Mental Destruction

Here's a few Mental Destruction uploaded mainly for a friend. They refer to their music as "Orthodox Industrial", their inspiration for lyrics lies in their devotion to Christ. A notable work of theirs which is not posted below is "The Intensity of Darkness" released 1991 on Cold Meat Industry, which my friend already had. It should be available on other blogs if it interests you. With releases dating back to 1990 they were indeed part of the growing early Swedish industrial scene. What is it with christian swedes and death industrial anyway?

Kazumoto Endo - Never Gonna Make You Cry (2001) [FLAC&V0]

Some more Kazumoto Endo for you all. This one is really short. I also recommend hearing his album "While You Were Out" for anyone who hasn't already, it should be availible on some other blogs.

VA - Nietzsche's Electronic Music (2001, flac)

Normally I wouldn't post something like this, but Nietzsche makes me look so post-modern and existentialist, fuck yeah. Anything featuring Kazumoto Endo must be worth having too. I thought it was gonna be more noisy though, but this is just tracks of glitch / experimental electronica with only a few noisier parts.

I dislike compilations, I do, some forms of compilations are all right, when it's mostly unreleased material by bands who never really released any albums, like DNA on DNA or a Mars compilation (I will post one later). Worst of all are the "best of" compilations though, it's unbelievable how people buy those.

Anyway this album is from Japan dedicated to Nietszche. Since it's a VA and most of these artists are really obscure, the quality is of course unpredictable, but most of them were at least decent. I was expecting more from the Kazumoto Endo one though.

Flux Information Sciences - Private/Public (2001, FLAC & mp3)

TITS!!!!!!

Anyway, if No Wave really was a genre and not restricted to a certain time, I'd definitely call this this a No Wave band. Since this industrial noisy (post-)punk album was released in 2001 it's not, but it certainly gives you that no wave vibe. Cryptic vocals, abrasive outburst, bizzare & schizophrenic soundscapes, while containing a spirit of post-punk.

Ryoji Ikeda - Matrix (2001)

The first cd is among the most psychedelic things I've heard. It's just droning vibrating frequencies slowly morphing in and out. After a while you start wondering what is actually part of the music and what is only in your imagination. Somehow so strangely arousing.
The second cd is more rhythmical, perhaps more accessible I don't know, but I didn't enjoy it as much.
