TRIADOF13TH – 曇りの日(Kumori no Hi)

OOO-52 | Cassette tape

A1. リザルト

B1. LOW BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

2021年に林原敦志（b, vo | JDOW, MACROCHORD,PARALYZED）、宮部幸宜（g, vo | AKBK, ENDON, PRAYMATE）、田中佑来（dr | extremeOBSN, suthpire, Whales, ZENANDS GOTS）が集い、散発的なBandcampでの謎めいた作品発表を経て、同年9月にリリースしたフル・アルバム『曲がり角 ニオイ 夢の夜』で全貌を見た……かに思えたTRIADOF13TH。その当初における“ハードコア・パンク”というジャンル・ミュージックとしてのラベリングが、ニアリーイコール級に遠からずではあるものの妥当ではないことを示すのが、2022年発表の『水槽と熊』に続く本作『曇りの日』だ。

サイドAには、THE BIRTHDAY PARTYやPUSSY GALOREのブルージーなノイズロック、MARSのソリッドなノーウェイヴ、HAWKWINDの破天荒な宇宙、はたまた宮部が敬愛するBrian Setzerなどを思わせながらも、そのいずれでもないネクストレヴェル曲を収録。UNSANEやJESUS LIZARD、SHELLACといったAmphetamine Reptile Records、Touch And Go Recordsのファンにおすすめとも言えるし、「パンクなの？」「パンクだと思ってないよ、I don’t know」と考えていそうなあたり東京ロッカーズのファンにおすすめとも言えるが、宮部による泣きを含むギター・プレイやサウンドメイクは技巧派諸氏をも唸らせることだろう。サイドBでは、3者の裏・真骨頂と言うべきノイズ・アンビエントを披露。チャイルディッシュなメロディを伴う美しいサウンドスケイプだが、（むしろ）そこには“ハードコア・パンク”が内包されていると直感できるだけのキャパシティを備えている。

OOO-48 | Cassette tape

TRIADOF13TH, if we want to speak on their behalf as a band that hates sales pitches, was formed in 2020 by three persons with a history of activities such as ENDON, AKBK, JDOW, Macrochord, extremeOBSN, Vampillia (support), etc. They are active mainly in Kokubunji, West Tokyo.

Following their first album “MA’GARIKA “DONIOI “Y_UME/NOYORU”, which was independently released in September 2021 and gained much attention, their second EP is now available on cassette with DL code […]. The A-side features a song from the first EP.
The A-side is a re-recorded version of a song from the 1st EP, and the B-side is a completely new song, “Hunter” and “Play”. The band’s music is hardcore punk with rock manner and freshness like green grass, dirt-rushing speed and dust.
Limited to 100 copies, available only at the band’s live shows and direct sales on the label.

Hakkutsu Sareta Session – NIKUDOREI

OOO-47 | CD

Legendary noise grind band NIKUDOREI, who formed in 1994, organized the live project “Satsuriku Zatsuon Butai” and became infamous throughout Japan for their extreme performances. Is back this summer! To commemorate their resumption of activities, the completely unreleased session will be urgently released as a joint release of dotsmark and Shit-eye cassette!

The sound files included in this album were recorded around 2005 for a split cassette with a certain band but were put in storage for many years due to the cessation of activities of Meat Slave. The sound source was unearthed after more than a decade, mastered, and the entire session was recorded in non-edited form, making it a must-have for fans of noise grind! The participating members are Okada, the core of Meat Slave and a living witness of the 90’s Japanese Grind Scene, and ARSEDESTROYER/Gore Beyond Necropsy, who also participated in the 3-way split LP “Triple Shocks !!! Freak Noise Show” and drummer Yamazaki, who supported the late Meat Slaves. The concept of music is fundamentally destroyed, and part changes pop up in the hell of a noise! The jacket with a card sleeve features recent images of Okada and Yamazaki as of 22 years ago, and although it is a previously unreleased sound source, it is a release that shows the band’s enthusiasm for restarting with this album. NIKUDOREI will celebrate its 29th anniversary next year, and we look forward to seeing what them will do in the future!

Yuki Tamano leads the project, is a vocalist of ZENOCIDE, graphic designer of SLAVEARTS®︎ , and also a singer, with the main composer dotphob, and the fluid participation of Dagdrøm (IMMORTAL DEATH, she luv it), Taichi Nakura (ENDON. JUSTICE), nb (ZENOCIDE), and RIKI (AxVx), The latest form of UNCIVILIZED GIRLS MEMORY as of July 2022 is a T-shirt with a QR code, which has been building an art form that is inconsistent in area/format with the fluid participation of dotphob (leading composer), Dagdrøm (IMMORTAL DEATH, she luv it), nb (ZENOCIDE), and RIKI (AxVx). The QR code allows you to stream the soundtrack by Tamano + dotphob, the core of the current UCGM, which is as dense and adventurous as if CoH (Editions Mego, Raster-Noton) were going for STALAGGH-inspired depressive noise-black, a dazzling, jet-black sonic experience. The physical work “EMERALD” (2020), which can be heard through the performance and destruction of the vocalist’s non-singing, had the effect of a near-air accident during his appearance at DOMMUNE in 2018, is also available in a vacuum package. (2020), a vacuum package, and “VENTILATOR” (2021), an online installation achieved by simultaneously browsing photographs + sounds + tanka poems. All of UCGM’s art forms require the intervention of your perspective and action. Only when you wear the T-shirt designed by Tamano with 2Ø0ΛA!£ and D.D.D., will you witness the growing process of the angel embryo. The masterpiece “Seraphim 266,613,336 Wings” by Mamoru Oshii + the late Satoshi Kon remains unfinished. Still, with the help of the overlapping post-pandemic situation, this film will likely feel like a successful exodus to the Taklamakan Desert (the worldview of “Tenshi no Tamago” (Although the worldview may be closer to that of “Tenshi no Tamago”).
