REVIEW FROM MUSIQMACHINE (EDITED FOR RELEVANCY HERE):

'Brick By Brick' is an impressively presented, distinctive looking & sonically quality bound collection of Harsh Noise Wall material. The set offers up seven HNW artists who get a 3inch disc or twenty minutes worthy of space each. The seven discs come in a very neat & classy small plastic box which has black ink on black paper outside cover & inside the box you find a twelve page booklet detailing each track, a near A4 manifesto by Vomit & a 1” badge/ button. Each of the seven discs has it’s own plastic see-through sleeve which is attached to the box by two little plastic ring binders- as I said a very classy, distinctive & thought out package. ... On disc four we have a twenty minute untitled track by Griz+zlor & it’s a nice example of this projects often storm bound, thick & murky take on HNW. The track really feelings like your trying to make your way through a high wind tearing, snow heavy storm- it’s very thick, near unchanging yet rather for filling in it’s constant & brutally hypnotic attack. ... All told a very nicely presented & thought-out celebration of the steadily growing HNW scene, which works as a wonderful primer for those who have still to taste this extreme but often exhilarating & hypnotic form of Noise, but i'ts also a must have item for anyone who’s already an admitted wall addict. To buy direct drop into here

CXXIV - UNTITLED

FROM JESHIMOTH ENTERTAINMENT

TO SAY THE LEAST IT WAS RECORDED DURING A HECTIC TIME IN MY LIFE. THE LOGO ASSEMBLAGE WAS AN ATTEMPT AT A PORTRAIT ARRANGEMENT. I LIKED IT BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF A SPINE WITH SHOULDER BLADES AT THE TOP (NO RIBCAGE). BUT I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT...


ORIGINAL LABEL DESCRIPTION:


A massive 20+ minute black monolithic wall of deliriously crumbling harsh noise. Anonymous and bleak frequency shifts and mind-erasing static battery. LTD TO 50 COPIES

HERE IS A REVIEW FROM MUSIQMACHINE:

CXXIV: Untitled offers up a frying, crumbling & thick 20 minute track of Harsh Wall Noise by Griz+zlor- the HWN project of  Philadelphia based Paul Dever (Failure Of A Great Machine & earth space noise).

CXXIV: Untitled kicks straight in with a very thick wall of sound that is a mixture of frying, hammering rain type noise textures, & just at the back of these textures is this low down drone texture which becomes very hypnotic as the piece goes on really sucking you nicely into whirling maelstrom of HNW. I really like the way Dever keeps the track constant & thick through-out, yet he nicely mangers to shift the tonally qualities between: heavy static down pours, frying in sound fat fast simmers, jack-up ‘n’ rolling hammerings & fast crumbling tones. There's also some really neat sort of stretched spray paint like hissing static textures of noise coming in towards the end of the track

Another great slice of HNW that’s primed for full submersion & blocking out the world around you. With Dever cutting the track to the optimum HNW length of 20 minutes- meaning you have enough time for it to infect & engulf your head yet not enough time to become boring or stayed.

A Review from an unknown source (i'll separate what's relevant if possible):

Griz+zlor: Brutal walls of chunky, grinding noise attack you from your speakers at the onset of this track. High pitched pings float over the chaos. The noise moves and shifts as lower throbs make their way to the surface. The amount of variation and time length makes Statue003 a standout track among the sea of strictly noise artists who dominate the scene.

A Review from Plaguecast:
http://plaguehaus.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=191&Itemid=27

Griz+zlor - Statue003: Wall Noise can get kind of boring if the artist has no purpose or sense of direction. The Griz is definitely one of my favorites because he suffers from neither of these maladies. Using a statue as the source sound, it carves it’s way around the brain folds and inserts enough variety to keep you guessing.

A review from Antimodene Tonträger:
http://amt.blogsport.de/2008/09/22/review-va-audial-decimation-vol-1/
“Statue003″ by Griz+Zlor is a nice contrast to the predecessing tracks. Overdriven, saturated and static waves of distortion with minor or almost no movement. Very harsh.
