DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Awesome glitch-infested, blackened grind from outta Portland from this duo featuring drummer Charlie Mumma (who many of you might now from his work in noisecore/musique concrete terrorists Sissy Spacek and experimental black metallers L'Acephale) and Gordon Wilson Ashworth of Oscillating Innards and Deep Jew; this fucking record tore my head completely off as soon as it kicks in with opener "Usurpation", with its crushing blackened grindcore, hammering chain-gun blastbeats and monstrous discordant riffing, taking a page from the Conqueror/Blasphemy book and mutating it into something radically different. I first heard Knelt Rote on 2012's Insignificance, which offered a similar brand of noise-damaged black blast, though I haven't yet checked out any of their older stuff prior to their working with Nuclear War now; their early releases were apparently more straight forward harsh noise before the band transformed into the bestial blackened death outfit they are now. On Trespass, the band unleashes vicious blasting heaviosity with a putrescent dual vocal attack and the awesome drumming from Mumma; the guitars have a crushing tone, their eerie droning riffs woven into violent complexity among the pounding angular grooves, and often burst into psychotic guitar solos that rupture into pure noise. Bizarre vocal noises suddenly take over and thrust the album into a short but nauseating passage of Randy Yau-esque vomit-noise at one point, and sometimes there's a strange metallic/electronic sheen on the vocals that feels like more post-production fuckery to make this sound as alien as they can. The songs on Trespass are also laced with strange concrete noises and sounds, often beginning with crackling, rustling noises before exploding back into the grinding blackness , and waves of distorted electronic noise introduces the second side as well, "Compress" coming apart in crumbling sheets of distortion just as the band kicks in with a crushing doom-laden riff. Then there's the chilling industrial noise and black metal guitars that merge together on the somber noisescape "Interlude", icy minor key melodies circling around the sounds of dragging chains and rumbling low-end frequencies, abrasive metallic textures and cold factory ambience all melting together in something that's more Nurse With Wound than anything resembling the crushing droning black/death monstrosity that makes up most of the album. Knelt Rote's seamless application of harsh electronic noise textures into their blackened grind is one of the most effective uses of noise in metal that I've heard. Recommended.
This vinyl edition of Trespass comes on black vinyl in a gatefold jacket with killer abstract art and hallucinatory collage pieces, and includes a printed 12" x 12" insert.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
