BROTZMANN CASPAR MASSAKER - Home (2LP)

Double vinyl LP pressing. Southern Lord releases Home, the final installment in the Caspar Br÷tzmann Massaker series. Originally recorded in 1994 and released in 1995, Home is characterized by Massakeræs ultra-refined riffs of shrieking, screeching feedback, and rattling machine gun staccatos. Exuding confidence, authority and a natural rapport that the musicians clearly had with one another. Certain songs from earlier records were revisited on Home including ôThe Tribeö and ôMassakerö from The Tribe, and ôTemplehof,ö ôHunter Song,ö and ôB÷hmenö from Black Axis. These pieces had evolved following years of rethinking, rehearsing and reshaping them on stage, as well as playing with Danny Lommen, who had replaced Frank Neumeier on drums after Black Axis. These refined versions on Home raise the level of density and tension, the ominous evocations of impending doom, booming threat, and the grim determination thatÆs always driven Massaker.
