one of the highlights of the night! Brutal powernoise with explosives that seem 
to almost shatter some eardrums! E.C. make Whitehouse, Bloodyminded, Con-Dom, 
and Grey Wolves seem childish!"
review from houston based  " Dead Audio fest" 

"Ranging from hateful snarls through deliberately tuneless singing up to 
unbearable 
high-pitched shrieking that reminds all of us who've been in bad relationships 
just how downright harsh, spiteful and unpleasant 
a woman's voice can be, she delivers a thoroughly convincing and suitably 
distressing performance"

--Audioghoul magazine


reviews 
One review described the Eugenics Council as
: "brimming with malevolence, and so are her lyrics: "I don't want a fucking 
job/I don't want a goddamn fucking baby/shit, shit, shit". I'm sure if I could 
make out any of the other vocals they would follow suit. The first half of the 
disk sounds like a hardcore band set up to record in an industrial factory, and 
they are losing their voices and blowing their amps trying to drown out the 
noise. Some of the tracks have a surprisingly melodic appeal, with a clean bass 
guitar, undistorted drum machine and clear vocals. As if to discard any melodic 
complacency, this soon gives way to brazenly spite-filled noise, overlapped 
with equally malicious screams. This is not for then weak-eared." 


editor of "Waste Combat" had this to say: "Rosemary Malign's vocal style is 
unique, she could scream about child-fucking and make the audience think it's 
normal, and then in one sentence hit them over the head with their own reality. 
She practices word-hammering, complex simplicity. De-sensitizing the listner to 
the subject matter through repetition and word-play, and then suddenly, plain 
as day, she serves them up a foul and harsh truth, even if it is her your own." 


A review of Rosemary's track on the Extreme Music From Women c.d. (Gary 
Simmons): "First off is Rosemary Malign's 'No You Listen', the best 'song' 
title in this collection by far without yet having heard a single note. Ooh! 
That made me jump, wasn't expecting that! The sound of a mainframe computer (a 
Cray 2 or 3 with any luck) tied to the back of a truck and taken for a scrape 
down the dirt track, bouncing to its piecemeal decimation. The initial 
child-like vocals are almost Ramptonesque ..A deranged cacophony of the very 
highest quality. Wonderfull! What a great way to open the album. " 

Panicsville
PANICSVILLE (Nihlist Records)  PANICSVILLE is primarily a one-man outfit –that 
man being Andy Ortmann- with occasional appearances by a rotating crew of sonic 
terrorists. Over the course of the last several years, PANICSVILLE has released 
three full-length albums, a cut-and-paste record (in a limited edition of 100, 
Ortmann collected and then destroyed 'crates and crates' of records and then 
reassembled them in a playable fashion), and several striking singles. 
Ortmann's tastes seem to run the gamut as his pieces are occasionally 
beautiful, and at other times terrorizing. But beyond the always-compelling 
compositional elements, Ortmann also exhibits a profound concern with the 
conceptual capabilities of his craft. Not simply content with musical 
experimentation, Ortmann attempts to push 'consumers' beyond preconceived or 
assumed notions of track sequencing, formatting and even packaging in an 
attempt to synthesize each project into it's own abstracted entirety.
