This split cassette between London's BBBlood and Philadelphia's Tinnitustimulus has been a long time coming both sides deliver some ferocious harsh noise, weirdo junk metal, and high end frequencies. Now sold out, it is available as a digital download here.
Paul Watson (BBBlood) has been making junk racket. harsh noise, and bottom-of-the barrel field recordings for nearly ten years now. His side ranges from cut-up sampled metal to paint stripping white noise and back again. Recoded using various field recordings from a local building site, home sampling of a step ladder being scraped by copper piping, and plenty of contact microphone / pedal worship.
Tomas Bennett (Tinnitustimulus)mashing metal coils and bastardizing feedback loops since 2004. His side delivers a full spectrum assault of dense noise and high frequency tones. The second track Ahnighito is punishing! Almost verging on noise wall territory, very fluid changes, and consistent.

"Side A starts with BBBlood and "Crippled". A piece of phazed sonic electronics that (I think) fits in with the HNW movement. It sounded like Cheapmachines to me...which is not a bad thing. The second track is called "Reduced Sentence". A more experimental and acoustic side to the BBBlood sound. Intricate sounds and clever looping and delay effects of metal scraping, doors slamming, objects thrown and general shifting move around the speakers constructing in to a final build and ultimate confusion. Good stuff, the way some of the sounds are looped and repeated to build and fade is listening pleasure."
"Tinnitustimulus. A guy called Tom from New York State. Here he provides three tracks. "Winter Night Barefoot" opens with radio dial static. Dead air space through a multitude of effects. "Ahnighito" follows. A long piece named after the largest iron meteorite to fall to Earth ... Greenland to be precise. This is a classic slice of mid 1980's power electronica - it is in to you like a train. A noise that at times reaches celestial levels...voices of angels can be heard through the madness. I shall play "Ahnighito" once in a while just to remind myself why I like listening to noise."
