shitcore from aarhus

MANIFESTO 2015

BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
GRAVHUND HAS BECOME AN ARBITRARY SYMBOL
BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
GRAVHUND IS NOT DEAD
THE GRAVHUND SIGNIFIER HAS BEEN EMPTIED
GRAVHUND HAS TRANCENDED
THE ONLY THING SEPERATING YOU FROM GRAVHUND
IS WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO POSITION YOURSELF IN THIS ROOM
YOU ARE RESPONABLE FOR POSTMODERNISM
THIS IS FREMMED OVERTAGELSE
THAT MEANS TO SAY
THESE ARE NOT FERTILE OVARIES
A SOUND IS A SOUND IS A SOUND IS A SOUND
NEVER BEFORE HAS LITTERATURE BEEN TRULY NOISEY
YOUR ARE REPONSABLE FOR POST MODERNISM
AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
EVERYTHING IS INDEED VERY GRAVHUND
WE ARE VERY GRAVHUND IN THIS MOMENT
AND YOU ARE TOO
LETS SPEND SOME TIME HERE TOGETHER
WE ARE FEELING VERY WARM RIGHT NOW
MOST OF THIS HAS TRACENDED
TO DEFINE GRAVHUND
YOU MUST FIRST DEFINE 'TRUE ART'
WE HAVE ALREADY FAILED MISERABLY
AND MUST CONTINUE TO DO SO
IN ORDER TO KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SHIT ON THE SURFACE
BUT FEW ARE SHIT TO THE CORE
LET US ALL BUILD THIS MONUMENT OF EXCREMENT
SOON THE AIR WILL BE RESONATING WITH THE SMELLS OF
HARSH TO THE NOISE IN THE END
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FIRE

REVIEWS

great album, gravhund.

fun artwork and 4 medium length noise
experiences. so much FUN.
loved this album.

Gravhund wallow in their incompetence and admit as much on the sleeve. Twelve tracks in 23 minutes worth of sped up and slowed down Loony Tune cartoons, with coughing fits, barking dogs, pedal abuse, keyboard prod, vocals fed through make-you-sound-dumb- effects and of course flat out noise. Not a billion miles away from Evil Moisture in delivery and for that alone worthy of attention.

Gravhund - is noise both alive and dead; a discussion on anarcho-veganism and the future of noise from the Harsh Noise Mafia and inventors of shitcore. From Denmark, Gravhund ARE noise, and more importantly they are shitcore. This is a great chance to debate with the anarchist wing of noise “music”, with particular focus on the claim by Wolf Eyes that noise is “dead”. Bring a sick bag, and maybe a vest.

"I also liked Gravhund from Denmark. Tape abuse, cut-ups and general noise wankery. Not my usual cup of tea but for some reason it worked." - Purgist

Gravhund play their own affectionately termed brand of noise called shitcore, which certainly sounds appealing to the senses. The duo of Ablablablablabla and Herr Doktor have put together twelve tracks of ridiculousness, from tape loops to sound and vocal samplings to pedals and bass and any other noises that they could put together to form weird, nonsensical sound.

Listening to this takes a bit of sarcasm and a love of nonsensical, tasteless junk. It’s a good listen when it’s on, and it serves its purpose as a lighthearted attempt at noise, but how much you listen to it after will depend on how much shitty, pointless noise appeals to you. And I’m sure Gravhund take that as a compliment, so feel free to use it as good press.

Ja, det er enormt kreativt (...) Wow man hvor er i fucked up !!! jeg forstår bare slet ikke det der i stiller jer i et rum med hundemasker på og laver støj amen det giver jo ingen mening man i er helt væk !! ... Tilfreds? I mødes og laver stenede ting, hurra

Twelve tracks. There are twelve tracks on this 3"cdr so it's pretty obvious that none of the tracks are very long. That is a pretty good thing for me as about half of these I am not into at all. The other half though, are fucking great. It's weird. They are not that different. Some are spay fuzzed out wacky noise and some are bizarre cut up tape collages with tons of strange fuckery. It's very out there and I definitely like it for that but it's not really my thing. Burping kinda bums me out.

It looks horrible. I get why, it goes with the crazy nature of the music but the photo of the dachshund in a hot dog costume wit badly photoshopped out of it's picture, the type is gross and the color choices are grosser. I think that is all intentional and I am just not getting it but I am really just not enjoying it as much as I hoped to. I guess the dachshund gave me higher hopes.

I would not buy this.
