Dead Door Unit

Playing The Flute Down Baltimore Pike
*50 copies limited edition* Dead Door Unit is the solo noise moniker of Ken Geiger, a prolific experimental and metal musician from NJ. Vocalist for the death metal band Blemish and one half of the junk noise duo Master Grave Services, Ken has been releasing high test tape noise as Dead Door Unit since 2022, and for years before that under his own initials. DDU is a sonic scrapheap of mangled degradation. Junkyard sampling, vertigo-inducing loops, and careening feedback tangle together in twiste…
Dead Harbor

Laugh At The Devil
Tip! *2024 reprint* Dead Door Unit is the alias of Northeastern US artist Ken Geiger. The project follows in an exploratory vein of tape-recorded junk noise and field recordings. "Laugh At The Devil" is a work raucously out-of-time, bringing to mind the murk of mid-aughts Hanson releases or even the obscure malice of Dom Fernow's earlier work. Geiger breeds a fresh perspective through destruction and reassembly; "desperation."
