Sex Is A Dark Friend
Tip! Ruthless, to the point, smut from this 6-way line up of immortal sin noise demigods Black Leather Jesus. Harkening back to a time when the outsiders spoke unspoken languages.
Creationist/sìSon of Sam of mice and men
*253 copies limited edition* 6 part cassette of doom electronics based in parallel on the 6 days of creation and the 6 fatalities in the son of Sam case. The 7” being ‘the 7th day of rest’. ‘if they insist on original sin I will fulfill their creationist fantasy…father, they hate me… and the dragon called times square…'
Fragmentation
*290 copies limited edition. 2022 stock* Fragmentation was the third full-length album from Orphx, originally released in 1996 on the legendary Malignant Records label. Rich Oddie, Christina Sealey, and Aron West had founded the project three years earlier, creating pitch black noisescapes inspired by early industrial music and the extreme fringes of metal. By 1996, West had departed to focus on his absurdist noise project Tropism, while Oddie and Sealey began to push Orphx in a more rhythmic di…
Comfort Knife
*150 copies limited edition. 2022 stock* We are proud to present the debut album from Anjilla who is one half of Autoerotichrist. A startling and confrontational document of sheer noise textures from the immortal corpse or the corpse you can’t get rid of. The unstable and disturbing currents of riverbed noise clattering across the rocks of silt cliffs bubble up before receding again down the reverse side of the waterfall. Super crushing heavy electronics - Ophelia has risen from the creek and wi…
Canada 666
Born in 1996, Âmes Sanglantes is known from numerous splits and massive amounts of cassette releases including work on Xerxes, Labyrinth Recordings, MSBR, The Rita, Hermit, Autoerotichrist, Alberich, flutter, Bob Marinelli and Guilty Connector, despite never having a proper vinyl release until now. In commemoration for the project's 25 year anniversary, Hospital Productions present an assaulting LP of madness clearly following a trajectory from Masonna beauty beast voice noise agony and damnin…
Memorial
Tip! First time vinyl reissue. As part of the 25th anniversary of Hospital Productions, the second CD from Richard Ramirez appeared in the sacred year of 1997 on the monolithic Praxis Dr. Bearmann imprint from Germany producing classics in a near perfect label discography from Merzbow, Macronympha, Militia, Aube, Taint, and more. In tribute to the late Kevin Ogg who was an early and influential member of Black Leather Jesus, Memorial stands as one of "the ones" that put Mr. Ramirez on the map wi…
Entropic trash apotheosis
Tip! "Back in 2009 I had a small exhibition and a collaboration show with Yasutoshi Yoshida (one of my favorite noise artists ever, by the way) at Flying Teapot in Tokyo. I was also supposed to go to his place and record something but I got drunk and lost like an asshole. 13 years later our collaboration mayhem is out." Mastered by Ivan Fu for extra damage. Manuel's (Narcolepsia) words: "Yasutoshi Yoshida and Nicola Vinciguerra have both carved their own corner in underground, being consistent t…
Noisembryo / Noise Matrix
Tip! Noisembryo definitively presented here on cd with bonus disc noise matrix including unreleased material from the same sessions as Noisembryo and counterpart 'hole' and selected recording from the time period. Absolutely can’t be missed for fans of this period of noise deity Merzbow. the bonus disc alone makes this essential for any Merzbow fanatic as well as new listeners. When people ask where to start with Merzbow? This is the answer! The holy grail, not only of Merzbow’s obsessive discog…
The Temple of Sadism
Tip! Jumping Tiger consists of: Richard Ramirez (vocals, feedback) and Dominick Fernow (electronics, metals). Studio versions of two tracks from the now infamous Demo and one unreleased track. "As both old and young entered the temple they were forced to undress and photographed in front the of swordsmiths."
Nothing Matters
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Yes, another Folkstrom album out on OEC. And this is for sure best Folkstorm album ever: True elite industrial noise punk! A mix of best white noise a la Whitehouse and a sort of Cabarte Voltaire dance machine. The Swedish master of Industrial Power Electonic Muzak is giving here a class of how the genre should be made. Several tracks will become hits for a very, very long time. You are warned: buy or die withought knowing the true sound of p/…
Wasteland Jazz Ensemble
Tip! Wasteland Jazz Unit is a staple in the world of destroyed music. With countless releases cataloged by a literal who's who in the field, (cassettes, CDrs and records on American Tapes, Troniks, New Forces, Oxen, Torn Light, Nashazphone and of course - there was a split 7" w/ Tiger Hatchery on Gilgongo), the duo of Jon Lorenz and John Rich occasionally expand their scathing, feedback-saturated reed work into a full ensemble. Here, as a 7 piece group including Dylan Posa (guitar), Edward Ricar…
Green Wheels
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Green Wheels is Merzbow in its most straightforward, most genuine, most uncontrolled and refined form. Originally released by the legendary US label Self Abuse Records in 1995 on CD and 5-inch vinyl record, both housed in a foil-lined cardboard box with the abstract and impressive art work created by the artist himself, which has become another of the fetishist objects of Merzbow and now incredibly hard to find. Like all of his work since the early nineties, Gre…
Rainbow Electronics
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Originally released on CD in 1990 by Alchemy Records as part of the Good Alchemy Series, Rainbow Electronics marks the pinnacle of Merzbow's late 80’s noise phase. Selected and transformed from about 21 hours tape of primitive raw material recorded during three years (1987-1990) in 14 fragments lasting about 74 minutes, this monumental work is an aural trip through a cold plotted universe of intergalactic space ships and golden celestial bodies. Remastered in De…
Piper Club
Piper Club is the choral narration of a heinous suburb. Infinite solitudes, brutal relationships, hyperviolence and addiction, concrete landscapes and puddles of mud. Names, pictures, small geographies corroded and humiliated by obscene writings on the wall, these are the fragments that put together Piper Club’s first album. Unfiltered northeastern Italy, it’s anatomy dissected by trembling hands. Raw power electronics with harsh elements, contaminated by the most morbid hardcore. No synthesizer…
Katatonia
*300 clopies limited edition. 2022 stock* "Obscure solo venture of Heinz Christian Wilp (founder of Der Schwarze Kanal, as well as ZU guitarrist and occasional member, as percussionist, of Das Synthetische Mischgewebe), which was active from 1984 to 1987. “Katatonia”, originally put out by italian cult label ADN (as the Zona Industriale reissue in this batch), is probably the release most people associate with the project, and an absolutely essential document of 80s tape culture that Narcolepsia…
Paradise Pachinko
*200 copies limited release* Paradise Pachinko is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It consists of raw material recorded on four-track cassette. The album is named after and depicts the Pachinko Tengoku pachinko parlor.
Antimonument
*In process of stocking. 300 copies limited edition* "This is probably one of the most industrial Merzbow's records that he ever made. For an album in transitional period between his early musique concrète/sound collage pieces and later harsh noise works that he's best known for, it's nothing surprising. Nevertheless fact remains that Antimonument sounds pretty different from any other of his records, but instead of explaining it by the former way, I'd rather see it as a very intentional artisti…
Vratya Southward
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "It's actually surprising that this album ends up feeling quite a bit different in comparison to Enclosure, considering that they both have used the same source material, raw material from Ecobondage. This one is much more subdued, a series of industrial/musique concréte-like improv pieces evoking Nurse With Wound with its warbly, echoing, factory-like atmosphere, dominated by tape/vinyl scratches, speedups/slowdowns and homemade percussion fr…
Psychorazer
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "An odd release that doesn't seem to follow any sort of a recognizable theme or singular approach to noise, just three random tracks pasted together. In the first track there's not much interesting variation within it. The second track is a cool Music for Films evoking electronic drone that's also 56 seconds long. The main course here is the third track, which is a massive beast of thick fuzz that has a very strange, "rattly" effect to it, ach…
