To preface this post, I would like to say that this is not a review, but a "news" post about the first release for the label I'm doing with my good friend and fellow ICDT contributor Colman, which is called Katorga Works. Obviously, we would like you to buy a copy of this 7", but we believe all music should be free, as well as want we as many people as possible to hear it. Plus, we don't want to look like complete hypocrites! Anyway, this is a dream first release for us and it's been great working with the bands. To keep things as objective as I can, I will post the descriptions written by SPHC-head and Lotus Fucker frontman, Kamikaze Dan:

"One side: Elderly English gentlemen churn out three songs of systematically perfect Swankys-worship. Braindrill guitars and obnoxious vocals wailing the greatest lyrics ever penned by man. Two short/fast/loud ragers, their meanest songs yet, and one mid-paced ode to Princess Wanky, every noisenheimer's wet dream.
Other side: Record/mixed/mastered in one day at Charm City Art Space in Baltimore. A two song statement about the unity and continuity of our existence and the world around us. As we are parts of a larger whole, so are we wholes composed of multiple parts. Everything is interlinked, interdependent. There is no "begin" and "end"; it's all the same. The music is still one giant wall of fucked up noise and distortion, punky beats and rabid vocals, fits squarely into the "raw hardcore punk" category.....but more of an emphasis on dynamics and repetition than on the previous LP."

This is available now, as well as with copies of the Chaos Destroy (released solely by SPHC in conjunction with this split,) the Lotus Fucker LP, the Silent Way LP, three Wankys releases available on their tour with Lotus Fucker and Chaos Destroy, as well as, randomly, some copies of the upcoming ®SMUT LP by NYC's Pollution.
