"HARD2BAGOD is the debut album from Helsinki-based avant-garde noise artist Matti Närekanga under his moniker OTOTOMY. In creating these sometimes ear-splitting and sometimes more subdued but always harsh textures, Matti seems to utilize noise from a variety of sources including raw feedback, weird percussive loops, and even strange vocalizations and screams directly into a microphone. All of which sound like they go through a veritable wall of electronic mangling to create some intense sounds.


The first few tracks lean heavily on the side of harsh noise wall with the opener being a full-on assault on the brain and the second following suit. But then the last two tracks, "HARD" and "2BA," take a more subdued approach with the former being extremely minimalist, seemingly consisting of one single sound that is warped and manipulated in all manner of strange ways. "2BA" takes this same minimal approach but intensifies things a bit, with harsher tones and a wall that rolls in and out and ends with some odd bits of dull percussion. The album is weirdly eccentric in its approach and effectively does much more than simply making some noise. "

"Improvised harsh noise from the depths of Helsinki. The Finnish harsh noise artist commits it all to tape in this sanding, glass-shard windstorm of a noise track. Oversaturated and distorted everything run through the abscess of a busted eardrum with a disjointed and tormented human voice wailing from the deep. Heavy stuff. "

"Finnish artist OTOTOMY’s ‘HARD2’ is harsh noise wall aberration in the vein o Japanoise terrorists Masonna & Merzbow… And imagine that’s from his debut album. Excellent stuff!"
