over an hour is closed by Deathkey song "Monolith". The last one in the album is really strong one. Full of hate, spitting words with powerful noise. The vocal of Deathkey is the greatest one. It comes at you with such heavy effect artillery that it simply puts the listener against the walls by its fullness and power. The overall audio mastering for has not been applied to the compilation therefore the sound is not even and as artists saw it best to be. It sometimes changes the sound level rather radically, especially when loud pieces are replaced with rather silent ones, but overall, it's a weighty and strong compilation that lets to become acquainted with some thereto unfamiliar projects as well as grantin the pleasure to listen to the works of already huge names in the scene.
