New METAL DUNGEON animated video for the track GRIDS. Scarey industrial harsh landscape by METAL DUNGEON!!! (1.6MB): METAL DUNGEON "GRIDS"
Reviews:
Here's what VITAL WEEKLY said:
There is not much information on the cover of the Metal Dungeon
release. Or maybe it's more correct to say no information at all. No bandmembers,
no instruments etc, nothing. So we are thrown back to what the music
is worth. Lenghty hardcore droning sounds, the rusty looped
percussion of metal, speaker hum and guitar noise. Some of the sounds
like they have been recorded on an ancient reel to reel recorder and
then spliced together by loops. There is a genuine old cassette feel
to this music, like it is a time warp recording of something from the
late 80s which now comes to us in a digital mode. Nice retro. (FdW)
METAL DUNGEON - GRIDS
In Time Stereo's new series of 3" CDR comes an obscure release by
Metal Dungeon. I have no idea who he or she is, but "Grids" is a firm
excercise in feedback noise. The backdrop is made of an ongoing
rhythm low end noise, over which the feedback does their
improvisational thing. A ten minute travel into hell. Furious but
nice anyway. And long enough to hold ones attention, and short enough
to think there might have been more in there. Comes with an army
patch for your own noise camp uniform. (FdW)
METAL DUNGEON - CELLS
"This release and all other Metal Dungeon releases are dedicated to Maurizio Bianchi", it says on the information that comes along with this release. Metal Dungeon is Wade Kergan and Davin Brainard both playing electronics. Even when dedicated to Bianchi, it doesn't mean it sounds like the old master himself. Metal Dungeon plays short tracks, twenty in total in twenty four minutes and they sort of flow into eachother, so you could think it's one continuos track, or perhaps twenty different cells. It's less noisy than the previous 'Grids' release (see Vital Weekly 434), but it sounds like a good old industrial release. Speaker hum, mild distortion, some synth like sounds and scraping the barrel with a contact microphone. Not too short or too long, this is a very nice noise trip to a well-known land with well covered territory. Big things don't happen here, but that's ok. It's nice as it is. (FdW)
