Pupa rated #2 Noise track of 2012

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2012/12/ten_best_noise_tracks_2012.php?page=4

2. Lantern
"Pupa" (self-released)
New Yorkers Bryce Brushnefski and Joseph Henaghan feed codeine to their de-tuned guitars and stage a prolonged death match so epic, unrelenting, and crude that it'll help you get over the lack of Dead C product this year. These dudes make tons of noise in a slew of other bands and projects that are worth exploring, if this sort of thing is your jeweled chalice of lye.

Reverse sonic prolapse vibratory medication.  If Bryce and I lived in the same town there would likely be a weekly Lantern release.  Magick should not be tailored to trick you, but to make you believe.

Lantern - Demo 03

Thanks to "Anonymous" who provided this gem.  Back then, it was just drone.  Before the white noise crept in and started to devalue any concept of musicality.

This is what happens when you work night shift in a comic book warehouse and live in a cave.

Review of Lantern - Pupa on splicetoday.com

http://www.splicetoday.com/music/three-larks-in-boomerang-schwing

Judging by Joseph Henaghan's blog, he is something of a musical-project slut, lending a discordant guitar to assist and enable any and all comers. What makes Henaghan unique, in my eyes, is that downloadable evidence of his every creative entanglement surfaces on archive.org, that steadfast outpost of random modern obscurity and ubiquity. His motto—“I will make sounds that melt your head”—should tell you everything you need to know, though it is recommended that you give his oeuvre a test drive to get a cursory sense of what he’s capable of.

If you don’t have time for that, just grab the 30-minute long “Pupa,” which Henaghan cut with Bryce Brushnefski, another guitar interrogator of unusual sensitivity and tenderness, as Lantern. The discordant fruits of the duo’s musical union are blowtorch subtle, with a great deal of atonal parry, holler, and heave: sometimes the point seems to be cock (rock)-measuring blunder, sometimes there are wonderfully wrongheaded and tinnitus-enabling attempts to escape Earth’s orbit, sometimes they appear to lose consciousness altogether, and then sometimes both determinedly uncouth axmen seem to be feeling their way blindly through a cruel, unforgiving world free of guideposts, mood stabilizers, and clean amplifier tone.

What I enjoy, though, is that as much as Henaghan and Brushnefski are making “Pupa” up as they go along, there’s a self-cannibalizing hook/motif at the core of this white-hot navel gaze that offers the listener something of a sonic signal light to follow through to the light at whatever k-hole they’re leading you into. I stop just short of using the phrase “idiosyncratic sonic signal” because either these dudes are serious mid-career Dead C. stans or I stumbled into the mother of all coincidences."

Jason Ormsby (A.k.a. Jelvis, J-O etc) has been a musical co-conspirator of mine since day one. I remember in 1998 him talking of creating a Irradiated Alien Bovine persona to torture willing ears with. This project was long delayed by the scattering of its players across zip codes and time zones. Recorded in the basement of the Koffee Katt in Plattsburgh NY.

Lantern - Pupa

Inverse black hole journey into the center of a round corner. Only a few ears were ripped to shreds in the spewing of this blasphemic anti-music sonic fuckery. Surprisingly, only guitars were used to create this sonic abuse. Who needs fancy noise machines when armed with blazing loud amplifiers, dark beer and loved ones.

Joseph Henaghan & Leta Gray - Hail Dead Babies

2006 was a funny year. Newly relocated to the filthy capital region, miles from the madness, but still somehow living in the woods. Leta came to visit several times, bringing steak, tattoos and noise. Dronedoomnoisesatanmadness.

Lantern - Traveling Through Recessus Labyrinthi... and the Uncharted Encephalon Spring 2004

Recorded in 2004, this mindfuck turns inside out on itself and regurgitates chaos into the sonic palate. The name alone of this sonic nightmare was a birthing of pure madness. Twin guitar drone and pure volume. The soundscape of a barren wasteland with minivans burned to the ground in a act of mindless tribal violence.

Recorded on a Tascam 4 track that I traded a signed photo of William Shatner for.
