Mechanization Takes Command
"Mechanization Takes Command" was first released on Music-Cassette by Masami Akita on his own ZSF label back in 1983 and this, after 40 years, is the very first re-edition into CD format. A very special and historical album. The large part of sounds on this album have an analogue origin. Masami on this album plays Drums (?) and Guitar (?)... But also many other instruments and sound-surces such as TV ands Vocal samples. And of course Electronics, Loops, Effects, Drum-Machines... The overall is v…

Default Standard
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of Japan's experimental music scene in the late '80s, Incapacitants had beginnings as Toshiji Mikawa's solo project in 1981. The original epicenter of their creative endeavors was Osaka, where Mikawa collaborated with luminaries such as Yamatsuka Eye, JOJO and others. However, the trajectory of Incapacitants evolved with a move to Tokyo, where Fumio Kosakai joined forces with Mikawa, solidifying the current duo that continues t…
A Stranger To Extreme
Western Siberian crime electronics centered around the figure of serial killer Vladimir Mukhankin. Feedback, vocals, tv samples, no computer editing.
Year Zero
Barbarian Red Terror PE from the old cold world. Their most powerful statement to date, after two already impressive efforts on Styggelse and NBM. In the works for ages, recorded two times and submitted in its most powerful final version just before the pandemic broke loose... The perfect soundtrack for these final years of so called capitalist ''civilization'' in humanity's fading glow. Just excellent. Comes with an accompanying 24 page zine featuring visuals and manifesto from the band. So ex…
Like Straw and Meaningless
Cría Cuervos is the personal project of our old pal Eugenio Maggi, active since the 90s, and one of the most discreet, elusive, meaningful participants to 'the scene' that come to my mind when I think about ''italian underground''. ''Like Straw and Meaningless'' continues his new phase started with ''Bovarism'' on JDV moving from dark / ambient territories to a more stripped down yet atmospheric form of harsh noise. First copies come with a sticker.
Un Destino Perfido
Parassitismo from Genova come back with a vengeance delivering an impressive second effort, after a much praised self-titled debut cassette on their home imprint, Diazepam (also reissued on CD by AAD). Eerie, cold and murky synth-driven PE with a piercing dosage of feedback loops and junk / glass wreckage. "Un destino perfido" [trad. "A wicked fate"] has been recorded during a rather black summertime in the band's rehearsal room, located in the glorious Staglieno cemetery; apparently some voice…
s/t
Here are four recent Finnish noise artists cooking up a split with outstanding harsh noise, on a release that stands on its own feet. If you’ve been following what's happening in the scene, you should already know that these artists can definitely deliver. On top of everything, on this split they've found a common thread to make this release feel like a proper album, a rarely achieved feat with splits or compilations. There is also a double cassette metal box of this material released by Relictu…
Burnout
Impakt is a regressive combination of high speed freestyle junk noise and electronics overload. No effort has been spared to deliver a fast moving freight train of bricks and porcupines crunching through your walls and/or eardrums. When the velocity is too high the G-forces will take care of the rest. Bones will snap like potato chips at a marathon of George A. Romero movies. Burnout is the first album of this collaboration between Finnish lardmongers MT (Unclean, Stinkfinger) and PD (Kartio, Um…

Love Is An Excessive Thing
*100 copies limited edition* "Love is an excessive thing. Love is a sword which cuts both ways, in degrees that can’t be fully understood in the moment. nd is a project that celebrates, embodies, and wishes to spread light on the full extremity of love. This means understanding that sometimes what feels like love can hurt, can harm. We made this recording on a day that embodies that duality for us, Mother’s Day – in 2022, a year that stretched our limits and definitions of love.
Love is an exces…
Crack
Reissue of the 1994 b/b tapes release. Arising from the same sessions that produced the legendary cassettes “Grind” and “White Music”, Macronympha’s highly sought-after “Crack” is a tour de force of psychedelic harsh noise and deranged, in-studio manipulations. Master tape transferred by Grant Richardson, and restored faithfully in line with the original issue.
Cafe OTO
A documentation of prolific Japanese noise master Merzbow's double show at London's Cafe OTO in October 2016.
Venal / Heteronormative Musik För Att Stärka Medelklassens Självbild
Tip! White Centipede Noise proudly presents: 2 all time classic tapes, now on 1 compact disc! Treriksröset is one of the all time masters of hands-on orthodox harsh noise, making even the most world-weary naysayers keep their candle lit for this type of ecstatic art. The two tapes being presented here are staples of modern harsh noise and belong in every collection. Even if you have the originals, you need this CD just for the brilliant bargain-bin layout by Tony Stovik.
Melee
Tip! *2023 stock* Shanked is Wyatt Howland (Skin Graft) and Roman Levya (Plague Mother, Slit Throats). "Melee" is an unrelenting outburst of Midwest harsh noise, the distillation of the frustrations, ugliness, and anger forged in the post-industrial wreckage of Cleveland, Ohio. Six tracks of nonstop high-energy combustion. Monolithic heaviness abounds, but "Melee" has plenty of dynamism to keep the energy rush in a constant state of escalation. The union of two heavyweights of contemporary harsh…
Exophilie
*200 copies limited edition.* Heavy scrap metal harsh noise and exploratory, sensory-degrading video game - Exophilie is a training tool to prepare congitive adaptation in the azathothcene and speculative effects of libidinal anticosmic frequencies on human boundaries. Explorable 3D representations of the audio logs are available by scanning the QR code inside the album (Windows only). CW: Strobes, loud noise and aberrant extraterrestrial erotism.
Tightrope Walker
Tip! *315 copies limited edition* Barstool Mountain returns to Absurd Exposition after the well-regarded "III" CD from 2022. On "Tightrope Walker", the project's debut LP, Mattias Gustafsson continues his "harried, frazzled, grizzled" experiments in tape mangling with his Altar of Flies alter-ego. The album furthers the buildings-crumbling barrage of "III", leaving just enough room to realize that the walls are coming down hard.
Hand / Fist
Noise Against Fascism flexes their tendons, clenches their fist and pulls back from the brink to deliver a blistering cacophony of harsh electronics for a new release on Brachliegen. Hand/Fist is aural struggle against a feeling of contemporary socio-political melancholia, manifest in two differing approaches to confrontational noise and bludgeoning tone. In the wake of a relentless decimation of social communality, Mathias Kristersson cites the importance of art and utopian ideals for both the …

Dysphoria Ultra
Heavily damaged noise by Steven Purtill, that you may know as a talented visual artist for Kiddiepunk, etc. Following a handful of brilliant self released tapes, still a fairly obscure name that truly deserves more recognition.
