The recent full-length "Disfigured Onanist" takes all the aspects Rotat is loved (and hated) for and cranks them up a notch. Walls of filth rise and fall, ripping feedback squeals over the sounds of metal sheets and power tools and oddly enticing modulation. Blocks of heavy sound manage to be brutish but still subtle at the same time and create atmospheres of unhinged lust and celebration of sonic mayhem, which immediately make you see the hairy, heavy-set screwball in his noise shed clanking on bizarre instruments.
Rotat's "Disfigured Onanist" is truly a pulverising experience. Everything feels hands-on and thought-out, while still being no holds barred Noise violence, which has nothing hip or polished about it. Sonic harsh mastery at its best and not to be missed by any aficionado!
