In the world of
Noise and (Post) Industrial, there seems to be no sub-genre that
conjures up more controversy than Harsh Noise Wall (or HNW, in
short). Fanatically adored by some and downright despised by many in
a highly verbal way, this form of mostly static and deep, crunching
noise is certain to provoke at least some kind of reaction. Within
the field of HNW, one of the few projects that surpasses most others
in terms of recognition (and supposedly relevance) is Vomir. In about
10 years of activity, HNW veteran Romain “Roro” Perrot has done
228 releases (according to Discogs) under this moniker – tendency
growing!
“Recouvre la Merde
(en trois Mouvements)” is a full-length album (and with a
running-time of 72 minutes, this classification is to be taken
literally) which was recorded live in 2013 and released by 4iB
Records from Singapore in 2014. First of all, this professionally
pressed and manufactured CD looks great. The cryptical (and probably
symbolical) cover art is accompanied by juicy pictures of women
defecating into each others' mouths and similar Scat imagery, as well
as pictures of Romain playing live with plastic bags wrapped around
his head. Furthermore, 4iB included a small sticker stating the
limitation number.
