INFORMATION:

Completing what whas started with the ’Gothenburg 08’ compilation earlier this year, 'SUB GOTHENBURG 08' digs even deeper in the Gothenburg scene, guiding you through noise, black metal, lo-fi industrial scrapings and some science fiction-type retrofuturism to boot.

You need this to obtain full knowledge - this is the finest of the underground of the Gothenburg underground. The cassette features previously unreleased material by Frozen Faces (aka Deutsch Nepal), Trepaneringsritualen, Ättestupa, Thuggee, Keplers Odd, Crest, Fbrz, Härsken, Stesolid, Självhat, Smea, and 0100000.

Strictly limited, 100 tapes only.

REVIEWS:

The Sound Projector (online), Ed Pinsent:

Fang Bomb also sent Sub Gothenburg 08 (FB007), a cassette release (100 copies only) which is a supplement to last year’s excellent Gothenburg 08 compilation which we reviewed with no small enthusiasm in issue 17. Any listeners who were adventurous enough to purchase that terrifying comp are advised to get their hands on this little slab of darkness with despatch – it features names and act that are so far underground, you need a pick and shovel to loosen their sonic diamonds from the hard Swedish earth. Only had time for a brief delve into this tape, but so far these tape-based experiments in dark, evil drone-noise are every bit as nightmarish and relentless as you could wish for. Featuring Frozen Faces, Smea, Stesolid, Härksen, Thugee, Trepaneringsritualen and more, and track titles like ‘Hungry for Poison’, ‘The End of Science’ and ‘Genital Altruism’ should give you some indication of just how bad things are getting. As the label puts it, ‘you need this to obtain full knowledge’, and there is indeed the suggestion of hidden knowledge and forbidden information buried somewhere within these insistent tape loops and jet-black brews of diabolical sound.
