The gimmicks worked! It was released in late August and all 95 copies are gone (tho' I brought mine from Aquarius Records, and I think they still have some in stock).
Overall the sound is what you'd called noise/drone (with a touch of drone doom reminiscent of Black Boned Angel in the middle), the first side being heavy on the former. I tend to separate my drone and noise listening, and while this is not 'metal' per see its framework and ascetics revolved around what I feel are metal ideologies (similar to what Aderlating is). On the surface it feels quite static, a crushing, rumbling of feedback played through a broken amps, but for some reason is peculiarly engaging in visceral manner. Anyway this is what Aquarius had to say about them, in a far more eloquent manner than myself: "A while back we discovered this Dutch dirge / drone outfit thanks to our pals in Teeth Engraved With The Names Of The Dead, and you know when a band like that is raving about something being dark and heavy and bleak and AWESOME, then you best listen, and we did, and we went a little crazy for TC, and were super excited to discover that TC had a new release coming out on one of our favorite labels, Auris Apothecary, who have FOUR different new releases on this week's list (Unholy Triforce, Sitar Outreach Ministry, (((o))) and this one!), and once again, they've pulled out all the stops packaging wise with all of them. Torture Corpse's Ooru Naito Rongu comes packaged in either grey or green scouring pads held together with metal wire, wrapped in a printed transparent Japanese style obi, sealed with a black wax seal, and inside there are printed inserts. It's pretty dang striking, and the rough scouring pads are a hint at the rough and raw sounds that lurk inside, as this is a way noisier proposition than the other TC we reviewed, starting out with a weird bit of super distorted and totally garbled noise rock, which then transforms into a sort of blackened industrial dirge, before finally slipping into a more black and droney drift, but that drift is caustic and chaotic and noisy for sure, a thick corrosive black sonic smear. And so it goes, the sound a blown out, in the red, speaker melting series of jams, dirgey rhythmic krautrock one second, doomy creep the next, stumbling noise rock heaviness one second, and blissed out crumbling Sunroof! style ur-drone the next, everything here slathered in blacknoise, streaks of hiss and whir and shards of keening feedback, all except the nearly nine minute closer, which is a surprising bit of dreamy droney drift, complete with some strange haunting vocals just below the surface. This definitely benefits from headphone listening, but either way, like the other Torture Corpse (and the other AA stuff), totally recommended." Oh, and the album is up on Bandcamp if wish to have a stream. I'd suggest stick it out in its entirety as while it is divided into tracks there's an, almost, organic flow between the pieces, which I feel work like movements making up a larger whole http://aurisapothecary.bandcamp.com/album/aax-052-ooru-naito-rongu |

![]() Found this in a charity shop of all places for �3. Always been aware of the band but never really checked them out before. Thought I'd give it a go for that price. Solid album.
