New Arrivals
Obitorio Veneto
conceived by artist Nico Vascellari as contribution to the Diedrich Diedrichsen-curated exhibition Rock Scissors Paper at Kunsthaus Graz. Lago Morto is “about things that casting calls usually exclude -- targeted aggression, unpredictable social effects and local politics.” The band performed for fifteen days in Vittorio Veneto in nonmusical venues such as bars, hotels, pizzeriaa, laundrettes, video stores etc. All fourteen of the band’s songs are on the CD. The DVD contains a video from each of…
Sissy Spacek
Just arrived, stellar release as usual! FIRST EDITION ON VINYL!!! In 1999 SISSY SPACEK made their first recordings as a more or less "conventional" blur/grindcore duo consisting of CORYDON RONNAU (vocals) and JOHN WIESE (bass and drum machine). Shortly after, the band entered a recycling period in which Wiese produced a number of albums and EPs, the first of which was this s/t CD (originally released on Helicopter), transforming their original source material into hardcore musique conc…

Merzphysics
This 10xCD box set composed of previously unreleased recordings from 1993–95, it focuses on pure noise from before the introduction of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. The noise is described as being linked to grindcore, having a sense of speed, and was recorded live to cassette. Merzphysics can be considered to be a sequel to Merzbient, which also features unreleased vintage cassette recordings.As with some of the tracks on Merzbient, the titles are taken from cassette brands: AX…
Weight
Nolan Throop is well known for his solo project Kakerlak and several brilliant collaborations. Parallel to this has always cultivated a passion for industrial and the more obscure noise, in constant progression through its project vergraben before and rumination now. Short tracks, monotonous and percussive, sounding like a degraded version of the SPK. Old drum machines, junk metal loops and radio voices that create industrial marches covered with a thick dose of negativity…

In a special edition release with the original studio recordings, and an Artist special vinyl engraving. By public demand. The second on a series of Artist editions. Edition of 100 copies.

Suppression In The Third
Jason Crumer likes what you like: noise, girls, getting wasted once in while and maybe a spot of trouble here and there. He first started blowing minds as guitarist in the insane sludge punk core outfits Aluminum Noise and Facedowninshit. As well as the ultra-weirdo outfits American Band, Now In Darkness World Stops Turning and Amazing Grace. Since going solo in 2005 he's released fascinating and brainmelting USA noise death on labels like Iatrogenesis, Audiobot, Ignivomous, RRR, Nazot, Chondrit…
Commiseration/Blood Temperature Pool
Primitive guitar riffin', synth's drone and effects. Raw beauty and energy in it's primal.
Die Arbeiter von Wien
'The third part in Jupitter-Larsen's series of old trade union / battle songs follows Internationale (Banned Production 2010) and Solidarity CD (Banned Production 2010). Written by the Viennese lyricist and essayist Fritz Brügel, presumably in the late 1920s, this piece deals with the events during the so-called July Revolt in the capital of Austria on July 15, 1927, caused by a court verdict which acquitted three members of the right-wing Frontkmpfervereinigung Deutsch-Österreichs (the sa…
Gene-P
'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.On the first track (both tracks are untitled) Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its music with not many changes, music that is not loud and actually quite pleasing.The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl, scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping all over the place. Its a bit much experiment for the sake of experiment for me here. A mo…
Sacred Trails
Terrific new release by the cult 'a dear girl called Wendy' italian label: this recordings are a natural progression from the recent "Förruttnelsen" LP on Release The Bats. Like before filthy and decaying reel-to-reel/cassette/tape-echo loops, electronics, junk, field recordings, feedback blasts is mixed with industrial decay and creepy dynamic noise. Minimalistic textures raped by tapeloops, field recordings and junk abuse. Just raw electronics. Organic machine music. No happiness there. 7"…
Fortune
An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between “sound”, drums spliced and severed, 18-piece “noise” orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On “Fortune,” Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six…
Gert-Jan Prins
A new EP featuring unreleased recordings from this Dutch electronic master. For over twenty years Prins has explored the spatial, textural and compositional possibilities of electronic systems with his custom circutry; both through sound and his arts practice. Reconsidering the technologies of club culture he has defined his own very radical approach to music; having also collaborated with the likes of Christian Fennesz, Lee Ranaldo, Carlos Giffoni as well as being an integral member of MIMEO.Th…
To Noisetherion
Obscure artist from Italy, harsh noise with not so dynamic structures, junk abuse, no space for field recordings or concrete parts. A brutal assault, perfect mix between early Bastard Noise era and 90s Japanese scene.
Organic Skyscrapers & Occult Wastelands
'I really don't know what to say... I have just released a 10' by my favorite band! Released to coincide with the first Sigillum S concert in the US, which we hosted in Chicago on June 7th, 'Organic Skyscrapers & Occult Wastelands' features three brand-new tracks. With unusual electronics, processed and treated guitars, piano, etc., and a host of other elements, rhythms and loops, it takes the listener on a bizarre and beautiful journey.The music and imagery of Sigillum S has intrigued and capti…
qanngirpalippuq
Limited to 130 copies. Harsh Noise old school from Paris, 100% improv.
CD Box 1970-1973
Massive 7xCD box set compiling rare material by the great alto screamer Kaoru Abe is the lost wild legend of '70s Japanese free jazz. In the short space of his tempestuous life, he burnt a path which has served as a map for a whole generation of Japanese artists to follow who would call themselves 'free' in any sense of the word whatsoever. Though he performed live frequently in his day, his releases were sporadic, many of them emerging after his untimely death in 1978, and on a string of Japane…
Valediction
The First all new Ramleh album since 1997, and the first new power electronics recordings from the project for 25 years. And yet Valediction is no ordinary “power electronics” record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. Valediction is very much an entity of its own – both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. Valediction is, perhaps, Ramleh’s most bleakly psych…
Distant
Newest Nico Vascellari trio (WW stands for Women in the Woods), an amazing hypnotic industrial soundscapes housed in a beautifully packaged tape box, released in a handful of copies
Het Potatis
This meeting of noise monsters Lasse Marhaug and Tommi Keränen is heavy, intense, truly ear-shattering noise bliss, and brutal as always. Pure harsh noise
