Noise /
Richter
Ecstatic harsh noise from an artist determined to reach further and touch deeper. Broad and deliberate strokes of full frequency sound with particular attention to tonal relationship and compositional structure make up an album that runs the gamut from triumphant to meditative.

An all out electrical storm of neurotoxic electronics! Split between the wizard Gods of Japanese harsh noise and the more recently formed Finnish harsh-psych duo of Ilkka Vekka (HAARE) and Janne Laurila.
Borderless Field
Split collaboration between Bali and Singapore based artists.
1 & 2

Watcher Of The Skies
Imagine yourself in a distant cabin, surrounded by cold wilderness. Power lines are splitting the landscapes like electronic highways, loudly buzzing and crackling in the air. Soon blizzard is roaming outside, freezing winds hammering the window shields and clattering the loose roofing. Cold trying to push it's way through narrow openings of the wall into the warmth of the cabin. Snow storm is blocking the view from the window, starting to slowly resemble static noise from the analogue TV. Kettl…

Sheer
*120 copies limited edition on chrome tapes* Corral Shut is back on Satatuhatta with new tape and three tracks of uncompromised harshness. Scrap metal elements are still there but focus is more on textural side, breaking the signal and driving it to the max, while sheets of metal are squealing in the background.
Dreag
*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…
Pulse Demon
*Holographic Cover* Pulse Demon probably is the most iconic, most representative and best known album in the japanoise scene and Merzbow discography.

Kyomu-No-Ne
*249 copies limited edition. 2023 stock* These 2 heavyweights and veterans of the harsh noise genre come together once again to deliver 3 tracks of junk noise nihilism. Titled “Kyomu-No-Ne” in Japanese, it loosely translates to the philosophical phrase “The Sound of Nihilism”.The complex mosaic of harsh frequencies stack and pile on each other relentlessly, detailing the richness of sound through crazed electronics and effects device manipulation. Organic sound elements get deconstructed and reg…

Tokyo Anal Dynamite Singles
Gerogerigegege's full-volume collection CD, including many unreleased and precious past sound sources, different mixes and uncensored versions taken from their infamous "Tokyo Anal Dynamite". To quote All Music Guide brilliant review "Either 40 minutes of absolutely unlistenable noise, or the greatest rock & roll record recorded -- or both.

The Heat Of The Hole / Temporary & Successive Stages
*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…
Final Judgment
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…
Sacred Violence Noise
*In process of stocking* Active in the top tier of the noise underground for over 15 years since his teens under numerous aliases, Vill Van Gorder changed the landscape of modern American harsh noise in 2017 by summoning the avatar Worth and releasing the "Blinder" LP - a pure harsh noise record with a singular sound and aesthetic that re-introduced Van Gorder to the then floundering scene as an artist who creates works of totality, challenging established tropes of what entities like ritual, ev…
