"Sixteen crackling walls of fire and brimstone come colliding together in
this titanic wall compilation - bringing together the very best. These
Crackling Wall Demons are of an otherwordly nature when it comes to
their wallcraft and their uncanny abilities at sculpting textural walls
with such immersive weight and juddering, piercing immediacy. These
walls blind and suffocate - leaving naught but ash and cinder in their
wake." (From the Bandcamp page. Compilation is available as "Name Your Price". See here.)
This is a mammoth (five and a half hours) and substantial compilation from UK web label Harsh Noise Wall. Many of these textural projects are more ambient in cadence than one might expect from the description, however this hopefully allows the uninitiated to see the craft that goes into the creation of walls by the likes of Sergey Pakhomov (Train Cemetery) or Clive Henry. While there is plenty for the listener craving obliterating walls here (Ivan Sandakov's Cannibal Meat Holocoast or Condo Horro, for example), the overall feel of this compilation is a display of hi-fidelity technical sophistication in a style often written of as a mere novelty (which isn't to say, unfortunately, that it isn't awash with low effort trash which lends itself to this presumption).
