│ There are only three men that I know of in the world │
│ that could take a violent, graphic image and expose │
│ the beauty of the scene through their │
│ respective art form: Francis Bacon, Gaspar Noe, and William Bennett. │
│ While Bacon and Noe work within visual mediums, │
│ Bennett works with nihilistic descriptions of brutality to a │
│ background of screaming sound textures. │
│ │
│ BennettÆs Whitehouse have become aesthetic poster boys to a new │
│ generation of aggressive young noise makers who are unwilling │
│ to dull their sharp edges for mass consumption. │
│ WhitehouseÆs music tests the listener by exposing them to a singular │
│ barrage of loud, fluctuating high-frequency sound. Vocally, │
│ Bennett shouts over the sonic assault, often giving the effect of a │
│ dictatorÆs passionately shouted public speech. │
│ │
│ Though Whitehouse are over 20 years old, Asceticists 2006 │
│ shows that they have lost none of their vicious streak. │
│ Bennett communicates the brutality of existence so well by │
│ simply portraying it with graphic detail. Not one to pussyfoot │
│ around a crime scene, Bennett puts his nose up to the mutilated body. │
│ The ear-shredding madness that accompanies his │
│ delivery heightens his message. │
│ │
│ Instrumentally, Bennett and Philip Best create some of the most │
│ shape-shifting and sonically varied Whitehouse fare to date. │
│ The distorted computer grunts of "Language Recovery" and │
│ "Ruthless Babysitting" sound like Aphex TwinÆs drill and bass │
│ style played through a broken amp with a layer of hiss. "Guru" │
│ uses one harsh, high-pitch locked groove that sounds like a │
│ two-second tape of a fire alarm. │
│ The lone instrumental on the album, │
│ "Nzambio ia Lufua," is a duet between an organ drone and │
│ dagger-like microphone ejaculation. │
│ │
│ Asceticists begins with an immediate collage of sharp fuzz, │
│ disjointed and distorted drum beats, and screeching tones. │
│ Bennett pens a piece. Best screams a situation for us to fathom, │
│ demanding us to try on a new skin. He commences with a │
│ Phillip Larkin-like rant about how much parents fuck up their kids. │
│ He shouts: "So picture a pet I could teach to dance/ │
│ WouldnÆt you want to see its moves?" Best proceeds to describe │
│ the horrific intents of self-interested parents. │
│ Four stanzas into the song, Bennett paints us a picture of a │
│ suicide bombing. He yells: "Ripped tiny torso: │
│ Nice new sandals/ What Coreography/ │
│ Skinny boy arms form the cross/ │
│ Heavy hand pulls down hard on uniformed mini-muscle. │
│ "A plethora of the graphic, violent, post-9/11 images come │
│ flooding into the mind, and Whitehouse has almost completed the job. │
│ A couple more stanzas filled with horrific imagery │
│ drive the message home. │
│ │
│ "Guru" and "Killing Hurts Give You the Secrets" are companion pieces. │
│ "Guru" takes the point of view of an all-seeing narrator, │
│ while the subject of "Killing Hurts Give You the Secrets" is │
│ lonely and oblivious to the world around him. │
│ The instrumentation on "Guru" is particularly harsh and unrelenting. │
│ Conversely, "Killing Hurts Give You the Secrets" has high frequency │
│ breakouts but is mainly scored by a pulsating, uneasy drumbeat. │
│ │
│ "Ruthless Babysitting" deals with similar themes as my favorite │
│ Whitehouse tune "Why You Never Became a Dancer." │
│ Both songs can be viewed as misogynistic rants but are really portraits │
│ of disaffected souls, dehumanized by sex. On "Ruthless Babysitting," │
│ the backbeat is a roving amalgam of fizz and a fractured drum pulse. │
│ The harshness comes from BestÆs forked tongue. │
│ He roars lines like: "However artfully framed on white gallery walls/ │
│ I can look you in the eyes/ and see what you spend your time doing/ │
│ when it gets dark and messy." │
│ │
│ Whitehouse presents a warning on each one of its official recordings. │
│ It reads: "Warning: Extreme electronic and acoustic music: │
│ Please acquire with caution." │
│ Yet it isnÆt the music that will catch the seasoned listener off guard. │
│ ItÆs the glimpse of the dark side of the human psyche that each │
│ Whitehouse record gives the audience that should warrant a caution. │
