Tolerance - 26 Raw Trax Demo

Last year this small demo tape became a really big and nice discovery for me. Who the hell could have thought that in the country full of good pagan/black/viking bands, there could be such a small but very stinking boil cyst. Here is some info that I was able to find about this project. This putrid monster is controlled by only one man, Urho (who is also playing in the bands Rust and Beer Terror). In his spare time, this guy likes to ride a sled and the rest of the time he is busy writing a new and nasty songs for his bands. Like in the good old 90s, the cover of this tape is xeroxed and the noise is recorded onto recycled tapes... All this looks like a super cheap D.I.Y, hehehe :). The cassette starts (and also ends) pretty strangely with some electro-trance stuff (hope I’m writing it right, hahah) and then the interesting things begin to happen... A weird smell is starting to come from the speakers. No, not a burning smell, but a smell of rot and mold, and right after that the noise is coming up. All instruments, and I guess sound mastering too, were done by Urho himself, and he did it well. Smeared guitar noise, raw drum beats and an endless stream of distorted gurgling vocals. Despite all of the mud in the sound what we’ve got here are some songs with a strong spirit from the 90s, by which I mean I can really feel the influence of bands, such as Regurgitate, Dead Infection etc). For the rest of the tape, this guy tried to stick to the gorenoise side of things.
