              Release Notes:
              This two disc compilation was put together to fund & celebrate Heavy Focus III
              - the noise/ extreme experimental music festival thatÆs going on over this coming 
              weekend(23rd & 24th of April) in Minneapolis. The two discs offer-up mainly 
              excusive tracks from 22 of the artists performing at fest and thereÆs a lot of 
              sonic & noise bound ground covered here we go from: Harsh Noise Wall, to Junk 
              metal noise, through to churning psychedelic power electronics, onto aggressive 
              & jarring electro beat scapes, through to sour & blacked dark drone matter, onto 
              seared & ear burning harsh noise making & beyond.

              The two discs come in a small light brown card folder with two colour screen printed 
              artwork, which is simply but highly effective. Disc one is entitled heavy & deals 
              more with the extreme & more noise bound side of the fest with names like: Werewolf 
              Jerusalem, Grain Belt, Climax Denial, Being,Wilt ect. And disc two is entitled focus 
              and this deals again with mainly fairly extreme stuff but thereÆs more atmospheric & 
              caustic ambient feel to quite a few tracks here & we have featured on this disc tracks 
              from the likes of Envenomist, Teeth Collection, Cock ESP,Locrain ect. Each discs tracks 
              are fairly short & concise(for Noise based music) and fall between the seven minute & 
              one minute mark a piece, with each disc having a nice & flowing enjoyable arc to it & 
              being consistent, rewarding & worthwhile through-out.

              A few of my present favouritefrom disc one come the form of: the opening metal pummelling,
               rapid drum attack & playful yet violent junk improv meets vocal bay & bark of Squid FistÆs 
              æHall MallÆ. The ripping & violently billowing storm tone dwelling of BeingÆs æTake offÆ. 
              Grain BeltÆs æDevilÆs WhipÆ with itÆs brooding & stuck bass throbbing industrial openings 
              that crack-out into highly nasty yet controlled junk metal lined noise attack. The 
              swirling ,dank and oppressive dark synth drone hypnotics of Wilts æBodies falling AwayÆ 
              which keeps hinting it might sudden go all ouy noise bound, but never does & instead stays 
              very brooding & trance inducing.

              Onto disc two and my current favourites here are: The ritual gong, eerier wind blown 
              electronics & twanging eastern strings ominous spaceiness of JuhyoÆs æThe Buired SessionÆ. 
              Onto the machete hacking & obscenely muffled power electronics sour chopping of Cock EspÆs æ 
              Sliced CuntzÆ. through to the furnace roaring & billowing thick smoked blackness of InfamyÆs 
              æClose The gatesÆ and itÆs short sharp HNW attack that ends nicely with malevolent & 
              swirling dark ambient ritual tone edginess.

              Really thereÆs much to enjoy & investigate where ever you drop down on these two discs as 
              the quality & the sequencing of the tracks is top notch & highly effective through-out. 
              Certainly one of the better extreme & experimental music compilations your likely to come 
              across this year & with this line-up the festival is going to be truly breath takingàso if 
              your in the area of Minneapolis this weekend I say the Heavy Focus fest is a must & if your 
              too far way & canÆt make it pick up this double disc set and see what you missed out on!. 
              5/5
