Release whatever grasp you have on reality. In the formless void that remains you will experience sound. Morbid And Miserable Records presents… that sound. Welcome to an experimental noisegrind split between Gom Jabbar and Pissing Contest – two Toledo-based projects delving into auditory disorder. Each group has created a 9+ minute track of chaos sourced from a place beyond our comprehension.
Gom Jabbar has taken on several forms in the years that they have been together, but for the time being they are an experimental three-piece studio project. Their last release – Spice from 2020 – offered a maddening mix of inspirations including power electronics, powerviolence, black metal, and more. For this split, they recorded the track “Magic in Numbers” which focuses in on a more select set of influences: noise and grindcore.
Pissing Contest on the other hand was conceived of as an improvised studio collaboration focused on grindcore and crust. Most of the group’s initial sessions were released as a self-titled EP in late 2020. Although Pissing Contest has been quietly recording more material, their contribution to this split – the track “X” – was taken from one of their first sessions in the studio. However, X was excluded from the debut Pissing Contest release due to its length and more abstract qualities.
Consider this a glimpse into the immaterial.
