Gomeisa - Blossoming Flesh [Praire Fire Tapes - 2010]

Blossoming Flesh’ sees Canadian based Gomeisa pushing thier sound more towards focused, thick & tar black Harsh Noise Wall making. Cutting out of the dark ambient & Harsh noise touches that appeared on the projects last few releases.

On offer here is a c39 minute worth of grim & blackly tinged Harsh Wall Noise matter & it all starts off with an five minute track entitled ‘Blush’ which finds Gomeisa emitting this rewarding speaker vibrating low, doomed & slowed motor bike like engine looped purring texture; which has a nice crusty & blacked edge about it. Next we have ‘Calla’ which takes up the rest of side one & this comes in a lot thicker & louder then the first track. It’s also a lot more activity & shifting textures with-in it’s tones & general sonic progression. It starts off with this slightly wonky, crusty galloping & deep juddering selection off tones which sounds like a out of control train on bucked & bent railway tracks roaring along hell for leather. Ever so often the tracks pulled back from it’s rolling & violent sonic trip for a thinning out of tones & a sudden extension of one of the tones in the sonic caustic weave before it once jumps back in again. There also the odd dab of strange & guttural inhuman bays & shifting of roaring textural plates here & there along the way and the track also returns to  bass muffled loop roll of the first track just before it ends. Yet for all it’s progression & movement it still stays fairly disciplined & focused in it’s intent & body rolling & hope crushing focus.

Flipping over to side two & we just have a single track entitled ‘Thorns’ and this seems to ups the intensity even more than side one as it comes in with this very urgent, rapid, stuck & thick machine like loop which sounds like a near burnt-out rotating polishing wheel that’s undercut by it’s slightly arching-out motor. It’s damn hypnotic & deeply unforgiving in it’s constant & aggressive state, through as the track moves towards it’s just under midway point Gomeisa very cleverly turns one of the tone strands into a more chugging stream train like attack; yet it never lossers it’s pace or looped pattern. It’s an great piece of highly trace inducing HNW matter & one of my favourite tracks by Gomeisa I’ve heard thus far.

All told another excellent & highly consistent release from this prolific Canadian project. Both sides of the tape show a great understanding of what makes top-notch HNW yet it also has a very distinctive & atmospheric flavour  about it too. I really can’t wait to hear what Gomeisa will do next.
