| july 2010 release ; ... feeling this current wave of groups, pushed through the contemporary noise scene & spit out the other side with their aesthetics altered to include not just the ultra-gained caterwaul, but more lamimar motion(s - see perispirit, pedestrian deposit) dotting the proceedings to make said all that more effective ...
case in point this debut disc from the cathode terror secretion’s jesse allen & diaphragm’s nick pace ; both responsible for their fair share of sandblasting over the past few years, but here an almost winsome quality opens most of the pieces ; tonal beds of guitar & ambiance that do gradually give way to worlds-end histrionics ... but it’s a slow ride that covers most of the dynamic bases & we’re richer as listeners for having been taken slowly up the mountain before being pushed off the other side ... |

sem-016 cowards 'forgotten resonance' cd
new york city's cowards, made up of jesse allen (the cathode terror secretion, migrations in rust) and nick pace (diaphragm) are part of the red light district collective, in which a handful of ambitious musicians explore a wide swath of what is known as modern noise; groups such as yellow tears, halflings, the cathode terror secretion, among others.
with their debut 'forgotten resonance' cowards have stepped up the game in contemporary industrial/noise music. equally informed by harsh noise, industrial, musique concrete, black/death metal, world/ethnic, ambient and classical music 'forgotten resonance' is an album that is both physically and emotionally engaging the whole way through. the compositions are are extremely sectional and linear, they rely heavily on tension and release. heavy use of dynamics, thick clouds of natural and electronic sound, and dense tonal harmonic beds help to expose these emotions. a man looks at himself and he can see the apathy in his own life and his apathy towards the end times. this is music for the end times.
