Paulownia
Paulownia by Merzbow is a 2025 full-length statement comprising two lengthy compositions that fuse intense electronic manipulation with Merzbow’s enduring fascination for natural phenomena. Across both pieces, the album merges organic inspiration and harsh digital process, producing a hypnotic yet confrontational experience.
1984 Cart PPG Detroit News Grand Prix 200
1984 Cart PPG Detroit News Grand Prix 200 by Spallmaker delivers a concentrated burst of harsh noise, inspired by the mechanized wreckage and traumatic undertones surrounding a legendary motorsport event. Each piece harnesses violence and speed, making the album not just a sonic outburst but a meditation on risk and survival.
Self-titled / Vasovagal Syncope
Self-titled / Vasovagal Syncope by Wince is a dual release reissued to celebrate the project’s fifteenth anniversary. The CD brings together bruising harsh noise, interwoven with relentless hiss and explosive feedback, forming a document of both the genre’s ferocity and its staying power.
Satan’s Imperials
Satan’s Imperials by Pain Appendix & Tantric Death compiles five live-collaboration tracks into a burnt offering of noise extremity. The sound is wrenched from malfunction, with synths, feedback, and howl colliding under the “malevolent gaze of a punctured inflatable Satan.” Here, fun and brutality are inseparable; each track a riot of writhing electronics, live-wire tension, and mischief.
Absolute Earthbound Spirits
Absolute Earthbound Spirits by Death Kneel is a collection of five cassettes originally released on Life of Sensation between 2023 and 2024. Now presented as a unified CD album, it traverses harsh noise domains with a granular attention to texture, rhythm, and atmospheric collapse. Sculpted from aggression and nuanced sonic distortion, the album embodies a vital cross-section of contemporary noise music.

Shredded Nerve / Form Hunter
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 …
Bending Your Sauna
In 2022 New Forces received a pair of discs in the mail from Nick Forté (Rorschach, Raspberry Bulbs, Half Mortal) that contained the initial creative burst from his new project Green Tea. The albums were astonishingly well crafted and could hardly be considered "demos"; indeed, they felt like masterworks that emerged out of thin air, blending psychedelic harsh noise with ambient and new age music in a way that felt incredibly fresh and exciting. As the artist describes it, "I knew I was working …
Music For Organic Performance
New Forces presents Kjostad's 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 recordings. Listeners will feel the edges of glaciat…
All Pressures Past
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…
Wilderness & Industry
Perfected Grave Vault is the high octane noise duo of Charlie Mumma and Aaron Aspinwall. Following on the heels of their highly regarded 2023 CD Mutative Forecast (Oxen), this latest offering is a constantly shifting, fast paced flamethrower of a recording. Evoking the Americanoise crunch of classic acts like Skin Crime or Macronympha, "Wilderness and Industry" manages to to achieve a monolithic heaviness without bogging down in static minimalism. This is a quick moving recording that seizes you…

Red Magnesia Pink
First released by Extreme in the massive, infamous 'Merzbox,' "Red Magnesia Pink" is extracted and recontextualized as a standalone release for the first time. Recorded in 1995, "Red Magnesia Pink" sees Merzbow in peak form. A psychedelic whirlwind of synthetic transmissions; harsh, wet, screeching sounds that could only be produced by Masami Akita. Featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the same era.
Mausoleum
Master Grave Services proudly announces the release of its debut album, "Mausoleum," a sonic collaboration between acclaimed experimental artists J.D. Evans (Confounder) and K. Geiger (Dead Door Unit). This highly anticipated CD offers a unique blend of avant-garde soundscapes, enriched by special guest appearances from noise legends John Olson and Joe Roemer.

Clang Quartet / Crank Sturgeon
*100 copies limited edition* Noise. Ritual. Performance. Transformation. Two of experimental music’s most uncompromising voices — Clang Quartet and Crank Sturgeon — collide in a brand-new split release that drags listeners deep into the unpredictable wilderness of sound.
For decades, both Clang Quartet (North Carolina’s Scotty Irving) and Crank Sturgeon (the ever-morphing project of Matt Anderson) have built reputations for visceral, unhinged, and deeply theatrical approaches to noise. Now, on…
Infinity Quartet
*300 copies limited edition* The debut album from a new Gothenburg group featuring Erik Nystrand (Capers), Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Per Palmqvist (Slow Exit) and David Valleryd (Schakalens Bror). A blistering free noise tornado recorded at Longest Night in Kortedala during October 2024. Electronics, guitars, drums. Blown-out and at times almost psychedelic grittiness in the spirit of Hijokaidan, Borbetomagus, Ascension and the likes, though channeled through the neverending well of unmana…
Apuvälinekeskus
From the shadowy void of Finland’s most uncompromising noise underground emerges Ieskadulla with their latest work, Apuvälinekeskus — a jagged, unflinching transmission of pure sonic abrasion. Released via Satatuhatta, a label renowned for its dedication to the most extreme fringes of sound art, this album stands as a raw testament to the power of noise as both confrontation and catharsis.
Apuvälinekeskus slices through the listener’s perception with dense layers of feedback, scorched electronic…
Parallel Disalignment
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* "Since Fallen Sun’s debut CD, 'Beyond the Flat Earth', which appeared on Fourth Dimension Records in 2024, there have been rare live appearances and collaborative releases by this solo project of Malaysian electronic artist, Y’ng-Yin Siew. She has also released a few albums under the name, Reverse Image, which is a comparatively sedate project given to more atmospheric sounds yet no less metamorphic or unsettled because of that. Fallen Sun, as the name itself al…
