Heil Spirits "Tracing New Swords for Chasing Oblivion and Other Collected Sketches"


Immediately after popping this one in and the first noise is made you'll probably think, "Wolf Eyes?" Electronics squeal, squelch, and ricochet back and forth between walls. Total fucked up, gnarly electronics from Heil Spirits. The included description on this one says "This is the soundtrack to the end of days, or at least to society's imminent collapse. Brutal power electronics forged in self-imposed exile from the filth-ridden decadence of this nation's cities." Sounds pretty brutal, right? This description might throw people a bit off though. You might expect some angry kid making noise in his bedroom and screaming over it, right? Well, this disc has a lot more depth than your normal "soundtracks to the end of days," with a mix between squelchy homemade sounding electronics, and you normal, straight up harsh fuzz. He ain't just makin noise to scream over, no, this dudes letting this shit breathe. The only problem with this disc is the feeling of distance between tracks. The first track is totally killer, the next two tracks a more harsh quality, and the final track more lo-fi slow metal bashing. It has more of a feel of a collection than a full, thought out release. As the title suggests some of these are only sketches. Still though, I think you might want to keep your eye on this dude. 6/10 -- Jon Lorenz (20 August, 2009)
