CAB, Portuguese Funeral, Mijo Preto, Hypomania

Rasga is proud to unleash 4 Ways To Maul Your Face, a limited cassette compilation that gathers four of Portugal’s most uncompromising noise and experimental acts: CAB, Portuguese Funeral, Mijo Preto, and Hypomania. This tape is a visceral journey through dissociative frequencies, absurd conceptualism, and punishing sonic violence, capturing the raw energy of the Portuguese underground in 2025. 

4 Ways To Maul Your Face is structured as a double-sided ritual of noise, each side curated to build its own oppressive atmosphere. On Side A, CAB returns with “Gas Station Culture Pt. 2”, an extended, hypnotic harsh noise piece that continues the narrative from their recent split with Portuguese Funeral; its droning, cosmic textures recall the dissociative frequencies of Japanese noise legends like C.C.C.C.. 

Portuguese Funeral follows with the five‑part suite “ABC da Beleza”, a dadaistic, genre‑collapsing assault that shifts from fucked‑up hip hop and excruciating power electronics to haunted folk and fleeting punk riffs, all wrapped in a darkly satirical meditation on beauty, narcissism, and cosmetic obsession.

Side B plunges deeper into ritualistic noise: Mijo Preto (a side project of a member of Porto noise rock act Trasgo) contributes a long, hypnotic ethno‑harsh noise piece that “twinkles with your brainwaves”, blending tribal textures with abrasive noise. The tape closes with Hypomania’s “Impulso para Destruir”, an excruciating, sadistic burst of torturing frequencies that leaves the listener battered and exposed.
