Threes And Will & Huerequeque: Blood River Poort (Love Earth Music)

A relentless and immersive sonic experience from Estonian experimental guitarist Threes And Will and noise artist Huerequeque, through two unrelenting compositions of heavy, pulsating guitar noise, evoking a throbbing, menacing atmosphere with an almost meditative intensity, channeling the South African Boer War into a raw and uncompromising exploration of texture, density, and sound.

Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Here is a complex one. Why complex? Well ... Lemme explains... Threes, and Will is a one-man psych-drone /noise-rock /noise /drone-rock band from Estonia. Even when the name might sound like there are at least 'three' people involved and even maybe a fourth ('will') but ... None of such; it's a one-man project. And Huerequeque is also a one-man project, also from Estonia. And I've been looking around a bit, and he's doing way more noise-dub kinda sounds, so in these compositions, I hardly recognize his influence, if I'm honest. But having said that, I haven't heard all of his material, so that I can be very wrong here too.

Music-wise, this release is two heavy guitar-based compositions spanning 30 minutes, with lots of pulsation and a throbbing /threatening atmosphere. Maybe think the massiveness of Sunn O))) mainly on track two, but then without the chord changes or intense freakiness (jazz noise?!?) on the first track. This music is not for everybody, but if these heavy guitar noise explosions are your thing ... I mean, there is literally no moment of rest or peace somewhere in this track.

And the codeword in the last sentence is indeed 'peace' because the complexity comes to its climax. A quote from Wiki: "In the Battle of Blood River Poort on 17 September 1901, a Boer commando led by Louis Botha crushed a British force commanded by Major Hubert Gough during the Second Boer War." Track 2 carries the title "Blood River Poort", while track one is titled "Vryheidsoorlog", another name for the mentioned South African Boer War. So how and where do two guys from Estonia creating guitar noise get the idea to do an album themed about a South African war between the Transvaal Colonists and the British Empire? And what is their message about the subject? But I started the review with the word complex, right?"-BW, Vital Weekly

Eight distinctive works for electronics and sound from the alter ego of Roger H. Smith, using noise, percussive elements and unusual synthetics, layered around static and arpeggiated rhythms and punctuated with strange asides, the works run from 3:14 to 18:37 and were developed over a year and half; an excellent introduction to the sonic diversity Chefkirk revels in.
