Taünt Blood Feud cassette
This is music to raise the dead. They will not wake from their eternal slumber to walk around eating people and looking cool—no, they will just rise from the grave to tell you, in no uncertain terms, to stop that bloody racket immediately. Probably works with the living, too. TAÜNT is from New Mexico, and they are a self-proclaimed noisy bunch indeed. Blood Feud is a lo-fi, primitive-sounding, distortion-drenched demo of what could be best described as “crasher noisecrust chaos” (I copyrighted this one). It can be a bit of a tough listen if you are not quite ready or just have a passing interest in freaks abiding by the “noise for noise’s sake” philosophy. I love the manic, emphatic Japanese-styled drum rolls, the speed, the demented intensity, and of course, the gratuitous screams. The sound is raw, undoubtedly, if not harsh, but you can still understand what the band is trying to create (or destroy) and which tools they brought with them. Not unlike a blend of DEATH DUST EXTRACTOR, ZYANOSE, and ATROCIOUS MADNESS. Good stuff if you are a sonic masochist like myself. Distort New Mexico.
