Spinning Desolus' Dwellers of the Twilight Void without any knowledge of the band, one would think this is a reissue of a thirty-plus-year-old thrash album. However, this is the now four-piece's soon-to-be-released sophomore LP and follow-up to their acclaimed 2024 debut, System Shock. If one's old battle vest and bullet belt could form a band, there's a very good chance it would sound and look like Desolus. And while Dwellers of the Twilight Void may not break any new ground or end nuclear war, it's a fun thirty-six minutes of metal thrashing madness.

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.

The Beast and the Vixens (aka The Beauties and the Beast, and Desperately Seeking Yeti) is a 1974 erotic/ comedy/ bigfoot horror movie from director Ray Nadeau (producer of Snakes, Ride the Hot Wind and The Midnight Graduate), The Beast and the Vixens remains his only directorial effort. The cast includes Jacqueline Giroux (To Live and Die in LA, American Sunset and The Sexcapades of Don Diego), Russ Meyer alumni, Uschi Digard (Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, Supervixens and Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks), Marius Mazmanian (The Vanishing, Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman and Video Vixens) and Susan Westcott (Drop Out, Blood of Ghastly Horror and Hollywood Babylon)
Black Square finds this Izmir, Türkiye-based project presenting us with a slice of bleakly churning ‘n’ cluttering walled noise. Featured here is a single, around twenty-minute track, which manages to be both void-numbing and low-key choppy.

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.
Tear Of Fire severs up a continuous rolling ‘n’ roasting mass of walled noise from this Polish project. The single ‘wall’ comes in at just under the twenty-minute mark- remaining firm and focused, with its constantly flaming flow throughout.
