Pressed in a numbered edition of 200 copies; Black vinyl; Silver labels with black text; Pro-printed, color, fold-over sleeves; 45 RPM; Initially another victim of the recent colored vinyl drought that cut short the private series, I am pleased to finally announce the new single from Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck.  Throughout the 2000s, this Boston band (Shane Broderick, Ted Sweeney, and Joshua Hydeman [now of Portland, OR]) has been evolving through the worlds of grindcore, violent power-electronics, and confrontational performance art.  I was handed a copy of their "P.T. Barnum's Gallery Of Masturbatorial Disenchantment" CD at No Fun Fest, a few years ago, and after I listened to it, I pretty much knew that TDS OGF and BLOODYMINDED had an enigmatic connection that was worth pursuing, even if I was rather thrown off the scent by their particular brand of humor -- which prevails to this day, as evidenced by the cringeworthy title of the fourth track on this single.  An October 2007 Chicago show totally sealed the deal for me.  Not since Slogun had I witnessed such a believably violent outburst from a power-electronics group.  And TDS OGF had the sound to back up their attitude.  The tsunami that rushed out of the massive Suffering Bastard PA that night was every bit as potent as their stage presence.  At that point, I knew that a BloodLust! release had to happen.  Finally, In March 2008, BLOODYMINDED went to Boston to play the TDS OGF-curated Northeast Regional Noise and Power Electronics Festival (they do like their wordy titles, don't they?), and the necessary bonding was completed.  Take that how you will.  Band member Ted Sweeney created the two amazing collages that grace the front and back covers, and similar to their excellent 12-inch on Apop Records, this single was mastered by James Plotkin (of Khanate, Khylst, OLD, etc.) for maximum sonic potency.  I had no doubt in my mind that they would deliver a concise and ferocious monster.  Here it is...

HEATHEN HARVEST REVIEW
Artist: Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck
Title: Champagne And Biological Women
Label: BloodLust!
Genre: Power Electronics/ Noise

A powerful and layered piece of audio depravity from the boys of TDSOGF and the evil mind behind Bloodlust! Track One, "Covered In Shit," comes in relentlessly and without warning. I have my record player EQ'd to the "jazz" setting on this and other noise releases, I find that captures a wider range of sound than "rock," and adequately highlights the morose and almost bluesy textures to the electronic assault contained on these tracks. An atmospheric gap between tracks one and track two ("Down In The Dirt") gives an enjoyable level of tension on the first side, which requires repeated listens in order to gain the full impact. TDSOGF has a "rocking" power electronics sound that fits in absolutely perfectly on the Bloodlust label, and this release is a stunning and brief picture of that partnership. The artwork is in the classic 90's noise collage style, showing spread-open legs, starving African children, the Virgin Mary and Lucifer in a Byzantine-style Icon painting, accident photos, antique pornography, and pictures of a baby and a symphony orchestra. Although the name of the group leaves nothing to the imagination, the music on here show a level of restraint and discipline that is very impressive. The themes of the music are in the classic Power Electronic style expressed by Consumer Electronics and Whitehouse, that of domination and submission acted out in extreme electronic music.

"Still Erect" begins with a low hum and high pitched cicada-like sounds, leading into a crunchy and scream-filled rape-rant. The final track, "Mark Solotroff Built My Hotrod," seems to be a tounge-in-cheek tip of the phallus to label owner Solotroff. It features a very strong synth buzzon the outset, with a concerned and direct vocal that sort of passes by and the whole thing is wrapped up by a sample at the end. It is a sample of a man ranting about money and success. The performance level of this EP has a "next-level" sort of feel that takes this release into a sort of lofty Hermann Nitsch-like level of visceral aesthetic punishment. These guys have what you would call "commitment to the bit." The songs on here have an influence from the groups's background in the hardcore scene, giving the tracks a brevity and wholeness that makes them unique little vignettes onto themselves.

This is a very blunt and memorable EP that reminds me somewhat of the EP's that Whitehouse did with Steve Albini, like the sound and aesthetic of "Thank Your Lucky Stars." The tracks are all regrettably brief, but there is a lot of quality on here that keeps the active listener flipping this over from side to side. It sounds a little bit different every time that I listen to it, and I'm on probably the 6th or 7th listen at this point. I would guess that none of these tracks are much longer than a minute and thirty seconds. I could definitely listen to tracks 2 and 4 in much longer versions. Powerful and dynamic mastering on this by James Plotkin, one hopes that these guys will do more work with Bloodlust in the future. Great music, very listenable and in the end mercifully brief (leaving you wanting more). Definitely a must-purchase for those of you with any interest in modern Power Electronics, these guys will show you what is up. I can't tell what the hell they are saying on here, however, and a lyric sheet would definitely be of assistance to the listener. A minor gripe regarding an essential release.



ONE TRUE DEAD ANGEL REVIEW
Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - "Champagne & Biological Women"
7-inch Single (Bloodlust!)
Punishment time has arrived again, with four more short bursts of audio hate across one seven-inch single. With an aesthetic that combines harsh electronics, intermittent and unexpected shifts in volume, and a depraved sense of humor, TDSOGF is consistently responsible for some of the most genuinely obnoxious and harrowing noise around today, and this single is no exception. There are some surprises this time around, though; after the initial screech-driven attack of "covered in shit," the second track -- "down in the dirt" -- consists of squealing electronics over an analog-synth rhythm that could have been lifted straight from a doom metal record, forming a unique and interesting mind-meld of two wildly disparate genres. On the b-side, "still erect (... and definitely not leaving)" opens with scratchy noises and more of the brooding analog synth rhythms before exploding into grating white noise and sounds like concrete blocks being hurled through plate glass windows, while the amusingly-titled "mark solotroff built my hotrod" (a not-so-subtle nod to the Bloodust! label head) combines a groaning subsonic rumble with ear-raping feedback and ends with a droll sample about the perils of success over a static loop of monochromatic ugliness. As usual, the only bad part is how fast it all goes by -- the entire single takes less than ten minutes to play out, including the time it takes to flip the vinyl. Mastered by James Plotkin (who's everywhere these days, it seems) and limited to 200 copies in a rude full-color sleeve.



PLAGUE HAUS REVIEW:
Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - "Champagne & Biological Women"
7-inch Single (Bloodlust!)
More mayhem courtesy of the boys from Boston, this time on hometown hero’s Mark Mark Solotroff’s (Intrinsic Action, Bloodyminded) Bloodlust! label. Continuing where last years LP left off, this EP seems a bit more focused and dare I say, restrained. This release sees the project delve more into Death Industrial territory and leaving behind the more chaotic noise stance. Side A begins with “Covered In Shit”, a roaring synth loop with growled, almost spoken vocals. Some nice feedback screams though as well, but the whole thing is kept minimal and short. “Down In The Dirt” enters like a soundtrack to an old Twilight Zone episode and then blasts with more blown out synth. Tortured vocals slide like a cold razor through warm flesh. Again, an extremely short track ends the first side. “Still Erect (...And Definitely Not Leaving)” is up first on Side B. Low, rolling synth under cold metallic noise and straight shouted PE vocals. Next is “Mark Solotroff Built My Hotrod”, and obvious homage to the Surfers and the label honcho. Funny, but no comedic elements that I can pick up on in the sounds, more ominous synth and PE-style vocals that drifts into some shock-jock radio sample…or something close to it. On this release, 2DS 1GF seem to be coming more into their own style and establishing their own sound. While there were elements of this on they’re previous LP, it’s a definite step in the right direction taking a more PE approach as far as I’m concerned. If you follow my reviews at all, you know I’m no fan of long single tracks, but one thing I was baffled by was the other extreme here. The whole 7” is probably around seven minutes long. I realize there are some time constraints on a 45, but I would definitely have loved to hear these tracks progress a bit. It’s still worth checking out. Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies and housed in a color fold-over sleeve.



ROCK A ROLLA REVIEW:
Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck – Champagne & Biological Women 7” (BloodLust!)
These guys are giving a further ugly face-the-music facelift to the sound of rootless industrial. Despite feeling like a nastily themed four-tracker, it sounds cleaner/clearer then their preceding works. The metal on metal tool work is more prescribed and purposeful, the vocals just as threatening. Two sides of the methodical torching of your cities slums soundtracked by steady-handed power electronics.

The brand new issue of ZERO TOLERANCE magazine is out today with an interview and feature on Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck. Also featured in the issue is Prurient, Amon Amarth, Enslaved, Rosemary Malign, Lustmord, Lord Belial and many more of extreme music's finest.

Also included with the issue is a free double CD compilation featuring Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, The Haunted, Dragonforce, Amon Amarth, Enslaved, Psycroptic and many many more.

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck / Suffering Bastard Split 7"
Boston & Providence's heaviest team up for this brutal little EP, which is presented in a black sleeve with terrific artwork (a disintegrating heavy metal zombie sucking on a bong for SB's side, a weird ghostly image of a woman sitting on a bench with some vaporous substance drifting up out of her body from between her legs for TDS OGF's side), the record pressed on green vinyl, and limited to 345 copies.

Suffering Bastard deliver five ultra-short blasts of their brutal bass-heavy grind/sludge/noise on their side, with their trademark dual-bass guitar / drums / vocals lineup blazing through songs like "Sunbaked Carcass", "Infernal Sarcofagus", and "Unholy Hell For All", torrents of blastbeats and sub-bass riffage whipped up into a vicious storm of bottom-heavy blastnoise, with some catchy midtempo punk riffs lodged into the chaos, offering up a catchy verse before Suffering Bastard explode into a cyclone of demonic noise or crawling black sludge. Low-fi and raw as hell, they pack a heavy dose of grinding horror into their four minutes, like some hellish hybrid of Corrupted, Man Is The Bastard, Drop Dead and Gerogerigegege.

Only two tracks on the other side, but Twodeadsluts make 'em count by dropping some of their heaviest industrial/power electronics filth on us. The first one is a brief blast of percussive low end explosions, layered with screamed vocals and gritty distortion, but the second track "Porkers Of The World Unite" takes up the rest of the side, starting off with slowly grinding blots of distorted noise and evil processed vocals that sound like the possessed girls in Evil Dead, then moves into an ominous field of dark ambience with soft swells of muted strings and subterranean whirr that stretches out for a minute or two before a mournful saxophone appears, blowing a soft, sad melody over the waves of obsidian dread. Man, I would love to hear these guys explore this sort of stuff more. This is by far my favorite recording from Twodeadsluts. Recommended! - Crucial Blast

.

Without giving audiences a moment's rest from their last 4.5 minute burn-out, P.T. Barnum's Gallery Of Masturbatorial Disenchantment, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck are back for yet another accosting, this time, as part of APOP Record's artfully packaged petri dish saga, Pasteur Series.  Girls Born In The Nineties represents Twodeadsluts at their most fucked-raw state, abandoning the stringed and factory designed for the broken, smashed, and hotwired. Adding Portland accomplice Joshua Hydeman (whom shared one side of the vinyl on Friendship Bracelet's 2005 release Split Wide Open) seems to just make things even more depraved. In short, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck are screaming at the top of their lungs to Girls Born In The Nineties: plan on getting violated.

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - Girls Born In The Nineties
Here's another installment in A-Pop Records weird little Pasteur series, where they package handpainted 3" CDRs in little plastic petri dishes filled with some kind of hardened wax. I've listed some of their other releases in the series from Warhammer 48K and Sword Heaven in the past, and now we've got the very first disc that came out in the series, the now out-of-print Girls Born In The Nineties from Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck.
The Boston power electronics/skumblast ruffians in 2DS drop what might arguably be the most offensive and vile recording that they've subjected us to so far. Just chew on that title for a little while and let all of the sordid implications soak in. I'm not even going to list the goddamn song titles here. In the space of eight minutes, Twodeadsluts create a soundtrack for the next time you sit down to peruse those PDF scans of Peter Sotos' PURE Magazine you downloaded off of the net last night, taking us through a number of harsh, six-second blasts of feedback overload and harsh power electronics, orgies of ultra-grating, high end skree, and assorted profanities shouted en masse through a wall of acidic distortion. The only exception to this Prurient-style assault is the very first track, a two minute track of crushing, blackened industrial dirge comprised of hellish screams, pounding metallic percussion and huge shuddering machine rhythms, and abrasive buzzing textures. Super limited and long gone from the label, we only have a couple copies of this in stock! - Crucial Blast
