Noise & Industrial / Crackling

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.

Primitive Isolation Tactics is the foremost example of how the current generation of Canadian noise builds on the foundation forged by some of the country's textural masters while expanding into new and ever more dynamic territory. There is plenty of monolithic crunching to sink your teeth into on "All Pressures Past," but the sounds skitter, jump, and implode into a satisfyingly damaged wreckage of burned wires and fried voltage. Primitive Isolation Tactics wields both patience and restlessness…

"Back in 2009 I had a small exhibition and a collaboration show with Yasutoshi Yoshida (one of my favorite noise artists ever, by the way) at Flying Teapot in Tokyo. I was also supposed to go to his place and record something but I got drunk and lost like an asshole. 13 years later our collaboration mayhem is out." Mastered by Ivan Fu for extra damage. Manuel's (Narcolepsia) words: "Yasutoshi Yoshida and Nicola Vinciguerra have both carved their own corner in underground, being consistent throug…

In the summer of 2023 Shredded Nerve and Form Hunter embarked on an east coast tour that culminated at the Initial Shock festival in Montreal. This CD is a reissue of a limited edition tour cassette available at those shows, and also features a brand new track from each artist, totaling 4 tracks and more than 40 minutes of music. Psych-noise incantations colliding with metal junks avalanches that rip the forest to shreds. Smashing cassette players into oblivion with a baseball bat to the cheers …

Industrial/noise visionary Uncodified returns with a powerful new offering—"Impurity"—out now and set to captivate fans of experimental electronic music worldwide. "Impurity" continues Uncodified’s celebrated exploration of harsh soundscapes, merging dense industrial textures with haunting atmospherics and eerie melodic fragments. Across its tracks, the album delves deeply into themes of contrast—purity and corruption, order and entropy—inviting listeners into a sonic journey as unsettling as it…

Roman Torment were the combined efforts of Evan Pacewicz (Moth Drakula/Swampland) & Jeff Witscher (Impregnable/Callow God) at the height of the short lived but very important LA harsh noise scene of the early 00's. Together they wove a blanket of brutal crumbling razor-honed electronics. Inspired less by contemporaries or legendary acts and more by film, literature, photography, poetry and what Swampland Press refers to now as "romantic nihilism" the duo was able to carve a permanent scar into t…

*30 copies limited edition* Second transmission from the heart of the wood - Rural Noise aka Janza Slope aka Mark Lyken returns with a follow up to his first Cloudchamber tape "There Is No Talk In My Mouth". Where the first tape was focusing on the wavelength, the second one comes as a study in kinetic form, with 9 pieces presented in a set duration. Surrounded by nature and its pulse, the artist attunes his pedal feedback chain in parallel.

Residual is back on Satatuhatta with a heavy-hitting full length CD titled Mythology of Brain & Body. As the artist perfectly describes: Residual is a waking dream built of steel and electricity, a million synapses firing at the same time.

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…

"Sexregler" is Treriksröset's debut full length, proudly released on cassette by Hatband in 2002, and poignantly reissued on CD by Troniks/Chondritic Sound in 2007. Now lovingly revisited by WCN in packaging based off of the original Ltd. 22 Hatband version, with transparent covered 24 page booklet, extensive liner notes from P.H.C.E, and a full Treriksröset discography list. All instrument as my cock.

A new chapter in The Rita's singular trajectory - an artist who, despite his widespread appreciation, continues to be alone on the forefront of radical and challenging exploration of harsh sound. "The Alceste" is a return to a more layered technique, but still continuing to pursue the minimal, almost percussive sparse crackle of the recent “King Richard III” process recordings - but now in rapid-fire clusters, conjuring McKinlay's muse the 2-Stroke Engine more vividly than ever. Source recording…

Unreleased material from the one and only Emil Beaulieau, rediscovered after more than 30 years in storage.

Barbarian Red Terror PE from the old cold world. Their most powerful statement to date, after two already impressive efforts on Styggelse and NBM. In the works for ages, recorded two times and submitted in its most powerful final version just before the pandemic broke loose... The perfect soundtrack for these final years of so called capitalist ''civilization'' in humanity's fading glow. Just excellent. Comes with an accompanying 24 page zine featuring visuals and manifesto from the band.  So ex…

*199 copies limited edition* Guns & Harsh Noise Walls!

Packaged in a tall format 6-panel digipack to honor the classic BloodLust! layout, this reissue features extensive liner notes by Sam McKinlay and Mark Solotroff. "The resulting sound is like a chaptered journey through DBL’s influential brand of harsh noise, creating a mountain of HN information that maintains the blo…

*2023 stock* New Forces presents the latest full-length CD from Kjostad, Music For Organic Performance. These six new recordings emerged from solitary performances conducted on-location in northern Minnesota. An attempt to rethink the collection of "source sounds" and invite the listener into moments that would be otherwise inaccessible. Electronics and other machines were introduced later in the process, a form of synthesis that added additional depth and contradiction to the original recording…

*200 copies limited edition* Forgot to put on the helmet for the drainpipe slide? Breathe in deep as the smoke, chunks of shrapnel and microplastics fly high while the celestial dremel drills through the gorilla skull of the great offender. Rugburn on the listener's skin are just some of the side effects of this full spectrum junk elektronix noizu catastrophe.

Tip! Originally released in 1996 as a single-sided tape on Gabriele's Less Than Zero label, and featuring sound sources from Jonathan Canady on one track, the album now comes with a bonus track 'Torture King' sourced from the original master tape, that was previously released in edited form on the 'Retrocuts' compilation.

Tip! American carnage of the highest order from two of the best.

An hallucinating journey into sickness conceived by our ally from down under, T.G. Cranium. Half an hour of everflowing morbid visions and bestial devastations, manic highs and heavy lows. Beaten into submission by Erik Nystrand & mastered by Danny Costa. Ecstastic lobotomy noise.

LA noise by Becca Lilia [ÆMNIO] and Jesse Sanes [Liebestod, Hoax, Kommand] recorded during the 10th day of quarantine.

Tip! "There’s something out there, past the alleyway in the auto salvage yard. It’s hard to hear at first. It’s hidden behind the sound of a train derailing. Sliding. Sparks flying. Colliding into a boarded up burnt out building. It’s a filthy possum screeching from inside a burning dumpster. It’s a floating, bloated apparition of a face screaming into a metal drum. It’s an AM radio playing while you’re taking your tenth hit of nitrous. It’s all you regret. It’s the bruised arm from a blackout s…

New collaboration with Rémi after the Hattifnattar cs, this time for his main project Violent Shogun. Another brilliant document of a masterful talent just getting better and better with each release. Minimal and with a rough edge.

Tip! Introducing the 11th volume in the No-Input Mixing Board' series from Toshimaru Nakamura. Utilising a unique instrument and free improvisation approach, Toshimaru masterly controls waves of feedback to create structured layers of crackling pulses, drones and bass patterns. Featuring four live sets recorded in 2021 and 2022, and demonstrating a harsher side to more recent output, he continues to successfully explore and discover new avenues from his equipment. 'As most of you will know, it w…

Tip! A Phil Blankenship/John Wiese maelstrom at maximum pressure. The duo behind LHD continue their five-year White Gold cycle, unleashing a blistering new cascade of deafening sound, desiccated crumble, and rusted shriek recorded in 2022, featuring over forty minutes of heavy electronics for shredded speakers.

Tyhjä Pää is noise artist from Northern Finland and is known for fierce live shows, handful of tapes and split releases from recent years, also being a long time organizer in noise underground. ”Prolonged Troubles In Concentration And Memory” is the first full lenght album by Tyhjä Pää and it sets the standards of what Finnish noise is in 2023. Album is masterfully crafted, razor sharp and detailed cut-up junk noise, like a constant barrage of flying sharpnels, built up with a vision that reveal…

*Chrome tape ltd to 120 tapes* Zalhietzli and Dressing team up for this exciting split release on Satatuhatta. Both projects work in the realm of tape noise and while Dressing's approach is more hands on tape manipulations on the recorded sounds and surroundings, it sounds that Zalhietzli operates on circuit level, fusing the sound source and breaking the sonics with constant electronic shocks. They both have mastered their approach for textural broken sound and compliment each other perfectly o…

Tip! A two CD reissue of the cassette box originally released on Second Sleep in 2012. Drug Age is the duo of Matteo Castro (Lettera 22, Primorje, Mercury Hall) and Francesco Tignola (Elisha Morningstar), who deliver an unrelenting and ferocious barrage of searing contact mic and frenetic metal abuse, heavy crackle and and overdriven bass. This is a searing hot album from some of Italy's contemporary noise masters and is not to be missed. Please note these CDs are not sealed, but they are brand …

West Coast Power Outage V CD - The power trio of Chris Dodge, Mason Jones and William Rage return to Absurd Exposition with another dose of psychedelic circuit overload.

*In process of stocking* While “no description necessary” is the most fitting description for anything with the name Kakerlak on it, I am sensitive to the fact that there may be a new generation of harsh noise enthusiast emerging who have not been properly exposed, due to his relative elusiveness in recent years. Kakerlak is one of the elite HN projects active since the mid 2000s, and a defining artist of the genre. His sound wields the most powerful elements of mid 90’s Americanoise as broad br…

Tip! *In process of stocking* Wyatt Howland is not only a force of noise, he is an institution. For nearly two decades, he has been producing some of the most potent and ugly industrial harsh noise around as Skin Graft, both on tape and live in the flesh. He has also inspired scores of noise soldiers through his fully committed and unpretentious attitude, never seeking limelight or chasing clout, but having earned his crown by putting in the work and keeping it real. “Final Judgment,” originally…

*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Brand new split LP by two titans of the harsh noise scene.
