Public Guilt isn?t the most prolific of labels releasing noise/experimental recordings, but its quality standard ranks them among the most notable. After taking co-credit for the massive 3CD ?Untitled? box set, PG has picked out one of the more obscure contributors and given them their debut 3? CD. Decimation Blvd. is Tradd Sanderson?s solo noise project. His previous work includes a stint as the ?Noise Choker? for Cream Abdul Babar, a laughably titled noise rock band who has a 2CD compilation on PG which I?d love to get my hands on. Decimation Blvd. is geared toward the noise crowd and will be a demanding listen for most anyone. But rather than endless harsh static blasts, the sound palette is more varied, often including heavily manipulated electronic percussion amid a storm of high-pitched and distorted attack sounds. The six tracks vary in intensity and atmosphere making this a satisfying 3?. The opening track is a misleading, short bit of space drone before breaking into the percussion-driven ?Circuit Party?. ?Your Book Is Overdue? falls back on a more familiar harsh noise style, but is no less intense. As it slowly calms toward the end, ?Midnight at the Gravel Factory? rips in with overdriven feedback before becoming so torched by distortion, only a thick, uneven resin formulates which eventually explodes into white heat Merzbow muffle. ?Gene Activation? has the rhythm and distorted bass wall that sounds a lot like what Josh Lay has been putting out. ?Put Your Hand in the Fire? may seem like a stiff, vocal-less Sword Heaven, but that banging on St. Peter?s gate is a hell hammer boring in to let the punk distortion drive its way through and burn it down. Overall, a truly intense, ear-blistering listen that definitely offers a wide view into what?s to come from the project. Couple that with some excellent packaging which includes the orange and black three-fold sleeve, sticker, and sparkly insert that is above and beyond the measly four bucks they ask for it. Yes, it?s limited to 100 so get it soon and peruse the high quality output from Public Guilt while you?re at it. 7/10 -- Kenneth Zubiate (5 December, 2007)
