Italian metal whirlwind, Andrea Bruzzone, is back with his ambitious, chaotic, and delightfully progressive solo project, Bekor Qilish. Consecrated Abysses of Dread is the third outing, pushing the project into the further reaches of creativity, mixing avant-garde ideas with brutal riffing and percussion. Helping Andrea out on this epic quest, a few guest artists (Mick Barr, Gabriele Gramaglia, Lisa Voisard, Saprovore, and Mauro Scarfia) lend their talents to thicken the mix and help bring Consecrated Abysses of Dread to dizzying heights. Fans of Cynic and Athiest take heed, as this album is a fastball right down your alley.

King Futile is the new project from Scotland-based Lea Cummings( Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc), and it’s a big departure from his normal noise or retro sample & electronica sound. It's lo-fi acoustic music, with an outsider feel, and often quite tongue-in-cheek/ sharply sarcastic tone to the lyrics. So far, the project has put out three albums- Casual Misery, How To Have Fun, and Zen As Fuck. I tracked down Lea for an email interview.

4326 is a forty-five-minute slab of walled noise from this Wisconsin-based project. It brings together bassy brood, circling hiss, and uneasy scrap for a moody and deeply oppressive noise ride.
Here’s a self-titled debut album from this new Italian wall noise project, which focuses on creating bass grinding and static searing HNW. The digital album consists of four fifteen-minute tracks, with a total runtime of one hour.
Foul Synapse is intensely rapid, galloping, and baying slab of walled noise from this Illinois project. It’s a single track at around the thirty-one-minute mark, and boy, is it an unrelenting ride, with some nice shifts really upping the intensity of the whole thing.

Cliff Twemlow On Severin
One of last year’s real big surprises in the world of Blu-ray box sets was Bloody Legend: The Complete Twemlow Collection, as it was a wholly entertaining, fascinating, and at times heart-warming set. The Severin released boxset brought together the work of one of the UK’s unlikeliest movie moguls- Cliff Twemlow, a Mancunian bouncer/ body builder, who went on to write/star in/produce a series of low-budget/ largely SOV films in the early 80s to early 90s- these moved between action, thriller, sci-fi, and horror. His most notable/notorious film was 1983’s G.B.H., which landed on the video nasty list, though he was connected to other ten feature films, many of which got their first real full/proper release on the boxset. Opening up the set was the excellent 2023 documentary Mancunian Man: The Legendary Life of Cliff Twemlow, which really pulls you into the set. I caught up with Severn’s David Gregory and Jake West, director of Mancunian Man, to discuss the boxset and all things cliff.
The Fall
MES( Mark E Smith- The Falls main creator) possessed the ability to cram phrases into impossible spaces - “I’m hunting and I’m trying to find” delivered as “hut’na tryna find”; the eight-syllable “mere pseud mag editor’s father” hastily squeezed into a manipulation of time and space, heralded by the prior line “twice each at least”, the latter naturally repeated thrice.
Crude ‘n’ Hope-corroding Walled Noise
Back in 2024, I got my first taste of Absurd Reality, and I was so impressed by how crude and nasty its take on walled noise was. Behind the project is South Carolina-based Krys Marshall, who also runs the Filthy Sounds Recording label. He’s since gone on to form No Fun HNW, which pushes the levels of nasty crudeness even more. Krys kindly agreed to an email interview.
Creepy Images Books
Of all the cult/exploitation genres, Giallo stands as one of the more visually & art-based- be it with the grand/ dramatic location, choreographed murder scenes, or great poster art. The focus of this interview is on the last of these three- looking at the two classy/ glossy full colour Giallo Posters books put out by Germany's Creepy Images. Below is an interview with Thorsten Benzel, one of the key minds behind the books. To date, there are two volumes, with a third coming next year.
