Renihilation
Brooklyn, NY’s Liturgy deal in a style of black metal steeped in the genre’s most basic foundations of buzzing, dissonant guitars and whirlwind percussion, and yet they demonstrate an acute ability to make the sound firmly their own, both modern and ancient. Liturgy’s unique take on the genre only slightly recalls their NYC friends Krallice and the earlier works of the Norwegian wolves Ulver (particularly their 3rd LP masterwork Nattens Madrigal). In some sense Liturgy represents the seeping of …

Valediction
The First all new Ramleh album since 1997, and the first new power electronics recordings from the project for 25 years. And yet Valediction is no ordinary “power electronics” record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. Valediction is very much an entity of its own – both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. Valediction is, perhaps, Ramleh’s most bleakly psych…
Mectpyo / Blut
At the beginning of the metabolic year 1980, after Maurizio Bianchi finished the embryonal experience as Sacher-Pelz, he decided to undertake the concrete-synchronized course as M.B., a long-lived acronym that will accompany him along his next way of neuro-synthetic experimenter. His first ever release was the private cassette-tape entitled “Metcpyo/Blut”. An hematopoietic experiment decomposed during the months of March and beginning of April 1980 at Mectpyo Studio. Proposed here in its origina…
Industrial Musics - v. 1
Huge book (656 pages) on early industrial scene, in french only. Le concept de musique industrielle forgé par le groupe Throbbing Gristle au milieu des années soixante-dix a par la suite connu de singulières évolutions avec le nombre pléthorique de formations qui se sont ralliées à cette mouvance du rock expérimental. En un très court laps de temps, on a même vu apparaître ce qu’il n’est pas exagéré d’appeler un véritable mouvement se réclamant de l’industriel, englobant des univers sonores et d…
Certainty of Swarms
LP version: the fusion of metal, noise rock, free jazz, industrial, and harsh electronics that makes up The Certainty of Swarms is the rare kind of heterogeneous concoction that is carefully matured, but never lost in pedestrian calculation. A blistering onslaught of metallic-fused noise-murk, Swarms is considered by the band to be one of their most complete statements to date, an aptly blindsiding and developed work drawing from all quarters of their craft. Lp Version of this classic is finally…

Rewolf
Remix albums might be the new live albums, but over the past few years, "sessions" have also come to prominence as a way for artists to reimagine or repurpose their music in a variety of different scenarios. Things like Daytrotter, La Blogotheque, Black Cab Sessions, "Don't Look Down" and other Pitchfork.tv shows, and AOL Sessions, have become the "MTV Unplugged" for the era of inexpensive digital technology, constantly shifting economic imperatives, and small-but-fervent online publ…
Z
“Z is about infinity and the double dimension we all live in yet don't fully understand. Z is the sound of that feeling you get when you think you're being watched or followed by the omnipotent one. Z is for believers and followers of the "Ecstatic Truth" that fuels this mysterious universe. Z has always existed and here is is as remembered and transfered solid by the people under the sun, the Sunburned..” – John Moloney, Sunburned
Flame desastre
Sister Iodine are an experimental rock band from Paris. As a trio, they've been creating a cacophony of savage noise and primal free rock exploration since the early 90's, releasing two albums on the French imprint Semantic before taking a ten year hiatus to return in 2007 with the brutal 'Helle' LP. 'Flame Desastre' was originally a vinyl only release on the Premier Sang label earlier this year, but has been picked up for a CD reissue backed with extra tracks by Peter Rehberg's noble Editions M…
Opiate Sun
The EP might be the ideal format for Justin Broadrick's music, regardless of his alias. Whether he's trying to erase your head via concrete-slab guitars in Napalm Death, reduce techno to a series of clockwork hammerblows with Final, or massage your pleasure centers with neo-shoegaze in Godflesh, Broadrick's music has a laudable singularity. The three-or-four-song dose mainlines his all-consuming mood of the moment without the potential dilution of trying to fill up a CD. Broadrick claims to be …

Limb
Subtitled Minimal Compositions, Instrumentals, and Experiments 1980-1983, J.G. Thirlwell's CD-DVD retrospective casts an entirely new and surprising light on his already diverse and infamous Foetus moniker. Some of these songs are close to being 30 years old, however they share more in common with Thirlwell's Manorexia and Steroid Maximus projects than with anything found on albums like Hole or Nail. Steeped in the theory and aesthetics of modern composition, Limb is a revelatory collection th…
Collaboration
A new collaboration with Canadian harsh noise artist THE RITA and Italian harsh noise artist ALO GIRL (Urashima label owner Cristiano Renzoni). Taking the combined love of both projects for knives, legs, black hose and Giallo films, the two vinyl tracks fill your ears with a solid flow of scratchy and roaring auditory dirt ! The LP comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on black cardboard sleeve, limited to 147 hand numbered copies w/two insert. Legs on both sides of the cover by Alo Girl approve…
Mrs. Wardh
Awesome radical noise LP by An Innocent Young Throat-Cutter, a project of harsh noise walls from Houston, Texas and began in 1994 with the release "Blues".
