I picked this up at the Noah Howard gig last week.  It doesn’t matter how often I see Chris Corsano live, he will always have two or three new records to sell me.  This one was on the generally pretty ace Important Records, so I figured it would most likely be worth ten of my GBP.  I was right.

So, other than me, anyone for another noise supergroup?  Corsano and Trevor Tremaine (Hair Police) on drums.  Brian Sullivan (Mouthus) on guitar, Carlos Giffoni on electronics.  Even the artwork and mastering are by noise artists – Dominic Fernow (Prurient) and James Plotkin – if only they could have arranged for Merzbow to work in a record shop and sell it to you, that would probably have reached noise artists max-out.

Sorry, I’ve distracted myself by thoughts of Merzbow working in a record shop.  Clocking in.  Selling Girls Aloud CDs.  Fiddling with the in-store music system’s speaker connections until they only emitted piercing white noise.  I’d employ him in a second.

Back to Infinite Death.  You can tell by the title and the personnel exactly what this is going to sound like, but that doesn’t make it any less thrilling.  It may help (although most probably it won’t) if I tell you that Track 1 was recorded in the studio, and leaps from the stereo like an army of Lightning Bolt-drawn Ninjas.  Track 2 was recorded live, and sounds like Wolf Eyes being dismembered in a warehouse with hammers and chainsaws and thrown at a wall.  It makes a good Sunday morning 9am wake up call, I can tell you.

Listen to an excerpt of Track 1 here, and of Track 2 here.
Fling some of your GBP (or even better, USD) the way of Important Records and you can have your own copy.
