I was unfamiliar with this artist, but Soma is the work of Spanish artist David López Saludes, and the discogs biography states that this project "oscillates between Harsh Noise and Power Electronics." Because this is on Inner Demons, I have some sense of what I am in for, so let's dive in.

This release consists of two 3' discs with one twenty-minute track each. "Ejemplo" kicks it off with a heavy slab of incredibly harsh noise. There is a lot going on here, and the effect is complete and utter chaos. Just the way I like my noise. You can sometimes hear some vocals buried in the mix, but everything this track touches just becomes grist for the noise mill, and it is completely unintelligible. It is all coated in a thick layer of static and bits of feedback. In short, this is 20 minutes of sonic destruction.

Next up we have "Cinismo." This is heavy static with theremin / sweeping phaser that sounds like something out of a video game. I worried that this was going to get old really quick, but Soma uses this judiciously and in concert with a host of other sounds. Where "Ejemplo" was much more raw and unbridled, "Cinismo" is more deliberately put together. To be clear, this is also incredibly harsh, but it is a different kind of harsh. This track focuses more on the mid-range to high end of the spectrum, with plenty of static and hiss to go around. Well done.

Overall, this is absolutely fantastic harsh noise. If you like it heavy and you like it noisy, this is one you need to get. This set weighs in at 40 minutes.
