GREY DATURAS - 'Dead In The Woods' CD (Crucial Blast)
A re-issue of the out-of-print 2004 monsterpiece from the Melbourne trio Grey Daturas. Originally released through the band's own Crashing Jets imprint, "Dead In The Woods" is a massive exhortation of lumbering metallic sludge rock, freely improvised amplifier noise, crushing riff splatter, massive doom and sky-streaking psychedelic corrosion. This re-issue features a full remastering by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound, and comes in a digifile with all-new artwork.
Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) has been gradually revealing another side of his musical persona over the past few years; an obsession with cinematic soundscaping and dark evocative film scores, mutant electronic textures and pitch-black isolationism. This first part of the Audiofilm Series is a terrifying fug of demonic drone that utilises stereo panning and slabs of obsidian ambience, slowly unfolding over the length of the piece to reveal layers of malevolent black drone and unsettling voices, seemingly lost between planes of shadow. Recommended for fans of Lustmord and Scorn. Ltd x 1000 copies in a mini gatefold sleeve with artwork from Seldon Hunt.
Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) has been gradually revealing another side of his musical persona over the past few years; an obsession with cinematic soundscaping and dark evocative film scores, mutant electronic textures and pitch-black isolationism. On this second Audiofilm 3" CD, Scott creates a much more frantic and energetic soundscape, this one alive with minimal bass-shuddering pulses and tone manipulations, layered swarms of insectile electronic chitter, swells of shadowy ambience, brain-melting plasma blasts, and vast tectonic drones. A brief but amazing dose of abstract dark ambient/noise that will appeal to fans of Bastard Noise, Astro, and freaked-out 70's sci-fi synth soundtracks. Ltd x 1000 copies in a mini gatefold sleeve with artwork from Seldon Hunt.
"Requiem", the first score from veteran sound-designer Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed), is a beautiful yet acutely sobering work of profound depth and reach. "Requiem" explores the pathos of death, the burden of guilt, and the weight of consequence in all their stages. Dark Ambient / Drone / Experimental music influenced by Morricone and Popol Vuh and films such as The Shining, Dead Man, Aguirre and more, "Requiem" further establishes Hull as a modern virtuoso. Hardback digisleeve.

WILDILDLIFE - 'Peas Feast' 12" (Crucial Blast)
Vinyl reissue of 2007's "Peas Feast" self-released EP. Mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed). Four lengthy songs of ultra-heavy sludge, crushing glacial metal, psych rock, noise rock and desperate howling vocals. Slow, sludgy and creeping but still unbelievably catchy and exuberant. Although this early material is more immediate and raw than the band's debut album Six, the music is crushing, catchy and totally spaced-out. Ltd x 1000 copies on yellow / black marbled vinyl. Comes with a dropcard that will allow you to download the tracks from the "Peas Feast" EP as well as a digital-only EP titled "Drongolet Demos" with unreleased Wildildlife tracks.
