Rust is what happens when we walk away. Rust is abandonment. It is the
ultimate fate of our overly-mechanized world. Rust is to iron as the seed
is to the tree. It is what becomes of us all. In our previous episode, we
took you into the world of metal-as-music, covering all sorts of little
objects and impacts and a few bigger things along the way. Maybe this time,
we went a little deeper underground and just a little out of bounds. Maybe
we bent a few laws while bending a little iron, or maybe it.s all good clean
fun. Maybe we took really nice gear to places where nice gear should be taken.
Maybe we went a few places that people don.t go anymore and then we made
a hell of a lot of noise.


We used drumsticks and hammers, hands and feet. We bled a little and sweated
a lot, maybe adding a little of our own rust to the mix. but in the end, we
put everything back where we found it. Back where nobody will probably ever
bother to look again. And then, of course, we also went back home and really
smashed the hell out of lots of cool junk in our recording booth and other
more hospitable spaces. As always we hope you enjoy.

Rust Vol. II covers +3.100 samples of .prepared metal/rust. instruments and
is one of the largest- and most comprehensive sample collections ever done
of metal objects . Rust II covers over 81 different type of .instruments.
from giant aluminum poles to metal bathtubs, from slamming blast doors used
as percussion instruments to massive Hercules (nuclear missile holders) metal
racks, from creaking cell doors to metal objects without names, from massive
metal stairs to slamming large tower rails. The library also includes a sick
sample collection recorded at a sculpture park. The collection holds no less
then 17 different metal sculptures each with their own tonal characteristics.

All instruments were tortured in traditional Tonehammer ways, which includes
using fists, hands, hammers, mallets and a variety of other instruments of
pain. In addition the library follows normal Tonehammer standards in terms
of velocity layering and round robin.
