Noise, Violence And Destroy
Sabotage Organized Barbarian, best known by their acronym S.O.B were part of a hardcore punk movement in the 80s that envigorated Japanese youth along with other acts like GISM and Gauze. The ravaging tempos and punishing aural densities grappled with the ears, and their sphere of influence quickly broke the banks of their native Osaka, with acts like Napalm Death acknowledging the bands importance for their own sound and grindcore to come. In 1988, S.O.B teamed up with Alchemy Records founder …
Freak-Out Your Friends!
35 minute live gig recorded at TUSK Festival, Gateshead Old Town Hall, Newcastle, England 2015 by Sam Grant. Very special Thanks to Lee Etherington. B-side contains entire gig backwards. This is possibly my favorite set I've ever performed. (Aaron Dilloway)
Dawn Of The Bloody Tapes
The Cherry Point returns with the long gestating follow-up to Night of the Bloody Tapes, a speaker-shredding demolition across two tracks of unforgiving hell. Recorded in Los Angeles, 2020–2024, Dawn of the Bloody Tapes is an unrelenting underground audio annihilation fueled by xeroxed zines, shot-on-tape traumas, and scrambled late-night broadcasts. All electronics by Phil Blankenship. Mixed by John Wiese.
It's exactly what you think it is.

Tractor
Edition of 50 copies Archival release from those hazy early 90s Sint-Niklaas adrenaline soaked days by Tractor, a band that rose out of the ashes of Philadelphia '69 (drummer Jan D'Hooghe and guitarist Jimmy Van Landeghem) and Doodt Illegaal (bassplayer Djackies) with Jan writing most of the songs on a one string acoustic guitar.

Waters
*40 copies limited edition* Harsh noises from slightly splatters to massive fontains by nodolby from Italy and Exedo from Germany.Nodolby: "Nodolby's sounds constantly shift between the rhapsodic and the minimal, organized and destabilized sound flow. The sound sources are old, broken and bented devices – the aim of the process being the search for musicality in the most abstract sounds and explore limits and opportunities of control."(attenuation circuit)Exedo: "Headcleaning, dynamic harsh nois…

Circular Reference
Masami Akita continues his work as the world's premiere extreme dynamicist on 'Circular Reference,' his latest full-length and first for No Holiday. It's a torrent of synthesized tones colliding against punishing layers of feedback and midrange noise. But there are also snatches of lurching rhythms to be found, as well as moments of relative uneasy calm. More than anything, it's distinctly Merzbow. Released on 2xLP and CD formats, the latest from this titan of noise is sure to please longtime li…
Old Town
The headshop burnt down,Rubble and spice mashed into the ground on Capel Street.Dancing on top of taxis, on top of heads.Two cats born in a hole,The streets are empty the pubs are full.Everything between the canals,Left in a bright hoard.Spending time in the old town.
Dread Harvest
Form Hunter returns with their first full-length album since 2021's "Violent Adaptation" (Troniks / Helicopter). Dread Harvest refines their signature blend of in-the-red tape abuse, violent scrap metal, saturated loops, and high-energy noise. Crafted from raw and physical recording sessions in a decaying barn, these four tracks channel the euphoric chaos of Form Hunter's live assaults, leaving behind a crater of crumpled magnetic tape, iron filings, rusty nails, wood, rocks, and dirt. From unco…
