Negative/Offensive
A project in celebration of the work and influence of mysterious UK (anti) artist noise outfit The New Blockaders as constructed by Houston, Texas black whips and male-on-male noise pioneer Richard Ramirez (Black Leather Jesus et al) and the sadly departed Japanese harsh noise maestro Koji Tano (MSBR). A mail collaboration where each artist would send source materials to be decomposed by each other. Fantastic walls of brutal shard skum splatter taken to points of demented anguish and resultant c…
La Mutazione
A milestone originally released in 1985 on the legendary Broken Flag label. Many people say La Mutazione is the darkest piece of music they have ever heard and it´s hard to disagree. This compact disc edition comes with a previously unreleased bonus track and with updated artwork and 12-page booklet explaining the history of Toniutti's work. A classic for any fan of MB, Ramleh, or simply the Broken Flag label
In Hoc Urbia Miazi
After more than 28 years the seminal contamination by Maurizio Bianchi / MB called "Sacher-Pelz" is finally back with dyslexic hollows in the hypertoxic forewarning of scrupulous connoisseurs: "In Hoc Urbia Miazi" is its irrational title, and you should take note of this for your survival ! Uncompromising & best quality old-school industrial-noise like in the very early "Come Organisation" times by this Italian Cult project! Scotomatous production subdivided in seven concrete evidences, realized…
The industrious tubal-cain
The Industrious Tubal-Cain" which combines the old, harsh sound of M.B. to his newer, more experimental and often more minimal approach.
Nevrobatterio
New recordings from one of the true pioneers of noise music, Maurizio Bianchi. Two overwhelming, relentless, long-duration drone/noise compositions. Essential listening.
And Still, Wanting
A tale of lost love and desperation, this is prurient's full length follow up to the acclaimed Pleasure Ground. And Still, wanting takes the recent new direction of combining layered synth's and electronic loops with his usual poignant vocals to a whole new level of intensity. A new chapter in obsession with all that is mundane in our human life. This special 1000 copies first edition of the CD comes with a bonus 5' vinyl titled 'Shield' with tracks that won't be available anywhere else + 12 pag…
The Ontology Of Noise
Mastered by Denis Blackham. The Ontology of Noise researches the dark associations of post-black metal. No traditional instruments are used on the album and all techniques are digital in their application. There are almost no arrangements or layers, but the pieces consist of single streams which change intuitively. This makes The Ontology of Noise a concrete journey through an abstract language evolving around light and darkness, nature and artificiality, and sometimes even takes the form of a s…

Carboniferus
Zu have just finished mixing their new cd, which happens to be also their Ipecac Recordings debut and features collaborations with Mike Patton and King Buzzo of The Melvins . “Carboniferous” cd comes after one year of consistent touring in quartet with Patton. The album opens with an amazing, almost’ techno-hypnotic’, bass and drum assault only to be rudely interupted by what sounds like an insane, distorted saxophone. Time signatures are all over the place, but not out of control, which adds a…
Senmaida
Masami Akita serves up a cacophony of high tension frequencies and blasting rhythms in his newest evolution, Senmaida. Housed in a digipak featuring cover art by Val Denham and photos by Jenny Akita.
Turmeric
Brooding harsh malevolence packed into a 4 disc box-set with luxurious foil stamped slip cover & photos of the in-flight bomber taken by Jenny Akita. Abrasive analog and digital wings give Tumeric flight as an altogether different bird. Limited edition of 900.
Faces the Firing Squad (1978-81)
Third Door from the Left was a project formed by Raye Calouri (now in the band Hydra) and Kevin Thorne (We Be Echo). Both met at the TG/Cabaret Voltaire-Gig in 1978 and decided to join forces and make their own kind of music. The result of those session recordings between October 1980 and Augsut 1981 has been astonishing and a classic of its genre. This classic Tape-Release is in line with the best Throbbing Gristle releases and as serious collector / listener to TG you just can’t miss this cla…
The Story of COUM Transmissions and THROBBING GRISTLE
Wreckers of Civilisation tells the story of two interconnected groups: the performance art group COUM Transmissions and the music group Throbbing Gristle, focusing on their key protagonists – Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fani Tutti, Peter Christopherson and Chris Carter. "These people are the wreckers of civilisation", exlaimed the conservative Member of Parliment Nicholas Fairbairn in 1976.

Black Vase
7th album from noise maker extraordinaire who attacks 2 large amplifiers w/2 microphones swirling into the invisible electro-magnets fields around the amps. His masterwork of harshness that feat. drums in addition to his wailing subsonic shit fest.
13 Japanese Birds Vol. 1
Opening up Merzbow's new 13-disc series of monthly releases themed around Japanese birds, Suzume gets underway with even more of a bang than the usual Merzbow fare, combining those familiar, expertly wrought noise emissions with wild, flailing drums. The first track, 'Red Bird Of Summer Part 1' lasts some twenty minutes, dishing out aural punishment at every conceivable frequency. After a while it becomes apparent that for better or worse, the drumming somehow detracts from the intensity of the …

The Black Post Society
The Black Post Society embraces and accepts the depression of not having anything left to hunt. The mask without a face to hold. The depression of the hunter after the deer is killed. It is better to be hungry than to have eaten. As fantasy shatters under the whip of reality, erotic malaise settles in the nest of the mind inverting this dormant fuel to rekindle the endless cycle of sexual chaos. Black industrial / power noise from this highly respected US act!
People Who Do Noise
People Who Do Noise is a film about the experimental music of Portland, Oregon. Extensive interviews and intimate performance footage provide an intense portrait of the motivations, emotions, and ideas that go into this uncompromising, sometimes brutal musical form. Unwavering in its focus, the film brings to light an art form unfathomable to many, with only the words of the musicians themselves providing any explanation for the pulsating sonic chaos they create.The film takes a very personal a…
