All Genres > Metal > Dark Ambient/Noise > KNURL: Vorticose

Knurl was formed in 1994 from an idea to take music as we know it and to strip it entirely of what we know music to be. i.e. rythmical, lyrical and a verse/chorus format. The inspiration came from working in welding shops and wanting to harness the sounds of cutting and grinding metal and putting it into a sound project.

This release is being sold as a cdr.
All covers are designed and hand-made by Alan Bloor.

Seymor Glass of Bananafish Magazine wrote:

Slashing through Dionysian abandonment with the sober tyranny of a decathlete, Alan Bloor rips open hormones, instinct habit, and anything else that inhibits behaviour. A top-seeded screechosaurus, Bloor regularly dominates the continent'samplified metal whack-offs by magnetizing the air with the death rattle of broiled thunderbolts and sonic booms that don't vibrate so much as incinerate loudly. There are so many layers of spongy screech here, one has to crawl out of the room to avoid collapsing a lung. Any of the five tracks of belligerent rumble on Vorticose could easily blow out one's shock absorbers; if after forty minutes of Knurl's assaults on equilibria and mineral tsunami you do not consider voluntary detox, an intervention is warranted.
