Vital Weekly 523
review by Frans de Waard
Flutwacht is an active force (in many ways) of Germany's always very strong noise scene, and they (he? she?) has had many releases on many labels. Here they have a split with Synomorph is less known and have only one CDR release so far. The first time I played this release I didn't particular look at the cover, nor read the information, assuming this was a collaboration of some kind. Then it turned out to be a split, but the tracks are not strictly separated (first a bunch by one, and then a bunch by the other), but hustled. Plus there are four collaborative pieces. Not that any of this matters, since it all sounds pretty much a like, with enough variations on the theme. Both bands play with tons and tons of noise (distortion, feedback), layered electronics, occasional machine rhythm (or is that rhythm machine?) and piercing vocals. You can't pin one band down and say what it differs from the other. But as said there is enough variation in these pieces, which otherwise sound like they played their fair share of Whitehouse, Genocide Organ and Ramleh in the past.

Im starken Kontrast dazu steht Fragrance Of Blood (TOSOM X-004, CDR), ein innerdeutscher Split von FLUTWACHT & SYNOMORPH. Permanentes Grundrauschen, oft verzerrte Vocals im Hinter- oder Untergrund, schartig verschliffene und brummig verstotterte Beats und ein noisiges Mahlwerk, umzischt und umbraust von Dampfstrahlen, zeigen genau das, wofür sich Silence als Zuflucht oder Therapie anbietet. Krach, der nervt, und schwerindustrielle Gschaflhuberei, die stresst, werden durch den eigenen Widerhall gebannt, so wie die Medusa durch ihr Spiegelbild in Perseus Schild versteinert wurde. Ich bin mir bis heute nicht klar darüber geworden, ob die Noise Culture aufgeklärt zynisches Desensibilisierungstraining darstellt, einen cool-realistischen Blick auf die dystopische Faktenlage, Identifikation mit dem Aggressor oder eine Taktik des Gegenfeuers. Vermutlich weil sich diese und weitere Motive darin vermengen. Fragrance of Blood spielt mit dem beschleunigten Puls, der Schmerzlust unter Stahlgewittern. Der Krach wird umklammert, nicht unbedingt, um ihn abzuwürgen. Will der Tiger geritten werden? Bekommt Atheismus durch Bibelfestigkeit mehr Gewicht?
