Get stoked for this little tape. Orlando's new Lower Me Into My Coffin has put out this awesome live cassette featuring recordings from Slavescene's set from Bloodfest 2009 and a performance from MLU (My Left Uterus) at the Green Womb.
It must first be noted that, yes, this is a live tape, but it's certainly worth releasing: the sound quality is quite excellent and not only is everything is discernible, but it captures the live intensity of the bands. Plus, the actual performances are tight and both sets hover around the eight-minute mark, which is so welcomed. Gotta love sets under ten minutes.
The first side is Slavescene's Bloodfest jont. These songs are a huge growth from their first tape, Heaven Only Knows. That tape was certainly great, but over time the heavily-manipulated vocals began to wear on me and even come off as somewhat of a novelty. Harsh words, sure, but it was still an awesome release. Anyway, gone are those effects, and it sounds great. Trevor has a great, manicked yelp and there's no reason to hide that uncle baby. On top of that, the songs themselves are just better and the band seems more thought-out.
The second side features MLU, a three-piece from Nashville, Tennessee. That's pretty much all I know about them, actually, other than being told that they're doing a split LP with the great New Flesh from Baltimore. Their set is less immediate than Slavescene's, but no less rewarding. The lone song of their performance slowly builds before erupting around the three-minute mark only to die back down to a droning finish a few minutes later. For lack of better words, it's great and more people should check this band out. I feel like I'm shortchanging them here, but I don't know what else to say. It's just one song!
Even though this is a live tape and Slavescene's 7" just came out on Deranged, this is by no means a stopgap release. Aside from the high quality of the music, the packaging rules: NAC Pro Printed Tapes and limited to 200 copies. This is an excellent first release from this label. I don't actually know if there are any copies left, so I guess just email the dude to ask. He's nice!
