...With this 3-song EP, Glasgow-based Black Sun offer us a preview of their new album Fleshmarket. Theirs is a raw, dark, Noise-metal akin to Godflesh and early Neurosis. Black Sun is heavy, suffocating, biomechanically Geiger-esque... and startlingly captivating. There is an underlying malaise in the music, a disquieting sense of impending doom. The muffled vocals are not those of a narrator, but those of his unfortunate victims. A disturbing and beautifully compelling experiment on the human psyche...

Those who remember the experimental, way-ahead-of-their-time offerings of Irish art-fuckers Virgin Prunes (check out 'Over The Rainbow') will be interested to note the teeth-grinding disturbance on offer from Glasgow's Black Sun (aka Russell McEwan). Spanning ambience, industrial and noise, 'Fleshmarket' is a disconcerting affair that recalls Godflesh, Swans and contemporary masters of resonance, SunnO)). There's the down-tuned horror of 'Trawl', the morbid death rattle of 'Obscenity', with its evil call of "impure", and the creepy operation of 'Flesh Project'. Black Sun's low resonations put everything into perspective; your world just got a hell of a lot more sinister.

BLACK SUN IS EX-MACROCOSMICA MEMBER RUSSELL MCEWAN. IT'S PRETTY VARIED STUFF - DOOM METAL (VERY REMINISCENT OF OBSCURE EARLY 90'S SUB POP BAND, EARTH), CUTE ELECTRONICA TRACKS, HORROR SOUNDTRACKS... ONE SONG EVEN SOUNDS LIKE CODEINE (BLIMEY, 2 SUB POP REFERENCE IN ONE WRITE-UP!). SOME OF IT IS ALSO PRETTY DAMN SCARY - SO MUCH SO THAT WE ALMOST THOUGHT ABOUT SUPPLYING A CLEAN PAIR OF UNDERPANTS WITH EVERY COPY SOLD....
