Track Listing:

01. D.D.T.T.N.B.

This one-sided LP by Blue Sabbath Black Cheer represents a collaboration between the American Northwestern Noise artist B.S.B.C. and Richard and P. Rupenus of the legendary trash noise heroes The New Blockaders. The actual members of BSBC are credited on this recording with the use of "Cement Mixer" and "Cement Mixer Frame," along with the more traditional credits of "Electronics," so you can gather what sort of music is happening on this release. There are no acoustic guitars or psychedelic synthesizer workouts on this release, just an unending barrage of harsh walls of Industrial Noise. These two artists together basically come to a sound that is a lot like the second side of the Macronympha "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania" LP, non-stop Industrial sounds mixing together in a hellish pit of metallic obscenity.

This is a very heavy take on such things and after getting to the end of side one I found myself wishing that there was another side. I am not sure that I can actually "hear" the cement mixer (or cement mixer frame) being used, but it certainly adds a certain something. This entire piece of music is very committed to a Harsh Noise Wall style and is an extremely suitable record for driving the neighbors completely insane. Not for a moment does this track let up from extreme Harsh Wall insanity. No one particular sound dominates, however, and there is a rich palatte of screeches and crunches on this release.

The beginning of the release is more of the scraping metallic sounds, and as the track goes on it becomes more of a crunchy texture. So ultimately, this is a really short release of harsh wall noise that is definitely recommended for fans of The New Blockaders, Macronympha, and violent Industrial-machinery themed noise like that. Very minimal packaging, with a one-part cardstock sleeve that sort of wraps around the sides of the records, meant to be carried in a plastic bag. The presence of the New Blockaders source material is a sure bet, and B.S.B.C. do a fantastic job of matching that landmark group in insanity and intensity. This is an excellent example of completely scum harsh metallic noise, and will not leave your record player for a little while if that is your preferred genre. Top notch.
