Neuntöter Der Plage – Let Your Flesh Writhe, For It Is Your Time Chondritic Sound – CH-219, 2008
Oh dang - a c70... do I have time to listen to the whole thing? Neuntöter Der Plage was always one of the more mysterious Michigan noise people. He didn’t seem to bro-out with Wolf Eyes and Hive Mind and the like. Maybe - but scarcely. This guy seemed more genuinely out there, doing his own thing, yet with a darkness that seemed much more genuine. I appreciate that this release has actual pauses between tracks. It seems to be made with a higher level of care and attention than many tapes. What’s interesting about this project is that he successfully blends ambiance, noise, power electronics/vocals doom in a seamless way. It seems natural and unforced, unlike many who strive to sit at a similar crossroads of genre and approaches. Anyhow - I recalled having a slightly higher regard for this project and now remember why. I don’t need this tape in my life but someone out there would really enjoy it.
