Ramleh

About

Ramleh. A cataclysmic force birthed in the UK, 1982. Gary Mundy, the perpetual core, alongside a shifting roster of sonic aggressors. This is not music for casual consumption but a full immersion into an auditory abyss. With a staggering 23 releases, mostly on cassette, Ramleh's catalog is a labyrinthine journey through harsh soundscapes. Broken Flag, their label home, a breeding ground for noise and industrial's most obliterating acts, and Ramleh stands as a testament to that ethos. Their sound: a relentless barrage of tape manipulation and live improvisation, where aggressive dynamics rule. The early 1980s saw releases like "Live 1983" and "A Return To Slavery / Slaughter At Random," capturing the raw, tectonic energy of their live shows. "Airborne Babel" and "Hole In The Heart" serve as aural assaults, each track a saturated wave of distortion and feedback. Notable for its sheer ecstasy in noise, the Ramleh experience is an overwhelming saturation that either engulfs completely or repels with its sheer intensity. In the landscape of industrial noise, Ramleh is a monolith, resonating with the cacophonous echoes of contemporaries like Whitehouse and Skullflower. Their extensive cassette releases are artifacts, relics of a time when noise was not just heard but felt in every fiber of being.
