Unable to mantain a credible public persona
Love is unbruised knuckles
Listen, bitch !
This is no time fo rthe innocent

How to know love from deceit
Eveyrthing corrodes (SKM-ETR mix)
Xmas
and New Year. I fucking hate them both in equal measure. I’m writing
this on Xmas eve and already I’m in a depressed state full of loathing
at the yearly pantomime I have to perform to keep everyone happy. Smile.
Put a brave face on things. Yeah right. I’ve overspent as usual
and I’m already in deep shit with my bank. To compound matters the
bills have already started coming in driving me deeper into debt. Thanks
Mr Postman Pat. You can’t deliver my parcels but by fuck you always
get the bills through on time. I need the gas and electricity and phone
bills given to me 2 days before Xmas like a dose of the clap. Add to this
my beloved ones inbreed family of retards coming to eat me out of house
and home and expecting expensive presents in their needy greedy piggy
ways and it’s no wonder I feel the way I do. Need release. Need
something that expresses all my rage boiling away
rotting my soul and sapping my will to live. Thank fuck for NTT.
"The Arrow and the Wound" is the latest release from Mr Sickness
himself taken from a limited edition CDR of 20 copies on the Annihilvs
label with, I believe, additional tracks as a bonus. Brutal and confrontational
power electronics is the name of the game. Here NTT is as relentless in
his pursuit of total noise as ever with a relentless pounding noise that
pummels and pounds eroding the senses. Dealing with his popular subjects
of sex and death he cleverly incorporates the diligent use of samples
and some beat driven parts with even strangely serene passages to counter
the distorted screaming almost unintelligible lyrics and blasts of white
noise that mostly prevail. Although not quite up there with his magnificent
opus "The church of dead girls" it remains a potent recording
seething with lust and hate. Power electronic music can sometimes be a
stagnant mess stuck in the mindset that non stop overblown noise assaults
set over a recording is enough to appease most fans of this genre. Thankfully
NTT never falls into this category as his music retains a depth of ideas
and originality that takes the concept of noise as music into another
level.
With additional contributions from T. Spann, M. Slagle, SKM-ETR and others
and coming in a digipak with stunning inside pictures guaranteed to set
male pulses racing, unless they’re gay of course, "The Arrow
and the Wound" is one hell of a fucking recording and the perfect
antidote to all the pretend happiness on show at this time of year. ‘Tis
music to calm the savage beast within all of us or throw us Lemming like
over the edge of sanity and reason.
