Live In Hong Kong
Sissy Spacek is known for their extended approach to sound and performance. Founded in 1999, the group (since 2013, primarily a duo of Charlie Mumma and John Wiese) have released a broad range of work, from grindcore to musique concrète, with a considerable gulf of experimentation in between. Their performance at Empty Gallery in Hong Kong and its peripheral documentation is an example of the band’s abstracting style and approach. Recorded on the occasion of Takeshi Murata’s “Infinite Doors” ope…
Repo
** Released in a beautiful limited edition of 300 copies, fully remastered for this vinyl edition by Lasse Marhaug ** The roots of noise can be traced back to the experimental works of composers like Luigi Russolo, who in the early 20th century introduced the concept of noise machines or "Intonarumori" and advocated for the inclusion of industrial and mechanical sounds in music. This laid the foundation for the exploration of unconventional and non-musical sounds as viable artistic expressions. …

Terrarium
Presenting a brand new CD from Hugo Esquinca and Russell Haswell. After several years of collaboration, “Terrarium” is the first in a series of full lengths from these two proper legends. A split release sequenced together as an album, Haswell and Esquinca alternate in their delivery of equally savage sonic material. If you’re here for another tabletop pedal noise CD - this ain’t it. Playback with headphones at a high volume recommended.
Antimateria
*50 handnumbered Editions on blue 135g Vinyl* Maurizio Bianchi is one of the founders of early industrial and noise music and should be familiar to most. For Antimateria he contributed two brand new, merging pieces in which he approaches the theme through sounds of luminescent and rushing keyboard clusters. Coalminer establishes several harsh noise tracks, for which they collaborated with the most diverse artists of the genre, from different countries. With the help of Toshiji Mikawa (Japan, Fou…
Don’t Let Go: Complete Kleistwahr 1982 - 1986
*300 copies limited edition* This double-disc set does exactly as the title indicates and collects all the material Gary Mundy of Ramleh released under his solo Kleistwahr guise between 1982 and 1986. Everything originally appeared on cassette on Gary's own much lauded Broken Flag imprint, although certain titles (as noted) have appeared on limited edition vinyl reissues as well.

CATalysis 猫媒
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Elevator Bath is thrilled and honored to present the brand-new album from Merzbow, "CATalysis 猫媒": Nearly 70 minutes of highly varied but uniformly pummeling noise from one of the Greatest Of All Time. This epic collection of entirely new material is one for the ages, comprising so much of what longtime listeners have come to admire about the living legend's utterly distinctive body of work: junk electronics, screaming feedback, random beeps and blasts, occasion…
At Grnd Zero
This recording comes from a memorable show the band performed during their first (and so far last) tour in France. The concert had been a heavy mass of around 90 minutes, of whom only a part was caught on cassette, as nobody remembered to flip side when it was time. Anyway what got recorded is here, and it's still enough to dig the psychoactive multitude of sound informations Melting Mind delivered in Lyon that night. A hypnotic vortex of multi-layered dimensions. Italo-noise at its best, as in …
Δ8000 / Prelude To Pallo
Tip! *2023 repress. Real time professionally duplicated tapes.* “What can possibly be said about these two legendary groups that hasn’t been said already? Ironically, when this split cassette tape was originally released in 1985 on Alchemy Records, both Hijokaidan and Incapacitants were just starting to share their own voices with the unassuming outside world, crystallizing a sound that displayed an immense power, but would also continue to morph throughout the years up to the present time. True…
No Paris / No Harm
Tip! *180 gram vinyl, reverse board jackets. True to original pressing layout with a clean loud remaster.* Recorded 1987 & 1988 in Tokyo and Paris. Junko, Jojo & T. Mikawa blaze through 3 tracks of their signature disjointed noise terrorism.
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.
Incapacitants / Savage Gospel
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.
Breath And Steam
'Breath and Steam’ is the latest CD album by Rémi Dazet, the mastermind behind Violent Shogun. He's been active lately also with other projects like Hattifnattar, Cryptofascisme and Mold, which are swimming in the similar experimental noisy waters. All those projects stand on their own feet, and the releases have been well thought out and nothing less than brilliant. Nevertheless, Violent Shogun can be seen as his main project, and it's always exciting to see which directions the sound is progre…
Morphosis
Satatuhatta is honoured to present the debut album of Primitive Wings, a new project by Jaakko Vanhala. ’Morphosis’ is a highly evocative album, bringing into mind vivid flashes of something primal, perhaps from the prehistoric past. At the same time it’s very raw, but without being utterly harsh. It can be seen as a sum of the artist's previous projects Zoät-Aon, Secret Apex and Vanhala, but it still presents something new.
Listening to the album, you can imagine insects digging their way throu…
1 & 2
2CD reissue of the two first The New Boyfriends cassettes released in 2020. The New Boyfriends is collaboration of Mogao and Aprapat. Harsh junk abuse and hot steam!

Album is masterfully crafted, razor sharp and detailed cut-up junk noise, like a constant barrage of flying sharpnels, built up with a vision that reveal…
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…
