...according to our Phil on 31 December 2008.

There's a couple of CD's in this week on Dead Pilot. Here's one of 'em which is by Stefan Kushima and Joey Chainsaw. I fucking love that name.... I'd like to think that it's actually his real name and there's a whole family of chainsaws kicking about. The delight on the mothers face as new baby chainsaw is born must be one of the most rewarding things a human being could ever see. This is a double 3" set and the 1st disc is solely inhabited by Stefan and he makes a massive length of a racket consisting of distorted guitar and feedback. There is some melody in there lurking somewhere or other but it's buried deep.... well deep in fact ....Though after about 10 minutes I felt pretty sucked into it. Joey's disc is more feedback orientated weirdness but this seems to be more electronic based with lots of wierd squiggles and warbles in amidst the insanity. Possibly a bit of Black Dice in there albeit a bit more lo fi and headfucky. Today I feel like swearing.... Limited to 84 copies. It's well bingo here.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Entry number 4 in the split series sees the pairing of 2 great young talents in the noise/underground scene. Stefan Kushima, hailing from Linz/Berlin and Joey Chainsaw, who is from all over the UK. Kushima, known for his releases on Blackest Rainbow and his own label Disappearance opens the split with a 14 minute epic. Beginning with an outburst of wailing guitars, sounding like a sort of satanic cry from the depths of hell, the piece gradually picks up pace with subtle percussion and layers of synth drones, swells and sweeps. When it gets in full motion, more howls and cries dance and echo above the noise. A full on bleak assault. Joey begins the second half of the split with high pitched electronic synth gargles and guitar moans n' groans before taking us into more warm drone territory. The final track combines the above two with haunting broken vocals and organs/synths, all pushed to the red creating a twisted and eerie wall of ghostly noise.

Limited to 84, on 2x 3" discs, held in various types of vellum paper (some patterned, some pastel shades), tucked inside folded card, housed in a plastic wallet. Artwork by Stefan and Joey.
