N.J.S WOLD is an acquired taste for sure, but if you ever want to drown the world in an ocean of noise - look no farther. Some pretty fantastic lyrics here as well.

Freermasonry

Angle process has been severed,
I wait with the goat’s secret.

Maul crushes skull
On tiled ground.

Eigenheit; sky-eyed willful one,
Outside of them.

Statement from the Wold communique sent out following the completion of Freermasonry:

“Lyrically Freermasonry: consist of a series of poems and discourses. Early on in Freermasonry during SOL, the Mother allusion is referenced out of Faust Part Two. It’s a small portion and short moment. Faust does an invocation to the Mothers, but the execution is as trickery through occult charlatanism and not truly believed ritual. Goethe found passages about dark goddess figures known as Mothers in the writings of Plutarch. The metaphor is ambiguous, generally associated with creative dark force and will, but reared in a potent lie. I use it in correlation with screech owl as atheistic reactionary sentiment. Of course there are many other aspects to Freermasonry:"
—Fortress Crookedjaw

“This is all to say that Freermasonry:— the obliterative sixth album from Wold, the Saskatchewan act led by the incredibly named Fortress Crookedjaw-- is ultimately enigmatic and entirely unknowable, an intersection of noise, metal, and electronics that doesn't yield to such plainclothes criticism. Mean, dense and multivalent, with a lyrical conceit based on Masonic symbolism and Biblical scripture, it's the rare loud music that begs to be louder still if you're to have any chance of understanding it. Freermasonry: is a case study in controlling the illusion of chaos, an elegantly constructed nightmare of sound where hearing one layer of serrated screams, static bursts, and feedback flares means you've missed some mass of activity somewhere else. Weirdly seductive rhythms tumble beneath a laundromat of blown-out tones and crackling vocals, generally pulling your attention a dozen different ways. I've been listening to the album consistently for three months now, and somehow, I'm still surprised by what its 58 minutes sound like and accomplish. Paradoxically disorienting and direct, Freermasonry: is a constant tumult of surprising activity, more unforgiving than most everything in the noise, metal, and drone scenes, places where Wold kind of fits.”

Despite how 50/50 the second half of this album was, the first half is some of the best, most aggressive and haunting noise I've ever listened to. I can't tell where harsh noise begins and black metal ends and I don't care. calebfanac
