Em Dath Rir

My contribution of evil audio for 6/6/06 day comes from Providence, Rhode Island, clearly one of the portals to Hell. Em Dath Rir are an on-and-off outfit dealing a muzzed-out, destructive slab of hate-fi action that ranks with some of the most killer moments of Burzum while delivering a sidestep on the Black Metal ethos that can be also seen in such trashcan-banging lunatics as Therios. Back at an old No Fun Fest, Dominick Fenrow (aka Prurient) gave me a comp called Old Tyme Lemonde on his own Hospital Productions label; the Em Dath Rir stuff was some of the sickest stuff on there, and I'd been bugging him ever since to hear more. Finally, the first day I climbed down into the Other Portal to Hell (his new Hospital store in the East Village underneath Jammyland, which you literally limbo down a hatch to enter), Dom remembered what a pain in the ass I was immediately, and kindly slapped the bleak-looking Stolen cassette into my customerly hands. Turns out Dom himself played drums with these other two guys ("just snare and hi-hat actually" he says), and the assorted blackcore misanthropy to follow was recorded "under the worst conditions possible". Yes. Despite his extremely hate-crusted music he does as Prurient, Dom seems like a good guy all around, so, were Em Dath Rir and you sacrificing goats in those days? "They're extremist vegans." Here's "Disease" (MP3).

Wow. Thanks to Brian Turner for this. RJ is right. It's pretty terrible. Too bad we didn't have any good recordings to show any body. Thank you anyway.
