If you liked Non Serviam&#8217;s work before you&#8217;ll see plenty of their sound in here, but Biollante is an entirely new sound from these folks, and a rather interesting one at that.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_26112\"  width=\"320\" height=\"240\"  data-origwidth=\"320\" data-origheight=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bNTtbf4pqvk?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The glitchier aspects are pretty cool, like in the opening track &#8220;Trigger Warning,&#8221; and at times the project has similar aesthetics to a lot of those curated by one of my favorite Japanese record labels, Virgin Babylon.

Those of you familiar with Non Serviam probably won&#8217;t be surprised by this as the band is very overtly politically active and conscious, pushing antifascist and anarchist ideals.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_12601\"  width=\"320\" height=\"240\"  data-origwidth=\"320\" data-origheight=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GQ8NbayH9PM?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Probably unsurprisingly &#8220;<span class=\"track-title\">\u30d3\u30aa\u30e9\u30f3\u30c6 \u82b1\u7363\u5f62\u614b<\/span>&#8221; is the track that offers the most familiar ground for me, being the most similar to that Virgin Babylon sound, reminding me a lot of Laxenanchaos, and is followed by the epic-length 20 minute banger &#8220;Pourquoi Pas,&#8221; a track that is very heavy on the trap beats and with the most obvious metal influences. If you like noise and glitch hardcore this track should also be up your alley. I&#8217;m not familiar with Gobscrew, though I&#8217;m definitely going to be checking them out, but this sort of hard to tack down mash of genre and style is very par for the course in what I&#8217;ve come to expect from Non Serviam and this is a welcome addition of a side project from them. Definitely check out if you&#8217;re a fan of heavy trap\/hip hop groups like <strong>ho99o9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently ill while writing this so I&#8217;m fighting with brain fog in trying to pull out more to say, but the project is extremely fresh and interesting and experimental where it counts. I dug it a lot, and still dig it after a few listens. If you dug it, check out their bandcamp. It&#8217;s available digitally as well as physically through Trepanation Recordings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">4\/5 Flaming Toilets ov Hell<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-51603 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/NEW_TOILETSCALE_4_of_5.jpg?resize=709%2C162&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"709\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/NEW_TOILETSCALE_4_of_5.jpg?resize=1024%2C234&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/NEW_TOILETSCALE_4_of_5.jpg?resize=300%2C68&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/NEW_TOILETSCALE_4_of_5.jpg?resize=768%2C175&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/NEW_TOILETSCALE_4_of_5.jpg?w=1249&amp;ssl=1 1249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These French people are dropping les barres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":113607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"BSG is glitching violently to Biollante!","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12,39,370,70],"tags":[17079,11634,2842],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Biollante.jpg?fit=750%2C350&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113605"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113605"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113609,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113605\/revisions\/113609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
