Boomkat Product Review:
Originally slated for release on CDr in 2011, 'Perverted By Religion' juxtaposes an improvised ear-collapsing jam from Peruvian producer Ernesto Bohórquez with a harsh noise wall experiment from US pioneer Richard Ramirez.
Back in the early 2010s, Buh Records boss Luis Alvarado was curating a series of low-key limited noise CDrs in Lima, and photocopying the artwork to fall in line with releases that were appearing in short, bespoke runs across the world at that moment. He had an ongoing collaboration with Bohórquez, aka Animal Machine, who was based in Poland at the time, and wanted to juxtapose his sounds with an example of harsh noise wall, the dense, barely shifting minimalist maximalism that had evolved from albums like Mezbow's 'Pulse Demon' and Incapacitants' 'As Loud as Possible'. Ramirez was one of the scene's key players, so Alvarado procured 'Perverted by Religion', a track recorded in Houston and paired it with an acerbic live recording Bohórquez made in Poland.
The split never materialised at the time, but almost makes more sense now, memorialising a moment in time when noise proliferated - and expanded - with hundreds of home-made CDrs, cassettes and splits. Ramirez's 20-minute side is a blast of liquid refreshment; it's dense, of course, but Ramirez underpins his blown-out, saturated amp-slash crunch with psychosexual synth warbles and drowned no-input oscillations. This isn't music to hollow out yr insides, it's visceral drone gear, in its own way, that's fixated on minute temperature fluctuations and texture hiccups. And although Bohórquez's side is harsher, emphasizing the high end with shrieking white noise risers and seismic, distorted ruptures, it's just as subtly detailed. Alvarado's curation is on point - we can figure out a spectrum of extremity from these two tracks, and we're getting nostalgic.
