Lyoto Music
Lyoto Music was a terrific collaboration between Pietro Mazzocchin (The New Sadism, Observation Clinique and Swastika Kommando) and Pierpaolo Zoppo (Mauthausen Orchestra) which flows into a unique cassette published in 1984 by Aquilifer Sodality. Mastered from original master tape kindly provided by Andrea Cernotto with the full permission of Pietro Mazzocchin. “As far as I remember, Lyoto Music was one of the most appreciated items and possibly one of the best-sellers in the (Aquilifer) Sodalit…
CMRS/OPEA
Mindblowing double LP taken by a Maurizio Bianchi impossible-to-find early tape (from 1980!) "decomposed" in October 1980 using cacophonelectronics, and dedicated to the physical attraction to Sylvia Simonelli (September 1980/June 1981) “The genesis of this work is incredible. In the office where I worked, I had found a stamp with ‘’COMPRESA’’ (in English, included) written over it, and so I came to the starting point for a new experimental work. Erasing before the second, fourth, sixth and ei…
Ala Tee Huorin
These two purveyors of fine Finnish filth have collaborated many times in the past (recommended “Assisted Self-Sterilization” on Freak Animal) and this unholy partnership continue to flourish today . Älä Tee Huorin is the final documentation as separate entities and it was released like double tape in a white double poly box on Filth & Violence and Untergeschoss in only 54 copies and now available for the first time in vinyl edition.Side A include the two tracks on original tape one.

Amputaatio
Bizarre Uproar is a Finnish power electronics slash harsh noise project initiated in 1992 by Markkula. The thematic subject matter is founded in extreme sexual transgressions, and rests within a totalitarian fetish culture at the explicitly perverse spectrum of human erotics. Central concepts within this context are pleasure carnage and death ritualization; mixed with an affixed seething desire to exercise fetid sexualized violence and humiliate the contemporary - sans safewords - towards utter …
Queen Sheets
Some time ago a colleague emailed me and informed me that an artist made a short video of herself knitting to The Rita's 'Thousands of Dead Gods.' I watched the short video and thought it was interesting, but then also noticed that the woman had a link included on her 'Instagram' account for her sculptural works. I had a look at her work and was instantly taken by the sheer immensity and power of her structures, all exemplary of long hours of labour and provocative patterns behind the material…
In the Abscence of Self-Control
For over a decade, Climax Denial has been exploring a unique and evolving approach to the power-electronics genre. Beginning with his debut tape on Hospital Productions, and following with dozens of other sought-after releases: peerless in their stalker/submissive debauchery. Alex Kmet with his Climax Denial project practically bathes in its own urgent sexuality, stalking through each album with glassy eyes and a raging boner, just like the protagonists of all of those classics you are tempted t…
Ottoman Black
Ottoman Black is a masterful damn record, an album of midnight drones and true noise, a definitive statement that makes most other noise records of this ilk seem immature, if not outright stillborn. From cover’ s photography , presenting mundane situation with an air of isolated, hysterical desperation, to the track titles, presented in the style of an academic outline (I.,II.,a.,b.,etc.) this is a formally conceived and meticulously crafted 35 minutes, leaving nothing untitled or untidy.…
The Passion Of Rubbers
The question of what’s one’s favorite item from their collection (or accumulation) consistently pops up in conversations amongst fans and collectors, and this unquestionably is always my answer. From head-to-toe, insert-to-tape, all elements are in glorious harmony and conversation with what another. Having the G.R.O.S.S. label’s ’industrial design’ fetish/obsession (some would say a relatively antiseptic departure from much of the other noise tapes of the time) articulating the sexualize…

Justmeat
Taint is known to be one of the most powerful and pervert act in the power electronics scene. A kind of juiced up, Taint squared a brutal stew of screaming high-end feedback, crushing distorted scrape and corrosive furious vocals that are overlaid with sheets of white noise.’’Justmeat’’, that was released on Slaughter Production (SPT 40) in 1995, showed Taint at his best. Fucking brutal!
The record has been pressed on 140 gr black vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve and comes …
A breed apart
John Balistreri and his project Slogun are perfectly known to those interested in industrial subculture. ‘’A Breed Apart’’ was originally released on cassette by Slaughter Productions (SPT 86) in 1996, and it was packaged in a beautifully designed, oversized sleeve with a vellum overlay with a cult serial killer photo from one of the victims of Harvey Glattman. Mass murders and crimes have been used to finely illustrate uncompromising tracks full of hatred against society, the sound of wh…
Collection in Formaldeide
In 1994 the activity of the Slaughter Productions becomes more and more frantic, releasing countless tapes. In the same year, leaving four important works of Atrax Morgue on cassette, the first of which is ‘’Collection In Formaldeide’’.

Autofagia
N. is a project from Italy devoted to the most obscure-evil side of power electronics sounds and concepts. Close in a total nothingness and nihilism, N. created minimal violent sound texture to express his exasperate no-sense of existence. Here the genial work of an autistic mind, closed for the rest of living beings … ‘' from original liners note.

Bangkok
Balanced dynamic monotony with subtle nuances and layered sound production. Clear and detailed constructions in an oblique and dense environment halting to the breaking point of suffocation. Near static insistent walls and compositions where audio shreds, erupts, buries, tense, hammers and feedback. In-your-face abrasive tracks with voiding atmosphere. Focus on panning of left/mid/right channels. Heavy use of mid-to-low end frequencies. Spoken word material consists of honest conversation…
s/t
For over 20 years Black Leather Jesus has been there, watching, waiting, playing in small, poorly-lit rooms. Founded by Richard Ramirez in 1989, everything they do is harsh, chaotic, and completely unlistenable to the sane mind. Ramirez was inspired by the gay S&M scene to create something that will haunt the hallowed halls of your soul. Seattle's incredibly prolific doom metal outfit Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, consisting primarily of members Stan Reed and wm.Rage, have released a slew of Lp,7-in…
Vihameditaatio
Bizarre Uproar is one of the colossal phenomenon in Finnish harsh noise scene. Throughout the years, this artist has gradually taken the Bizarre Uproar concept to more and more extreme level not only sound wise, but also ideologically fulfilling the ideas behind the sounds. Hate Meditation. Wrapped in darkness, tight as second skin. Suffocating (like) latex mask. Purification in filth and violence, cleansed in flesh and blood that are shit and piss, enlightenment in everlasting ejaculation. New …
