Walter, Weasel - Skhiizm
SKU
Ug 70
I have always enjoyed and appreciated WW's 'truth in advertising' hype copy, but this is one of my favorites [so far]:
"Weasel Walter's "Skhiizm" is a one-man album of terrifying, shrill, chaotic, noisy, no wave, skronk rock played on guitars, drums and electronics with totally devolved white noise vocal grunts. It is the sound of mania, destruction and obsession. People who like "Revenge of The Flying Luttenbachers" will most likely be into this. There's no jazz on this one, folks.
"Skhiizm" is a Weasel Walter solo album consisting of seven loud, dissonant, obnoxious compositions, six of which are short and one, very long. It is likely that it resides somewhere in the vein of so-called "Noise Rock" or "No Wave". It is pure sonic terrorism, driven by alienation, cynicism, and anger. Weasel Walter is the sole performer on "Skhiizm", executing all guitars, drums and electronics as well as bellowing up the noxious clouds of processed vocal noise which swath this illogical, polluted set of aural scaffolds.
The guitars are relentlessly shrill, aggressive and irritating. The drums tend to be angular, simplistic and punishing. The electronic stuff is mostly a bunch of weird noise that rises through the cracks sporadically. The role of the vocals on "Skhiizm" has devolved into a set of slate grey blankets of thick distorted static, imparting no positive meaning. The imaginary lead singer of this fictional "Skhiizm" band has no message, nothing to say, and, in fact, can barely muster the momentum to emerge from the dark, musty cellar he dwells in.
The song titles will suffice instead of lyrics. The music is mostly pointless destruction and ugliness. You see, this whole thing is a nightmarish mockery of a "rock band" which only exists in the mind of Mr. Walter, and on this CD. Play loud and die."
