Vinyl

Kazumoto Endo / Encephalophonic ‎– Quattro Pulsanti Bomba / 終身性的虐待 7" (Audio Dissection) 35Lt/10e
Audio Dissection is very proud to announce this split 7” vinyl between Japanese Harsh Noise master Kazumoto Endo and sadistic project from Italy Encephalophonic. Endo-San doesn’t really need any introduction…”Quattro Pulsanti Bomba” is a solid piece of unrelating harshness carefully decomposed in his best tradition, that truly shines in skill and complexity. Encephalophonic delivers a fast paced track with intense dynamics and blown-speakers violent sound.

Shift ‎– Hatet / Misären 7" (Untergeschoss/Filth and Violence) 30Lt/8e
"This is part one of my tribute to Malmö, the shithole I come from." Thus spoke Shift and discharged his most traditional Power Electronics release this far. Hateful, harsh and honest burst of violence, yet with recognizable Shift heaviness and skilled layering of black flood of noise.

CD

Bizarre Uproar ‎– Mass / FF CD (Filth and Violence / Industrial Recollections) 40Lt/12e
Mass CDr from 2001 was such a harsh noise bliss Freak Animal decided to re-issue it as 10" vinyl back in 2005. Now several years later. this material still stands pretty much unique in discography of Bizarre Uproar. All his trademarks elements of early days as well as material after 2005 is absent here. Instead you have highly textured. utterly heavy harsh noise wall! This CD re-issue include full uncut original recording (10" had few minutes missing) and as addition. extremely rare "FF" tape from 1999 what is nearly forgotten. It is hardly ever mentioned in any discograpy listings and artists himself had lost his copies. Luckily one copy remained in Industrial Recollections archives. This tape in blood drenched covers. possibly made less than 20 copies represents perfect companion to "Mass". offering incredibly textured brutal harsh noise assault. In total over 50 minutes of playingtime stands as essential addition to anyone's Bizarre Uproar collection due it's unique approach. CD format by Filth & Violence and Industrial Recollections.

Bizarre Uproar ‎– Unsafe And Insane CD (Filth and Violence / Industrial Recollections) 40Lt/12e
If one should mark few milestones in Finnish noise. this is one of them. Bizarre Uproars return into activity after few years of small activity resulted flood of releases what could be said culminated in debute full length LP issued by Dogma Chase (japan). Level of filth & violence has been target of vast amout of imitators and admired by loyal followers. Sweat. tears. piss. shit. chains whipping rusty metal objects. strangulation. scat smeared faces and black boots stomping life out of scum. Unsafe And Insane is finally released in CD format

Budrūs ‎– Canine Visions IX CD (Freak Animal Records) 40Lt/12e
I'm almost out of words when I need to describe what Budrus really is. I'm certain no "sample track" will help you grasp the excellency of this album. Releasing this masterpiece has been delayed beyond reasonable time. but as it managed to evade categorization and trends. it is so timeless that year here or there won't hurt. Budrus is duo consisting members of Girnų Giesmės and Pogrom. Knowing little by these two projects may help one to be aware of possibilities. but Budrus manages to go beyond being mere "collaboration" and contain project of its own identity. Wonderful instrument drones. melancholy slow melodies and diversity of compositions and textures and combined with power of ultra masculine vocal performance of Leonardas Marozas. Artwork and lyrics combined with strange combinations of atmosphere. melancholy. aggressive force and tasty effects is beyond anything I hear anyone else doing. Downtempo. ambient/drone with the forcefullness of power electronics without having almost any musical similarities to mentioned genres. Don't expect easy genre music. give it a try and be rewarded!

Encephalophonic ‎– Regressed Progress CD (Audio Dissection) 40Lt/12e
"Encephalophonic has been lurking in shadows of international noise for some years and now presents its debut CD album. Step by step improving and challenging himself to rise to new heights, album culminates years of work.
Taking influence from masters of dynamic Japanese pedal noise and harshest American units, but creating timeless and trend free harsh noise.  It's at the same time super distorted and noisy as it is high fidelity and crispy. Echoes of 90's Merzbow, Pain Jerk, Kazumoto Endo, Sickness, Skin Crime, etc., but with additional dark and sinister quality." (Mikko A. - Feb. 2013)
9 tracks for 40+ minutes of audio damage. Comes in a jewel case with booklet. Limited edition of 300 copies.

Heinz Hopf ‎– Gothenburg CD (Triangle / Outcry records / Random Monster) 35Lt/10e
After having delighted in a few excellent tapes and a LP it is time to enjoy this first CD of the duet from Gothenburg, Sweden. Dan Johansson and Matthias Andresson are some of the best at what they do. The noise is solid, dense like lead, free of intricate experiments and gloomy pathos. It is made of simplicity and power. Pure pleasure.

Jaakko Vanhala - Here Be Lions CD (Freak Animal Records) 40Lt/12e
Even if it feels somehow arrogant to worship something you just released. I can't take credit for making the material. I simply heard "Here Be Lions" material before it was released as tape and even if this was scheduled for magnificent Sprachlos Verlag label. I immediately told this is simply too good to be 100 copies tape what will disappear in current flood of north european noise. It was agreed there must be CD release and I'm proud to say this represents possibly the best harsh noise CD ever released in north europe. It goes right up there. next to genre defining milestone. It has all the necessary elements. Fierce and brutal sound full of energy. Hands on approach with strong focus on physical object. Utmost care on textures and subtle details. Individual sounds sources. tape manipulations. mixdown and composition. Even if cd includes some material previously heard on tape. it stand strong as proper album. Essential for fanatics of noise with passion and artistic intergrity!

Macronympha ‎– Studio 95 CD (Triangle / Cerosene / Outcry records) 35Lt/10e
Personally, I don't quite favor the bands with long discography lists, although MACRONYMPHA is an exception because you can never get too much of it. The CD contains studio material recorded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1995. Those 30 cassette copies that were originally released are now re-released in the CDs with a new mastering. Embarking on this multi-layered, heavy vintage noise be prepared for a lot of dirt, electronic signals, hissings and falling to pieces cassette tapes. Classics.

Peenemünde ‎– II CD (Freak Animal Records) 40Lt/12e
I wasn't personally very excited when Peenemunde approached with their first recordings. I gave harsh critics and eventually project decided to completely re-do the material what eventually became their (improved) debut album. Case was entirely different with this second full length. I saw their great live performance and had opportunity to hear some raw out-takes of upcoming second album. Instantly I offered to publish material as proper CD. if rest of material stands equally strong. And it does. No critics of suggestions was needed. On first album P. Perä-Takala (Sick Seed) and P. Dassum (Umpio) basically combined the known elements of their projects as mere "collaboration". but now Peenemunde stands as project of its own identity! Second assault of Peenumunde abandons smashing junk metals and enters the dark laboratory of poisonous experiments with cold electronics! Duo created material live on tape in sessions what to me sounds unlike anyone else does. It has the cold electric feel. without the elements of "techno". It has the fierce junk metals. without fitting into line with other junk metal noisers out there. It is rotten sound from gutters of laboratory. without being unnecessary "lofi" or poor quality. Thematically Peenemünde is based on inventiveness of mankind in the field of warfare and cruelty. concentrating especially on WWII. Essential!

raison d'être ‎– Сollected Works CD (Infinite Fog) 50Lt/14e
As the title suggests 'Collected Works' is not an album with new material of raison d'etre (Peter Andersson). It is a collection of tracks from between 1999 and 2010 that has appeared on various compilations or other external projects. Suprisingly, despite the collection fact, these tracks form together a unity like if they were material for a conceptual album and presents a memorandum of a past. Death, decay, melancholia and sadness is the common attributes and this is also beautifully rendered in the images by Martin Bladh (Irm, Skin Area) used for the artwork. His premature death masks sequence is based on different aging faces of Peter Andersson and works as the perfect facade for this kind of soundwise journey and exposure.

Velemara ‎– Abysmia CD (Autarkeia) 40Lt/12e
A new project of a certain Lithuanian and we breath with relief that not all is lost on Lithuanian industrial scene. Not everyone is biding their time in the piss rotting with the glass of beer in their hands. Velemara sound quality shows that there still exist people who invest a lot of time into the music equipment. Very responsive Velemara sound takes you to a phantasmagorical world of dusk. At times, the atmosphere is futuristic and militaristic, and then again so mystical as to evoke interesting associations to the audience. The style of music makes one infer that the author has indeed heard NTT, Nordvargr and MZ412 projects. In broader terms, Velemara offers a remarkable solid Scandinavian-type sound and a black industrial atmosphere.

Father Murphy - Orsanti They called them CS (Yerevan Tapes) 25Lt/7e
One of the best bands in worldwide esoteric/experimental/industrial rock scenario coming back with one exclusive release for Yerevan Tapes!
Inspired by Luca Dipierro, who, after making his animated films, pastes the cut-outs on the surfaces of discarded book covers to create totally new art; and paying tribute to William Burroughs, whom the band owes so much (first of all, their name), Father Murphy chose four soundtracks made for Luca's animations. Using cut-up as an ideal pop song influence, they slowly rewrote the four musical movements, starting from and influenced by the images of the animations but going beyond them. The resulting music is a possible future path for Fr. Murphy.
As Luca Dipierro himself states: “The soundtracks of Father Murphy for my animated films ARE the films. Their sounds ARE the textures of my figures. Their silences ARE the sounds that my paper marionettes make.”

Of course this too is all electronic, but it has some great dynamics. Here PBK can sink to an almost inaudible level and put on some delicate sounds, before leaping into a tape loop of industrial, mechanized rhythms. Excellent retro music, and a nice archival find
