Professionals #1 zine reviewed two of Debila Records' releases
METHADON
FÜR KATRIN RANDOM/OJASENOWAK EP 3”CDR (DEBILA RECORDS – #059) ||
Only twenty-seven copies of this EP exist, documenting one
sixteen-minute composition from the mysterious METHADON FÜR KATRIN
handle. The game here is spacious industrial noise, featuring a
reverberant clamor that seems to originate from the other end of a
warehouse. Amidst it all is the stream of a seemingly illicit radio
transmission, which helplessly flickers against the heavy void. This
grips onto ominousness without resorting to brutal noise
pulverization, which works for me. (MT) ||
VARIOUS
ARTISTS ONLY RICE AND BEANS: 16 YEARS OF DEBILA RECORDS 3”CDR
(DEBILA RECORDS – #058) || A list of heavy-hitters graces this
diminutive tribute to Debila Records' sixteen year history. Debila
head Nejc further dedicates the disc to a list of pioneering
Slovenian noise labels with colourful names: Beer Records,
Fuck-U-Tapes, Coca Core Tapes, Abnormal Tapes, etc. It's a wonderful
artifact that does due justice to its small but persistent scene.
Among the noise kingpins represented are the suffocating hate of ÂMES
SANGLANTES (Canada), the corrupted-file terror of HINYOUKI (Spain),
and the strident chaos of NAPALMED (Czech Republic). From other
corners come Slovenia's A.U.B., an early Debila act who chuck out a
trio of punishing hardcore blips, and SNAJPER (Slovenia) who
regurgitates tinny noisecore composed entirely of masticated
growl-vox and intermittent pates of junk-noise. Only ERIC BOROS'
(France) dare-I-say-pretty acoustic guitar meditations and
KA-BOOOM!!! and KARMAKUMULATOR's inspired textural experiments break
the flagrantly caustic mold. Also featured: SKLO (Czech Republic),
SONIC DISORDER (USA). (MT) ||
