DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Putrid, primitive power electronics and demonic harsh noise collide on this slab of sonic filth from Sanctimonious. Hypocritical Sages is the only release to date from this extremely obscure, anonymous project, a twenty-four minute cassette released by the Italian PE/noise label Nil By Mouth in an edition of one hundred copies. The six tracks featured on this tape fall firmly within the realm of old-school, low-fi power electronics, made up of relatively short, four minute blasts of screeching feedback, rumbling filthy low-end noise, rhythmic clank, grating machinelike loops, and heavily distorted vocals that veer between a belligerent, guttural, slavering, almost death metal-style bellow, bouts of frantic screaming, and an evil reptilian sneer. The whole sound of this tape is rooted in that classic PE sound pioneered by the likes of Sutcliffe Jugend and Con-Dom, produced with a low-fi recording quality that is crucial to the clandestine feel of these electronic noise assaults.
The tape starts off with the monstrous, garbled sonic horror of "Guiltsick", and from the start this stuff is shot through with all manner of swarming black drone, squealing feedback, juddering engine-like rumbles, layers of monotonous metallic whirr, and racked by passages of brutal metallic percussion, violently loud pounding against metal, in simple repetitive rhythms while searing feedback and droning black synth drones pulse through the mix. The acoustic sounds that make up much of the background of these tracks are smeared in heavy doses of delay, a dense oceanic roar of crushing distortion coursing through the depths of almost every single track on this tape. Each one of these six blasts burn bright with rage before fading into oblivion, slavering industrial attacks that seem to move at a slower, more determined pace, a suffocating atmosphere of abject dread cloaking the recording, fueling the spiteful assessments of organized religion in all of its forms. There's nothing here that re-envisions that established power electronics aesthetics, but it's delivered with a maximum level of hatefulness and heavy aural abrasion that makes it a winner in my book. Mutants into the heavier, more ferocious end of ultra-noisy modern PE a la Grunt, Bagman and Bizarre Uproar will particularly find this of interest.
Released in a limited edition of 100 copies, and housed in a cardboard box along with a foldout poster insert.
