Here is a French Black Metal band, nothing really extraordinary about that, but what sets Hatjan lightyears away from their countrymen is the scraping harsh noise that coats and corrodes this nasty little tape. Hatjan might be the black metal for fans of noisecore bands like Confuse or Lebenden Toten, or the even harsher sounds of Merzbow and Masonna. Almost no information can be found on the internet regarding Hatjan or their sole release "Fureur Blanche" (White Fury). Encyclopaedia Metallum (http://www.metal-archives.com/) reports this as having been released in 2005 as a cdr edition of 69 handnumbered copies, however this was ripped from a tape that is numbered 26 of 37. The title and other elements suggest that Hatjan might have a less-than-savory political platform, but the music is enough to frighten the squeamish, and I'm not here for politics or debate, just "music." No credits, no label, no contact information, just pure acid hiss and piercing feedback hell. Indeed, Hatjan fucking hates you.

I FUCKING love this
ReplyDeletelate to the party on this one, but agree with the (only?!?) post above...i REALLY fucking love this. great stuff. thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHm, I don't know if I'm the only one who recognized that, but on the cover there's written hatHan instead of hatJan... Possible that the 'band' itself misspelled their name...?
ReplyDeletebtw, this tape doesn't fucking hate me, but I fucking hate that tape! Random, improvised noise I think. Anyways, thanx for giving me a listen!
Hatjan according to Metal Archives page.
ReplyDeleteListened to this (and Bone Awl) today while driving through a really bad snowstorm for an hour and a half. To me, it sounds like the guy wanted to outdo Ulver's Nattens Madrigal. I rather like it. Thanks!
