Our Latest Release on Load Records, "Blassstphlegmeice" has just arrived for Feruary 6th,2007.

Here is an Early review:

I am wondering if the world were actually taken over by gigantic mutated mice, if all music would just inevitably sound like this. Crazy thought I know, but after listening to the new album BLASsSTPhLEGMEICE by Providence, Rhode Island noise makers White Mice I have to begin to ask myself that question. In the end I am just not quite sure. I mean, these mice are obviously very disgruntled and looking to seek revenge for years of torture in labs and test facilities in the most bloodiest of manner. Not all mice can be this way, can they?

I got to hand it to these guys; they are entirely dedicated to their craft, all the way from their bloodied and disfigured mouse costumes to the constant running mouse-like themes of their songs and albums. It truly goes a long way in saying that these guys are definitely a bit disturbed in some shape or form. I can?t imagine any other setting really where this shtick would necessarily go over well. However, whenever you hear the trio?s music, it all makes sense very quickly. These dudes are serious about being mice. Not just mice, but mice with the sole intent of wiping out all of humanity.

Their latest album and second for Load, BLASsSTPhLEGMEICE, is yet another huge slab of nauseating noise. Fueled by bass, drums, and an oscillator?the result could very well be deafening at high volumes. Hell, it could be deafening at mid level volumes. It?s definitely not for the weak hearted or for anyone who has a fear of murdering mice. I have a feeling the number for the latter will be rising here very shortly. But anyway, one noticeable difference about this album when compared to their last, ASSPhIXXXEATATESHUN, is that the muddy production qualities have been pretty much eliminated. Whether this is a good thing or not has yet to be determined as it could be argued that the muddied clarity of the last album was yet just another portion of the groups sound. To these ears though, it doesn?t hurt a thing and it?s actually quite nice to sort of hear just what the fuck these guys are doing to those poor poor instruments. I suppose it?s all fine and dandy, so long as it?s the instruments that receive the beating and not us unsuspecting humans.

BLASsSTPhLEGMEICE is available now through Load Records. It?s definitely recommended to those that are interested in the more extreme end of noise-rock, and by extreme?I mean pretty damn extreme. Do check this out.
