A selection turning around the great Chris Spencer.
The unique voice behind Unsane, The Cutthroats 9 and Celan.
THE CUTTHROATS 9 - Self-titled - 2000
www.myspace.com/thecutthroats9
Download
Formed by Chris Spencer during Unsane's hiatus in 2000.
This is their first one.
Quite similar to the original Unsane but a bit more in your face.
Pretty good and Much recommended.
"I'm not sure exactly how Chris Spencer did it, but he took the Unsane template and made a band that was more menacing than its predecessor. This band just feels more aggressive and hateful than Unsane... and that's saying something. They are meaner, faster, harder, and more destructive. The songs are animals, wild fucking animals. Wild animals that want nothing more than to buttfuck you in front of your woman. And that's a shitty thing for an animal to want to do. Why would this animal be so spiteful? What did you do to this wild animal to cause such a reaction? I'm not trying to cast dispertions, but maybe you should look into vegetarianism as a lifestyle change to thwart any future beastial sodomy."

UNSANE - Visqueen - 2007
www.myspace.com/unsane
Download
Legendary band formed in 1988 in New York, USA.
This is their sixth and last album to date.
My personal favourite.
Not much to say except that if you don't know this band yet, you are seriously missing something.
A must-have.
"Menacingly heavy with a perverse melodic twist."

CELAN - Halo - 2009
www.myspace.com/celanband
Download
Thanks to Elementary Revolt!
Formed in Berlin, Germany in 2008. With people from Oxbow, Einstürzende Neubauten, Flu.id and Redux Orchestra.
This is their first and only release to date.
Highly recommended.
"Unsane’s Chris Spencer met Ari Benjamin Meyers of Redux Orchestra/Einsturzende Nebauten in a Berlin bar as the former was on a European tour. The uncorked collaboration Halo is one of the more investigative albums you’ll hear in 2009. Assisting in this alliance is guitarist Niko Wenner of Oxbow, as well as Franz Xaver and Phil Roeder of Flu.id on drums and bass respectively. While Halo plays to the heavier side in Unsane’s favor, the incremental quietude composed by Meyers throughout the album splices its blaring dissonance. Fusing keys, piano, samples and vibraphone on Halo, Meyers knows when to blare from his fingertips in response to the abrasive din expelled from the rest of Celan and in turn they allow Meyers to weave prolonged whispers until they’re called into action. Some may require patience with this album, yet it’s amazing how unwearyingly outlined Halo is considering the short time Celan spent with each other recording this thing. Deadly intelligent..."
