so my roommate and i went to see wolf eyes a few years back and we had no idea who was openning for them. these two nordic goddesses wearing neckties and dress pants walked out onto stage and set up a table of ridiculous amounts of cords, knobs, clattery shit, and even a broken french horn and proceeded to shatter everyone in the building's mind with one of the most intense display's of harsh noise i have ever seen (and i've seen most of the "greats" many times, most being disappointing). truly, maja rattke has an uncanny ability with her bellows and shreiks, and sofie tafjord can twiddle some knobs like no other. their 10" is brilliant, and maja's solo vocal cd is amazing (i'll post it when i find it... it's in a box somewhere). in any case, they blew minds that night and my roomie and i didn't even stay for more than 5 minutes of wolf eyes... they were doing that billy bass shit and then connelly pulled out a guitar. wolf eyes doesn't have a guitar.
if you like harsh sounds a la wolf eyes, merzbow, emil beaulieu, prurient, or panicsville this'll be up your alley, but there are some industrial/power electronic moments that remind me of bands like bloodyminded or even nurse with wound at times (they shift in other songs and there is a strange stapleton-esque feeling at times... though fleeting).
don't listen to this if you have a headache.
