The Cherry Point - Night of the Bloody tapes [Troniks - 2006]Night of the Bloody tapes invites you through serrated flesh flaps, into a chocking and distorted world. Where the skies are black, cracked by crimson scars, and there’s just endless twisting and turning of sound molecules in the air, shadowy figures seem appear and disappear into skeletal forest that weeps, down into the strangely maggot flesh coloured earth. On offer here are four untitled tracks, lasting in all 40 minutes, which really does seem to cut you off from the world around you, sucking you into its decaying womb. Sour pitch's of noise twist and struggle to be heard against the constant brooding storm of cloud like rumble and heavy black static downpours. Strangely I find it oddly inviting, I can’t seem to stop play the damn thing. Each new play seems to uncover new angles to its black hulking shape. I find it most satisfying as one 40 minute hit, but if one would have to choose a highpoint. It would be the stabbing and bending steel pulses of the last track, they seem to cut sinister pictures in to ones mind, as they judder and violent push there way out of the rumbling cannons of noise.
Like all good noise, it demands to be played on a decent stereo, with decent head phones, so you can, experience and examine every blemish and hellish contour of its hypnotic sound world. Go here to buy direct and hear sound samples Roger Batty
