Sounds LikeBehind the Walls ; Tape Review from MacheteMob Blogspot - "Purportedly a collab between members of Panicsville and Coughs, this tape is a haunted drifting sound track to bad dreams. Unhuman voices speak partially heard nothings, sheets of feed back and physical bass tone swoop down and occasionally pummel the dreamer. There is a wide range of material here, ranging from pounding industrial, to layers of swirling effected blur. Very good. This release reminds me somewhat of the Andy Ortman "Night Mania" album Nihilist released last year. I always look forward to hearing new Nihilist releases, as they seem to me to be much closer to absurdly disturbing sounds of R&G, Suden Infant, Nurse with Wound, etc. then the modern American noise drivel. Rejoice in the purity of emptyness."

Review from Aquarius Records of "Molech" LP: The band name definitely had us envisioning the tree beasts from Lord Of The Rings, wandering through the blackened forest, their hulking forms casting ominous shadows, their skeletal branches outlined against the moonlit sky. And you know, the music fits pretty well with that image. Oakeater is a blackened ritualistic 'power' trio made up of dudes from noise outfits the Coughs and Panicsville, but this is not noise music, well, at least not 'noisy' noise music. Instead the sound of Oakeater is dark and mysterious, abstract and black ambient. Primal and raw, primitive and ritualistic. There might be a drummer, and a guitar player, and even a bass player, or it could be three guys hunched over effects pedals on the floor, regardless, they conjure up some seriously evil sounding black sonic mojo. Almost the whole of side A is made up of whispery shimmer, hushed alchemical whirs, creepy voices way down in the mix, flickering fluttering melody, creaking industrial groans and moans, until nearly the end, when the various sounds coalesce into something more musical, but no less evil sounding. Big black resonant chords ring out, over a heartbeat like throb, the vocals a weary liturgical chant, the sound like some industrial abstract doom metal, but way more spacious and moody and minimal. The flipside follows a similar pattern, beginning all hushed and whispery, building gradually into a buzzing almost-song. But here the drone is much more pronounced, a buzzing layered Niblockian tone that seems to run through the whole track, while all around it strange fragments of melody and percussion drift and shimmer, the track looping and mesmeric, strangely hypnotic and almost pretty, drone-y and soft focus, only slipping into something slightly more sinister in the last few minutes, the tones becoming more and more warbly and atonal, until some more melodic organ drifts in and the record fades out more dreamy that dreary. Packaged in killer hand silk-screened sleeves, silver and black and grey ink on plain black jacket, with a silk-screened insert inside.

Oakeater,

Whats up? Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I like to listen to bands before I click 'approve', and I've kinda been in-between countries, and havent had much time.

I like your tracks, the extra effects and noises, give it a unique flavor.

Keep in touch,
Shaun
