BEREFT / FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'MA/PE/FU' LP (Existence Establishment)
Massachusetts Power Electronics heavyweights go head-to-head in the first volume of the MA/PE/FU series. Fire in the Head is Michael Page, the prolific artist also behind Sky Burial and Irukandji who hails from Cape Cod. On Side A FITH offers a fast paced whirlwind of unrelenting noise complemented by ambient interludes, frantic samples, and rhythmic mayhem. Side B features the forsaken death industrial tinged power electronics of Salem, MA based Bereft. The brothers in arms behind this 2 man operation being Peter Lee of the long-running Force of Nature label, and Andy Grant who solos as The Vomit Arsonist. Bereft present a screeching feedback assault layered over heavy industrial rhythms to form 2 solid tracks of razor-sharp dissent. The line has been drawn. Ltd x 300 individually numbered copies with poster and insert.
