RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE THIRD SERMON


THE WARNING WAS POSTED - THE ANGEL OF DEATH IS AT HAND...

Today we present another offering from the year 1995. This is a 7" release from the long-running UK harsh electronics artist Con-Dom.  One assault on each side. The first track is an all-out attack of harsh feedback and repetitive barked denunciations.  The flipside is a more of a rhythmic affair, but still extremely intense and punishing. Everything one could hope for.

ALCOHOLIC SPECULATION



















A SMALL TASTE OF THE ORIENT...

The slab up for offer today is a 1995 cut from Japanese "hard noise" group Incapacitants. Roughly 12 minutes of high-intensity, high-frequency feedback assault. Unrelenting.

Of note: the cover is a cut-up of labels of Spirytus Rektyfikowany - the 190-proof "rectified spirit" popular in Poland and consumed by the hardest-drinking degenerate types you find lurking in the corners and bus shelters of Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

We recommend that you pour your drink of choice and SPECULATE on this record on this cold winter day.

AMES SANGLANTES


AMES SANGLANTES 'L'Existence Des Existences' Tape

Ames Sanglantes is the moniker under which Pierre-Marc Tremblay airs his lone musical grievances. You know him from Akitsa. You now him from Contrepoison. Two songs here. Both powerful. Side A is an ethereal landscape in the trenchs of yesterday. Side B is more poignant. A 9 minute journey of self-realizations and a rallying call to raise the banners! Fantastic stuff, everything this guy does, fantastic.

INDUSTRIAL MURDER/MENSTRUAL BLEEDING























INDUSTRIAL DEATH...
  
As promised, here is another installment of early material by the Italian Master, Maurizio Bianchi. 
If you enjoyed the previous offering, you will enjoy this. One track on each side.
 Take Note  - Side two suffers from some slight surface noise on the vinyl. We ask that you suffer through it.


To quote from the insert,

"MB's compositions are influenced by the power of industrial technology and its dehumanizing effect on society and the individual. MB's electronic storms create images ranging from industrial power to chaos, confusion, and violence."

Pretty much says it all.
Recommended reading accompaniment: Industrial Society and Its Future, by Ted Kaczynski.

The irony of this being a post on a blog is not lost on us.

























"Thanks:
To technological genocide for its inspiration."

DAS TESTAMENT





























 WALTZ WITH US...

THE MANIFESTO WALTZ is dedicated to fine selections of unsettling sounds.
We will be bringing you a broad range of material, roughly hemmed into the Industrial/Noise/Electronics spectrum. 
Music to dance to...

In our inaugural offering, we present:

 Our First Testament to you:

M.B. - Das Testament (Part 1)
M.B. - Das Testament (Part 2)

A definitive early classic from the Italian master, Maurizio Bianchi. His signature 1980's style. Hypnotic, pulsating rhythms. Organic, yet distant and cold. Essential.

Part 1 contain the album as originally presented. Part 2 is an additional track of live material excerpted from a radio show. The live work is a variation on the themes and sounds presented in the album.

This album is not an original rip by us, but most posts in the future will be. We will be digging up some obscurities not widely heard for your pleasure. Bad times abound. Look forward to another work from M. B. forthcoming.

Thanks to S.C. for inspiration/motivation.
