Piercing

Piercing is the noise project of Branden Diven, who also records under his own name and as Genophobia, Knife City and Drenches. The project works with harsh noise and sound collage built from tape loops and electroacoustic techniques, and its titles often turn to historical settings and female figures. Early Piercing releases include the self-released CDr Chains Of Mephistopheles (2020) and the cassettes Victorian Labyrinths (Trust Collective, 2021) and Webs Of Antiquity (Detachment Programs, 2023).
