Unsane
First official release of this Italian sonic assoult. Harsh psychedelic noise influenced by C.C.C.C. and Incapacitans. LP comes in a deluxe silver silk screen on black cardboard sleeve, and is limited to 114 hand numbered copies. Possibly the most extreme recording you will ever own!
Black Chapel
Awesome release by the label Urashima, here's Werewolf Jerusalem, the side project of Richard Ramirez (Black Leather Jesus). A study in static textures and crackling wall noise. A project initially influenced by the work of Chop Shop. LP comes in a deluxe silver silk screen on black cardboard sleeve limited to 114 hand numbered copies. Amazing!
red light companion
After lots of delays and mishaps, we are now happy to announce the release of this massive box set. Offered here is three full length vinyl LPs by the Swedish master of harsh noise minimalism and perversity -- BLOD.In the late 90's, Blod released two full length tapes that were only distributed in a mere handful of copies. Both these recordings are now presented in this box, on one LP each. The third LP contains the Blod tracks from his split CDR with Goat on the Japanese Xerxes label -- it was …

LP-only release. This is the third full-length release by KTL, the formidable collaboration between Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))), Khanate, etc.) and Peter Rehberg (Pita, etc.). Another soul-destroying follow-up to the highly-acclaimed 2, with more accompaniments created for the theatre piece, Kindertotenlieder by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, which premiered in Brest, France, March 2007. Perhaps the broadest bulletin from the duo thus far, featuring two contrasting tracks. The layered dementia …
The Fall Of Nature
As far as the history of power electronics goes, few acts have maintained as much interest and activity as Sutcliffe Jügend. The duo of Paul Taylor and Kevin Tompkins has released crucial early recordings on labels as revered as Come Organization and Broken Flag. The group has resumed actions under the Sutcliffe Jügend banner with a return album, This is the Truth last year also on Hospital Productions. While that record pleased fans old and new with the power electronics style SJ helped pioneer…
Tumbler
Total Head Crush Destruction from Mr Wiese (also of Sissy Spacek and LHD, works with Sunn 0)), etc,etc), if your head was made out of a boulder the sounds here enclosed are still designed to leave behind nothing but blood stain dust. Side A is the eternal acid rain that we all fear slowly melting your skin away and reminding of your insignificant humanity, Side B is a metallic behemoth continously punching you from all directions leaving you with just enough unbroken bones so that you can…
Untitled 1980
rare tape, issued in 40 copies only "and about MB tape, its originally right channel only recorded stuff (+ low level white noise on left channel). here is a MBs note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, Ive only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because Im not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "UNTITLED 1980" t…
Rainbow Electronics 2
1996 release on Jim O'Rourke's old label, surprisingly repressed for 2008. First non-reissue on this label - an unreleased companion to the 1990 Alchemy label masterpiece. The designation 'Rainbow' contrasts with the odd colorlessness of the many noise records. Like Voice Crack, this is power electronics at its most detailed, most subtly varied, and most exhaustively kinetic. It doesn't stop. It's a thrill every two seconds, for seventy-five minutes... It splits into halves, quarters, and more u…
Noise As a Language
Abstemious Austrian composer who committed suicide in 2007. Two long pieces, one that builds up from violins all making a slightly different type of scratching. The second piece uses computer processing, and does a great job of establishing a droning floor and then dropping through to a lower frequency beneath, or suddenly revealing a pulse without simply fading things in & out. Comes with a book that contains an interview with Zibigiew Karkowski (Weirdo Records)“So the point is that so mu…
Mectpyo Bakterium
2014 repress, originally released in 1998. First issued by the Mnemonists' label (Dys in the U.S.) in 1982. M.B.: proto-electronics, compositions, arrangements. Mektpyo Bakterium is a work furnished of implacable plastic exasperation. The icy oppression, the hallucinative electronic wounds, are a precious and singular fact in a technological society brought to the limit. The emotion is pushed into dangerous zones, and unusual zones, and unusual tensions -- free biological groans of extreme e…
Neuro Habitat / Moerder Unter Uns
2014 repress, originally released in 1998. Reissue of a private LP, issued in an edition of 300 copies in 1982 by Maurizio Bianchi ; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the "soundtrack" of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It's the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbur…
Menses
2014 repress, originally released in 2000. First issued on the Broken Flag label in the UK in an edition of 500 in 1983. A different style, providing some distance from all his previous works; a more expansive experimentation with multiple layers of synthesizer sounds. Still very intense. M.B.'s recordings come closest to classical electronics, but always with a very personal style. This CD edition also features an interview on Radio Popolare in Milan from 1/1/83. An English translation i…
Symphony For A Genocide
2014 repress of these classic M.B. albums (M.B. = Maurizio Bianchi, for those of you who haven't been saved yet). These were first reissued in 1998 by EEs'T (a division of Alga Marghen) and are now back again. Symphony... was the first M.B. album, issued in 1981, at the gates of the industrial noise revolution (it was also reissued on CD in the U.S. on Hospital Productions). "ArcheoMB" is the title given to the complete reprint of old M.B. records and here is part 1. EEs'T Records and M.B. …
Butterfly
Intensive elektronik and cold old school industrial at his very best! A long awaited return from this duo, finally with some new material. Haus Arafna does a disturbingly brilliant job of exploring the more uncomfortable side of human nature. The band has a ten year history of uncompromising dedication to their art. With no regard for anything but the bands artistic integrity they have stayed true to their vision and now celebrate a hard earned tenth year anniversary. If you have not checked in …
