THE GREY WOLVES - Division - CD Box - 12 tracks - Tesco Organisation - 2003

No need to present these masters of the Cultural Terrorist Network, activists since the early eighties... The fact is, as it is judiciously mentioned in the press release, that six years have passed since the first announcement of this CD release... which means this new real Grey Wolves material for a long time was eagerly awaited...
The CD opens with what I assume to be islamic incantations/prayers (a sample used as a red file in this album) mixed with hypnotic almost trance-like harsh rhythms and explosions of noise. Follow classical Grey Wolves pieces based on aggressive distorted vocals, repetitive radio/tv speech samples, harsh power electronic assaults and typical provocative, non political correct lyrics à la Grey Wolves... The exception being the excellent track 'Cities in Flames' that explores the atmospheric, ambient noise facet of Grey Wolves ...

Twelve new tracks for a total length of a bit more than one hour that prove it was worth waiting... The Grey Wolves still carry on creating their unique distorted and brutal electronic sound and following their own path, with no compromise...

This is a limited edition of 1000 copies in a nice embossed white box containing a poster (featuring collage of photos and the 'It's just the same fascistic aim But the rules aren't clearly stated' sentence) and several artworks cards that are worth looking at... considering The Grey Wolves claim is some of their finest work to date… and remembering the initial problem with the company responsible for manufacturing releases that had taken offense to these artworks...

Strongly recommended.
