Boar - Wall Reaper [Breaching Static - 2011]

“Wall Reaper” finds this hard hitting yet creative Iowa based HNW project offering up a single track of thick ‘n’ crushing walled noise matter. The track literal grinds ‘n’ tears you through over it’s near on forty minute runtime, then spits you out at the other end.

The single track presented here comes in at the 37.18 mark, and it finds Boar unfolding a taut yet subtle shifting wall of noise that’s both brutal & rewardingly moorish in it’s unfold. It all starts out with Boar's first use of vocals, as an angered and slightly reverb us male voice yells out  just under two minutes worth of lyrics with-out any noise or background texture present. Then the ‘wall’ erupts in a huge yet tight mass of circular juddering higher bass bound noise, that’s ribbed and weather by smaller jittering ‘n’ juddering static patterns, The ‘wall’ appears to be subtle shifting and moving as it progresses with both elements seemingly altering very slightly as they go along, but of course this could all be the trick of the ears & Boar's weighty yet well layered sonic wall textures.

The whole vocal thing at the start of the track adds another edge to Boar's sound, but I just wish he’d attempted to mix the vocal elements into the ‘wall’ it’s self somehow- maybe he’ll do this in future releases. On the whole “Wall Reaper” is another very worthy slice of taut, hard-hitting and moorish walled noise from Boar.
