Sunken Dimension
Cyess Afxzs and Scathing both represent the newer wave of harsh noise, with prolific output in recent years, coming up with top notch releases one after another, and in a way I feel it was only a matter of time for this fruitful collaboration to happen. These artists have a musical ear for harsh noise. We've been hearing it in their works with compositional, cinematic qualities. Perhaps because they live on different continents, the idea of them working actually together had not occurred to me b…
OAF
Paul van Trigt's project Idler delivers 20 minutes of fantastic micro-cassette abuse. Broken and primitive desolation, death rattle of failing telephone lines, the revolution of man-eating robot printers. Apocalyptic sound of dystopian electronics. 3" pro CD in mini digipak.
Children Of The Wisteria
Green Tea is noise project by Nick Forté (Half Mortal, Rorschach) with an extremely evocative, even psychedelic approach. 'Children of the Wisteria', the second full-length album following the project's brilliant debut on New Forces, brings forth wonderful and tasty harsh noise, floating on the currents of an exotic ocean of tranquillizing new age sounds. A deep listening and whole body experience for noise lovers.
Peace
Violent Shogun returns to Satatuhatta with a new CD called 'Peace.' This timely named album once again showcases what Remi does best. It combines atmospheric synth sounds and textured tape loops with harsher, organic bangs and scrapes to tell a story. No gimmicks, just true artistic vision using the tools of sound.
Universal Noise
Tip! On their fifth album, The New Boyfriends explore the universal phenomenon of sound. Everything started with a big bang, which still echoes and vibrates through eternity, creating the most crucial thing in existence called Noise. 'Universal Noise' guides the listener through the electro-acoustic ages of this planet called Earth. It was recorded in various locations, from rural countryside to the deepest forests and freshest streams. This sonic journey varies from huge macrocosmic rumbles to …
Love Is An Excessive Thing
*100 copies limited edition* "Love is an excessive thing. Love is a sword which cuts both ways, in degrees that can’t be fully understood in the moment. nd is a project that celebrates, embodies, and wishes to spread light on the full extremity of love. This means understanding that sometimes what feels like love can hurt, can harm. We made this recording on a day that embodies that duality for us, Mother’s Day – in 2022, a year that stretched our limits and definitions of love.
Love is an exces…
West Coast Power Outage VII
Tip! "What’s the Deal? The Dodge Jones Rage power trio was started in late 2021 as a distributed pandemic-driven experimental-noise-audio collaboration by three long-time grizzled sonic veterans. After sharing some initial recordings with each other, suddenly things started moving quickly, and it was clear that this was destined to be, as they say, A Thing.
Thus far there have been releases from Absurd Exposition, Charnel Music, Phage Tapes, Pressortape, and !Mondo Anthem!. All releases are and …
Vocal Studies #24
*50 coipes limited edition* Econore presents Vocal Studies #24 by Killer.
Sin Comentarios
*150 copies limited edition* This fateful meeting with a tree makes this collaborative album with Anla Courtis take one a more serious aspect that first intended, as it was the last project Perrot completed before his untimely meeting with the tree in the Forêt de Fontainebleau forest, the master completed just two days before the accident. Courtis was of course shocked by his collaborator’s sudden death, the two had never met in person, but he wanted this LP to be a fitting tribute to his late …
No Longer Penitent
"No Longer Penitent" is the new full-length from Commuter, a project from Portland's Jackson Abdul-Salaam (Herukrat, Junta Cadre) that blends harsh noise and urban field recordings. Building on the highly regarded 2021 album "Inner SE Industrial" released on Phage Tapes, this new effort pushes Commuter's sound and atmosphere even further. A fantastic noise album. Says the artist: "No Longer Penitent acts as a direct follow-up album to "Inner SE Industrial", the previous full-length on Phage. Whe…
White Mountain Face
*300 copies limited edition* Second album on OEC by the Japanese master. Grim is the solo project by Jun Konagaya, active in the Japanese & international Industrial scene since the early 80es. Grim is a very versatile and chameleonic project that can change style and sounds very suddenly, from Industrial to Japanoise, from ambient to P/E... With GRIM there always are big surprises and new discoveries. And also with this new album sound and art-work are completely unexpected. "White Mountain Face…
Tokyo Hallucination

A Psychadelic journey through Tokyo between ecstasy & hallucination... Best Experimental-Industrial by the Japanese master. Sounds are rumbling and beating with far rhythms, sampled voices of city ghosts & spirits. Cut-ups by deformed animals, blinking lights, fast moving geisha’s, blood and drugs…Like a Japanese Bu…
Sin Memoria
*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.
Tightrope Walker
Tip! *315 copies limited edition* Barstool Mountain returns to Absurd Exposition after the well-regarded "III" CD from 2022. On "Tightrope Walker", the project's debut LP, Mattias Gustafsson continues his "harried, frazzled, grizzled" experiments in tape mangling with his Altar of Flies alter-ego. The album furthers the buildings-crumbling barrage of "III", leaving just enough room to realize that the walls are coming down hard.
Hand / Fist
Noise Against Fascism flexes their tendons, clenches their fist and pulls back from the brink to deliver a blistering cacophony of harsh electronics for a new release on Brachliegen. Hand/Fist is aural struggle against a feeling of contemporary socio-political melancholia, manifest in two differing approaches to confrontational noise and bludgeoning tone. In the wake of a relentless decimation of social communality, Mathias Kristersson cites the importance of art and utopian ideals for both the …
