OUT NOW! Boar "Dead Existence"

Boar "Dead Existence"

pro printed CD

9 harsh tracks total

Musique Machine review-

"Dead Existence" is the first full length pro done CD from this highly creative yet brutal Iowa based harsh noise project.  Boar (aka Alex Nowacki) has been in existence since 2007, and has amassed coming on for 40 releases that take in CDR’s, cassettes, and compilations.   To start with this project was purely HNW, but over the last few years Nowacki has mixed in elements of harsh noise, drone, power electronics, and noisy experimentation into his releases. Many of "Dead Existence" tracks have a groundings with in the HNW sound, but Nowacki often expands & adds to their walled-noise template. The release offers up nine tracks in all, and these each last between just over the minute & a half to just shy of the twelve minute mark- but most of the tracks fall around the five to seven minute mark.  On the whole the album offers up quite a variation in type of track, we go from  the grating &  rapid HNW of “The Dried Socket”, which mixers together churning ‘n’ roasting set/dense crusty static with for forking mid to upper ranged texturing.  Though to the brooding electro noise tone dwells of “Angel Skin Decaying”, which mixes together malevolent ‘n’ purring synth drone sustain, with piercing high pitch tone holds. Onto harsh noise/ HNW crossbreed of “The Fragrance that brought you back” which starts out as thick roasting & steadily galloping walled noise, before getting  ripped ‘n’ pummelled by  searing noise stretchers & churning violent textural slices/ grinds. Onto the last track “Walking Love Corpse” which see the sound move from a  mixture of tumbling yet locked walled noise & piercing drone sustain, onto juddering ‘n’ crusty walled noise earthy brutality  that concentrates on thick billowing/jittering textural sustains, before ending up  the circling grim grey glowing drone repetition. My only criticism  of the album as a whole  is that there are no real long dwells in pure & lengthy HNW composition here, but then again I feel if there had been this might have unbalanced the albums flow somewhat. And I get the feeling this release is being used as a spring-board to get people into Boar’s sound, so longer lasting slices of HNW may have put some listeners off. Clearly Nowacki has taken a lot of time work on and building these tracks, to make this release both brutal yet still relatively approachable to none hardcore HNW heads. On the whole I can highly recommending picking this up if you have any interest in creative Harsh Noise with a HNW or seared yet atmospheric drone leanings.

Vital Weekly review-

Breaching Static magnate Alex Nowacki is the likely-deaf fixture behind Boar, one of the obsessively productive characters of the contemporary noise underground. He's poured heaps of effort into 'Dead Existence,' a half-bleak/half-goofy title that hints at the nihilistic cinder-block of noise contained within. Over nine dense compositions, which range from from one-and-a-half to twelve minutes in length, he strings up a whole miniature world of ugly textures. I really admire Nowacki for concentrating his efforts on this release; whereas it's something of a noise tradition to churn out CDR after CDR of practice sessions, outtakes, and recordings collected while asleep at the mixing board, here Nowacki has directed all his energy towards a polished and coherent ALBUM. Although 'Dead Existence' is a CDR release, it involved a substantial investment: it's been pressed and printed professionally, decorated in a rich, mottled brown that portends its inner grotesqueness. Like most noise releases, it is difficult to identify a theme running through the release - apart from homeliness - and its abstract form eludes attempts to chart a consistent meaning or thesis that binds it together. Yet by wedding these tracks together he underscores the differences in grain between them: the cantankerous gravel of "Memory Lapse/Fuck/Gone," pierced by steamy laser-hits, diverts from the torrential blur of "72nd Death." Elsewhere the listener gets a-spankin' with some wiry giblets of high-pitched squall, which seep in through the chaos at occasional checkpoints. A few interludes even break from the ruckus: these offer an appreciated respite, as evidenced by the ominous "Angel Skin Decaying" and the last-gasp guitar hum that draws "Walking Love Corpse" to a close. As is often the case with noise releases, the track titles often take the macabre factor a tad too seriously, but that alone shouldn't discredit this ambitious work of longform noise. (MT)
