And finally from me; Cauldhame

[Mike]

Over the years I've tried integrating elements of harsh industrial noise into Axis, Phaleg, Ophiel, practically everything, and it's never clicked. I really love making loud, harsh soundscapes but I've found they totally dominate and trample anything less abrasive than they are. Hence Cauldhame, my dedicated outlet for all things noise, death industrial and power electronics, dealing with my usual preoccupations:

You just had to cover all possible musical and unmusical fields don't you?... This project of yours came by surprise at least for me actually. And given that I'm quite into PE and death industrial for few years already this is (un)pleasant surprise. Thumbs up.

P.S. I assume you did the voice there right?

[Mike]

Haha, guess I do. Next up: a Klezmer/grind crossover band called Klezmergeddon. Or maybe not...

That is my voice, yeah. It's taken me a year and half to decide it didn't sound daft in a harsh electronics context. Then again I suppose, PE has a history starting with Whitehouse of having (usually) softly spoken middle-class English blokes behind the mic...

The second "song" is...oh well....WOW!!!

[Mike]

"Fear Of The Flesh" is now available in full at the following address:
cauldhame.bandcamp.com

A little overdue, but so be it.

[Tyranor]

I really liked this material. I dig atmospheric PE aspects a bit more than harsh ones, and Fear of The Flesh even has some psychedelic edge to it's vibe, which is cool for me. Captivating work.

Oh god no! Please! NO! OH GOD!!!!! *Pulls hair running around screaming* It's just too horrible!!!

In all seriousness though you did a stand up job, been listening to the album a ton lately.

[Mike]

I've uploaded a new track called "The Flagellant of The Wastes" up on the Bandcamp page, from my next full-length "The Wastelands Of Failure". It's one of the more pleasant tracks...

[diffusion]

Ah! This is really great stuff. Look forward to hearing the album.

[Tyranor]

What a lovely track. It almost feels like have been kissed by Kelifoth girl. And that melodic ambience underneath is like a sad remembrance how romantic it was:D
I hear that Mr. Myklon is a bit more angry this time. Good, keep it coming.

I'd love to get both albums on cds rather than just downloading mp3 or FLAC, as this material is worth rather frequent spin in the cd player. Yeah, I'm oldschool like that...

[Mike]

If you're simply distraught about the lack of horrible things to listen to in the intervening three weeks before Tenements comes out officially, "The Wastelands Of Failure" is now up in full.
I was going to leave it a bit longer, given I only put up "Fear Of The Flesh" in January, but from my perspective it's been about eighteen months between albums so I thought I might as well get it out there.

I do fancy CD or some other hard format releases for these but while I've targeted various labels and gotten some polite feedback, nobody's biting at this point and I don't have the spare cash to press them myself in any format other than CDR with B&W xerox sleeve, which I know is often the norm in DIY noise circles, but I'd prefer something a bit more pro.

I'll take it!

Seriously, though, how much for one of each rekkid? Ayrton?

[trauma]

YESYESYESYESSSS!

Er, I mean NONONONONONOOOOOOO!!!! *Grabs hair running around screaming as particularly horrible memories familiarize themselves with me again*

[Dalihrob]

And what about some limited tape run?

[Mike]

Tape would be great, I've fancied having some Cauldhame stuff on tape for a while. Again though, it's a matter of when I'll have the disposable income to do it.
