About Us


There is a good chance you found us accidentally by using the word “taint” in your search (If you found us on purpose, you deserve our accolades). Of course, we don’t know what you were looking for, but you stumbled on a damn cool project. Look around; let us help send you on a musical journey. Here you will find a number of album reviews from the strange and extreme to the tame and mainstream. Our reviewers are a bunch of obsessive miscreants. Most of us are avid music collectors and have been involved in the music world for decades. A couple of us have been in or are still in bands.

There are no rules on Tickle Your Taint Blog. Our reviewers might make you laugh, or piss you off; both results are legitimate. One reviewer might write a glowing review of an album; another might tear it apart. We may have a new review every week, or we could end up with one every six months. This blog exists as a social experiment to build community among a diverse group of music maniacs – our reviewers and hopefully you.

Thantifaxath, Hive Mind Narcosis (2023)

 


By Jack Rafferty


Thantifaxath makes some of the most tense, discordant, unsettling music out there. The choice to use a Goya piece for their cover art seems fitting. I’ve always appreciated that Thantifaxath approach their particular type of cacophonous music with clarity and focus. There is a space that each member of the band provides to the other, and it all blends very well, as opposed to just becoming a wall of noise. I loved Sacred White Noise, and it has been quite a while since then. I am glad Thantifaxath have continued making music and put this out, as I kind of thought they had split or something. They are never an easy listen, but they are a rewarding one.
