HISTORY:
Infidel?/Castro! began as two kids experimenting and
improvising music. With the advent of borrowed recording
equipment, Colin Marston and George Korein began a
phase of building tracks in an open, exploratory
manner, layering electronic, electric and acoustic
sounds, looping rhythms and atmospheric miscellany. This early material is collected on the
cd-r "Infidelicacy". "Case Studies in Bioentropy"
would prove a completely different, unforeseen and
violent new direction, which has guided the band
through the present. Pre-ordained philosophical
concepts guide the painstakingly collaged
electro-acoustic ambient metal destruction of the
Bioentropy albums. "Case Studies.", the first,
diffuses its language component through the voices of
cinema over a melange of dissonance, distortion and
sludge being attacked from all sides by both performed
and programmed percussion, with ambient interludes
providing tenuous meditative spaces. "The 49-Day
Period Between Lives", an 11 1/2 minute track released
on the split 12" with the Friendly Bears, follows the
morbid finale of "Case Studies." by amalgamating
jumbled fragments of that album with those of
"Bioentropic Damage Fractal", which begins with "The
Onset of Life", a jarring (re)birth. On
"Bioentropic." they push this germ until it bursts,
with extremes of density and sparsity, speed and
sluggishness, length and brevity, beauty and ugliness.
An example of lateral movement can be found on the detour "Suicide
Ballads", which leads off the Dead Mind
Records 4-way split CD "Contre Tous". "MSIGWTTH" and
"Exposing One's Belly to Predators" feature such
uncharacteristic characteristics as vocals and lyrics,
telling macabre tales of bizarre methods of
self-dispatch spun from twisted fixation with
real-life headlines.
