DeComposer is an experimental Industrial project started from the ashes of two previous projects: Seroquel (F20.0) and Pusmouth. Salem Black, who is behind the project, has been actively making sounds from Croatia since 2011. The process uses words or an image as the starting point for the work, these can often be seen as disturbing or offensive and they are then processed and represented in sonic form. The cover of this album as you can see is a devil tattooed around someone’s penis. There are willies, toilets, smegmas and carcasses on the Bandcamp page. I wonder what this will sound like. Either way, we’ve  had a lot of naughty images on here in the past, so Decomposer is in good company.

A device continually tries to start through out The Tool, sometimes it runs for a time but it takes a while to get there. Noises hisses alongside the mechanics: this track serves as an introduction to the album. The Devil demonstrates more complexity to the layering as it uses clear sermons and slowed down unintelligible dialogue against each other. Other sounds enter and leave the performance until all that there is are the two dialogues creating an atmosphere. The Trade is the sounds of sex and noise going at it, at the same time. It’s hard to derive whether it is agony or lust and how many samples or field recordings were used against each other. The sound being locked in lustful agony (pleasure and pain) is my only interpretation of the track that I can offer.

Prior to playing The Tool of the Devil’s trade, I thought that this would just be the run of the mill Harsh Noise project with extreme images, but it comes from elsewhere and does it quite well. I think the screwiness of the work needs a better visual representation to work alongside it. I’d disagree on this being limited to download only and argue that it needs a physical representation, even if limited to small numbers like 10 copies (tapes/Cdrs) as it would solidify what is already an interesting project. This needs to be out there beyond the dimensions of its own Bandcamp - as it is worth hearing. Good work, keep it up.
