Balata remix on the brand new album by MONE¥I$GOD

January 28, 2010
by finkelbert

(from the HCB newsletter):
We are honored to introduce the anticipated new album by MONE¥I$GOD

It’s time to reveal Japans’ best kept secret!

Fronted by Kan of the legendary 80’s punk-thrash act The Asbestos, MONE¥I$GOD has been flooding the Japanese underground scene with sheer originality for over a decade by practicing their perpetual belligerence and inimitable crossover between virulent sludge-doom, grim noise rock and endless post punk latitudes .

M.A.R.K.Z kicks off with the tribal pummeling of “Cancer” and continues with the supposedly friendly “Murasaki”, but it’s only a devious act of diversion before “Black Rainbow” smoothly barge in with a caustic ska rhythm section, super-thick bassline, and above all, Kans’ matchless gargling vocals that rumble throughout the entire album like a decisive instigator. “Waltz” lashes right after as a scorching crescendo with its’ perforating and frantic gradual guitar parts and functions as a great build up for the epic “Hate Song” – a panegyric-like wayward track of unblemished loathing for humanity. The doom-dubbed remix for “Black Rainbow” by Balata (David OPP & Finkelstein of Lietterschpich fame) is the final aggressor that perfectly ends this veritable album of gashed hymns and surged audacities.

Recommended if you like Killing Joke, Zeni Geva, LEWD, Pailhead, Arab on Radar, Christpunchers, Six Finger Satellite, The EX, Nomeansno etc.
You can check some samples at www.myspace.com/heartcrossbone
and get acquainted with MONE¥I$GOD at www.myspace.com/moneyisgodjapan

The CD costs $10 through the Heart&Crossbone site at www.hcbrecords.com and we charge only $5 for shipping worldwide.

Website updates #2

October 5, 2009

New and old music recently added:

.

2. A brand new live recording from the Ushpizinoize event, last Saturday (see previous news item). Besaye Desatane (בס”ד) is a finkel collaboration with Sachi and Lior of Pica/Cain. You can find it in the Current page, or play it from here:

It’s the first ever Ushpizinoize Festival, a celebration of sacrilege and noise – A blasphemous homage to this ancient Jewish tradition of inviting “spiritual guests” to the sukkah on the seven days of the Sukot holiday.

here’s who’s gonna play:

MALBEN:

pornographic noise and power electronics from D9/Tea with Satan drummer and Dirk Diggler vocalist translating their grindcore aesthetics into something way more twisted and brooding.

BESAYE DESATANE:

Heretic freeform noise from Aviad Albert (Lietterschpich/Finkelstein/

TaaPet) supported by Remesh members.

http://finkelbert.com/music/

COSMOTERRORISTS:

sax player Dirar Kalash joins vocalist Rani Zager (Lietterschpich/Grave in the Sky/Poochlatz/Special Olympics) for a freefall-freejazz-noise harassment.

SANSANNA:

guitar wall of noise from Dukatalons’ Zafrir Tzori – everything that is LOUD from drone to post rock and black metal.
