Discovering MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse's "Live!" album 25 years ago was like stepping into a musical maelstrom that forever altered my perception of experimental noise music.
Introduced to this Japanese Noise band by none other than Matt Wand from Stock Hausen and Walkman, I embarked on a sonic journey that left an indelible mark on my musical sensibilities.
The "Live!" album is a relentless assault on the senses, a thrilling descent into auditory chaos that refuses to adhere to any conventional musical norms. From the very first track, it's abundantly clear that MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse have crafted something truly offbeat. The performance exudes an unbridled energy that is as electrifying as it is sometimes bewildering.
One of the defining characteristics of MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse's live shows is their sheer, unapologetic chaos. The album perfectly captures the frenzied atmosphere that surrounds their performances, with cacophonous bursts of noise, distorted vocals, and frenetic beats colliding in a chaotic symphony. It's music that demands to be felt as much as heard, an auditory roller-coaster that takes you to the brink of sensory overload.
The track "Live In Manchester" funny enough the place I heard them first, is an example of the pandemonium in sound that ensues at their shows. Their freeform attack and hack method of chopping and splicing, frenzied beats and distorted vocal snippets create an atmosphere of controlled anarchy, and you can almost feel the sweat and adrenaline in the room as the crowd is whipped into a frenzy. It's a visceral experience that leaves you both exhilarated and disoriented.
What makes MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse's impact even more profound is their ability to push the boundaries of noise music while maintaining a sense of cohesion and purpose. There's a method to the madness, a deliberate and calculated chaos that draws you in and refuses to let go. The more you listen, the more you discover layers of intricate sonic textures buried beneath the surface.
Twenty-five years later, "Live!" remains a timeless masterpiece of experimental noise. It's a testament to the boundless creativity of MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse and their ability to transport listeners to the edge of sonic oblivion. This album not only shaped my musical tastes but also opened the door to a world of avant-garde sound exploration that I continue to embrace today.
In conclusion, MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse's "Live!" is a chaotic masterpiece that defies categorization. It's an album that celebrates the raw power of noise music and leaves an indelible mark on anyone fortunate enough to experience it. Thanks to Matt Wand's introduction, I embarked on a journey into the heart of sonic chaos, and I haven't looked back since.
