Hack Conduit
Lo-fi wall noise muck from the mind of Canadian artist Barrett E. Lediard (Toanche Dwelling, Rotmans, Vast Field Magnetism, etc). Hack Conduit is the epitome of terms like "muddy" and "blown out", recorded straight to tape and sent directly to AAD headquarters on said tape in order to capture both tracks in all their filthy hiss-ridden authentic glory.3" disc with printed label & 3 panel cover art housed in polycase.

Composed and performed by N. with feedback, space echo, analog filter…
Carefully Upon This Hour
AAD proudly presents "Carefully Upon This Hour", the follow up to muttering's 2022 cassette "Iron Angel, Please Keep Quiet". Subdued amp buzz and clattering acoustic objects echo in the distance of what sounds like a large decrepit room, gradually building up into a roaring thunderous mess of twisted scrap metal and feedback that abruptly submits to quieter reverberations...only to be disrupted with one last blast of abrasive rumbling junk noise.
Animal Motherfucker
At last, the debut full length CD by New Grasping Machina! This project has made quite a name for itself in recent years and should be familiar to most noise heads at this point, due to being so tirelessly active both live and recording wise. Luk Henderiks is an actual singer-songwriter in various actual bands playing actual music...however, the enthusiasm and consistent focus Luk puts into NGM makes it obvious this is also a big priority, as well as operations of their DIY-style CDr imprint Mec…
Spirit World
Prolepsis has been one of contemporary Harsh Noise's best kept secrets for the past couple of years, although i've done my best to put people on to the project, which is not easy considering their minimal online presence and short list of physical only self-released titles (that honestly tend to outshine a vast majority of hyped releases by more well known artists).
Until now this Michigan-based project has only been featured on AAD's "Life is Fucking Stupendous!" compilation, but the brief soni…
Sacred Heart of Reinvention
Wow, this is unreal -- the first full length album by Slacking on AAD? What a privilege to do this landmark release, which will surely be looked back on years from now as a crowning achievement for the label, in the same way that Creation Records must feel about being the one to have put out "Loveless". From the first time i heard this project i was stoked in a way i hadn't been since first discovering Harsh Noise. It was immediately apparent that i was to be in total support of this project as …
Ferocity of the Unconscious
Limited to 50 copies. Based in the US since 2002, Andrea Pensado uses voice and electronics to create her highly idiosyncratic brand of experimental music. A harsh, cut-up sound profile, mixed with the strong emotional component of her music, generates a deeply personal sonic language which inevitably gives rise to intense responses in the most diverse audiences. Pensado exhibits staggering control in her work, utilizing Max MSP to map synthesis parameters into performance gestures. Her music co…
Perverted Architect
Stripped-back harsh noise / death industrial from Finland’s underground. Lo-fi production recalls best of 90s noise, fans of Slaughter Productions take note…
Requiem
On Requiem, Vancouver-based composer and musician Anju Singh combines funerary violin and harsh noise, as illustrated in an excerpt from liner notes by Gordon Ashworth (Oscillating Innards, Knelt Rote): "Requiem is an album of the violin engaged in a multi-dimensional way. Merging forms of music and anti-music; burning a violin as a means of achieving the instrument's ultimate dramatic and sonic potential, and guiding the ritual object into a symbolic death."
Singh is recognized in the noise w…
Dead Harbor
This is a cassette released by American noise artist Dead Door Unit from the country's experimental/noise label Tribe Tapes in April 2024. Contains two 2-minute Lo-Fi junk harsh noise songs using field recordings and tapes.
A sound lover's feast. The reincarnation of the individual sounds would be enough but the scalpel is applied in broader strokes.
Abandon
Philadelphia-based K. Geiger is active under the guises of Dead Door Unit, Master Grave Services, and his imprint French Market Press producing ultra-limited noise tapes (often 7 copies or less) in unusual packaging that echoes labels like Sound Probe or SFCR. "Abandon" brings with it a refinement in style differentiating itself from early cassettes like "Laugh At The Devil". While I once described that release as reminiscent of an embryonic Prurient, this debut disc is both an evolution and a p…
Laugh At The Devil
Tip! *2024 reprint* Dead Door Unit is the alias of Northeastern US artist Ken Geiger. The project follows in an exploratory vein of tape-recorded junk noise and field recordings. "Laugh At The Devil" is a work raucously out-of-time, bringing to mind the murk of mid-aughts Hanson releases or even the obscure malice of Dom Fernow's earlier work. Geiger breeds a fresh perspective through destruction and reassembly; "desperation."
Ouroboros
2024 stock. Ouroboros is an ancient symbol dating back more than 4000 years. A snake or dragon eats its own tail, and represents eternity, or the circularity of life. A more modern interpretation might suggest that mankind will eventually consume itself once it finishes consuming all the life and resources on Earth. Snake species are in decline just about everywhere. Agriculture, pesticide use, roads that separate breeding populations, habitat loss, decreased food supply and predation by other a…
Merzbient
From deep within the Soleilmoon warehouse, and just in time for its 10 year anniversary, come the leftover/extra copies of the LPs from the “Merzbient” LP box sets, originally released in 2012.
Noise Matrix
Tip! Noise Matrix unleashes material from the same sessions as noisembryo and counterpart 'hole' and selected recordings from the time period. Originally released as a bonus disc on the definitive ’Noisembryo' 2xcd edition noise matrix absolutely can’t be missed for fans of this period of noise deity Merzbow. When people ask where to start with merzbow or the entire 90’s noise movement in japan - this is an answer! Masami Akita’s surrealism of the past stands prominently relevant to this day co…
Satanic Hair Dye
"Back in the middle ages when people commuted to work something sinister and something primary colored was brewing. Satanic hair dye. True crime cosmopolitans were conjured through various doorways to hell. One of those is the entire city of present day los angeles where the germs and rodney collect coupons and groupies. A place where the bright lights are seriously luciferian and the dreams are the dreams of fallen angels. Acid children party freely in the underpasses and cement iron courtyards…
Trick
Hospital Productions is proud to announce ‘Trick’ on 2xLP format. “Trick’ is deeply important to the Hospital history as it was the first time working with the icon Richard Ramirez in 1999. 5 tracks spread across each disc ‘Only If You Want To Fuck’ and ‘Voyage Of Tempted Flesh’. ‘Trick’ shows Ramirez at his most focused, linear, and darkest noise that only he can do. Listeners will be torn between minimalist brittle static and eerie envelope-filter delayed electronics creating a chasm of gravel…
Impermanence Of Being
Anti-manufacturing subconscious that has been embedded into the psyche since american dropped the one and only deto-day device. What is the point of making anything built to last? One of the heaviest industrial cassettes by James Light to emerge in recent years and a highlight of cassette culture on the Hospital imprint. Multiple inserts in poly bag.
Default Standard
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of Japan's experimental music scene in the late '80s, Incapacitants had beginnings as Toshiji Mikawa's solo project in 1981. The original epicenter of their creative endeavors was Osaka, where Mikawa collaborated with luminaries such as Yamatsuka Eye, JOJO and others. However, the trajectory of Incapacitants evolved with a move to Tokyo, where Fumio Kosakai joined forces with Mikawa, solidifying the current duo that continues t…
