Fatal Blast Whip - Slave Device (1997)



Artist: Fatal Blast Whip
Album: Slave Device
Location: San Francisco, USA
Genres: Industrial, Industrial Rock
Year Released: 1997
Date Refound / Posted: 2023-08-04, found by an RYM user who wishes to remain anonymous
Format(s) Released: CDr

Explanation: The Christian Industrial scene is the perfect example of an incredibly niche movement that has a lot of lost releases in it. Fatal Blast Whip is one such project whose music never saw much widespread appeal and as a result releases from the band have vanished. 
Fatal Blast Whip is the industrial alias of Californian-based artist Derek Jones. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a one-man band project or just an alias but either way, Derek Jones made a few of these industrial records, reaching into the early 2010s. 

This specific release is Slave Device, their debut album. RYM currently has the only information even proving this one exists. It was added back when metacomments weren't needed so we don't even have original links for it. This being a demo makes it even more illusive since it's unlikely the artist has any interest in re-releasing it. 

Reasons for Disappearance: It was a promotional demo, probably released locally and sent to a few labels. Never had widespread circulation and the artist never obtained that much attention anyways. It as found after much searching on p2p sites. Though since he is still around he may as well just re-issue it. 
Derek Jones is still around and is still a member of the rock band Sleepy Hollow. They recently have been uploading old stuff to their Bandcamp, so fingers crossed this gets posted too. 
Unfortunately, the cover is lost to time and after much searching I was unable to find it.

Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick - Split (2004)

  Artist: Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick Album: Split Location: Baltimore, USA / Genres: Abstract Hip Hop, Sound Collage, Noise Year Released: 2004 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-08-?? (recovered by tib) Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: I'll admit I know very little about both artists. DJ Dog Dick, real name Max Eisenberg is a noise artist who I mostly know about from a few collabs with rapper Lil Ugly Mane. 'Rap Bastard', aka HZMT I know actually nothing of. When I added this release to my list is was mainly to illustrate just how many lost releases there is for Eisenberg. He released most of his stuff cassette only, and even though he was ahead of the curb, never got much attention cause of that. As I was writing this, I looked into HZMT / Rap Bastard / Anthony Miller and damn does he have a lot of missing and undocumented releases. He ran his own label and released almost everything exclusively on cassette. A true indie artist. Both artists really have large catalogues...

The Convulsions of Creation - Moonba Is Here (1995)

  Artist: The Convulsions of Creation [Chris Shepard & Mike Mangino] Album: Moonba Is Here Location: Piscataway, USA Genres: Cassette Underground, Sound Collage, Drone, Noise Year Released: 1995-xx-xx Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: Atlas King is a label I have been tracking for years now. Home to the noise duo, Smersh it was active in the Cassette Underground releasing all sorts of weird tapes. This is one of them. Almost all the acts on Atlas King were just akas of Smersh but unlike the duo, the non-Smersh releases experimented with electronic, noise and other genres. The Convulsions of Creation is one such project, a side-thing by Smersh messing more with drone and sound collage. This release is okay. I'm sure someone will enjoy it more. When it comes to noise I don't like ear-splitting sounds. The first track has a few. It's this dissonant, vaguely "Eastern" sounding drone with rattles and some high-pitched sounds. The second and third track are ...

305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ - Sons of God (2013)

  Artist: 305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ Album: Sons of God: The Most Outer Place Location: Miami, USA Genres: Witch House Rap, Witch House, Trillwave Year Released: 2013 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'll admit. This is not my cup of tea. Not only do I know very little about these artists I know even less of who they collaborated with. I only know of this from a RYM list I saw where someone mentioned they were looking for this album. All I know about NoSpaceApe is that he was an artist active in the Witch House Rap scene that existed in the early 2010s. The one Black Kray is often considered the founder of. I know absolutely nothing of 305 808. I can't find any info either. This is a Witch House Rap album, with lots of loud distortion, slurred and incomprehensible lyrics and edgy and dark song titles and sounds. In theory I should like it but as I wrote, it's just not for me. I could just write a whole review on how much I didn't like it but ehn. I don't have...
