It’s hard to believe that Chicago industrial-noise institution Bloodyminded haven’t released a studio album in seven years—it seems like the demonic bark of front man Mark Solotroff has been a fixture in this wolf’s nightmares for three times that long! The howling vocals and bowel-splitting electronics on the new Within the Walls (released Tue 11/5 on Solotroff’s Bloodlust! label) could freak out the heartiest of souls. LPs will be available at a Sat 11/30 show with Corrections House at the Empty Bottle, but the band should have CD copies on Sat 11/9 at the Varnish Underground fest (whose huge bill also includes Raspberry Bulbs and Oozing Wound). The venue is secret, but tickets can be had by e-mailing varnishunderground@gmail.com or visiting Permanent Records.
