All Are Guests In The House Of The Lord
With so damn many records pouring out, there are precious few artists who strain against sagging shelves and actually merit the “must hear” designation. One of them for me is Kevin Drumm. Widely known “guitarist” and relentless disassembler of technique, expression, and expectation, Drumm has recorded seminal solo records (first on Perdition Plastics, then the epochal Sheer Hellish Miasma), tussled in some notable duos (with, for example, RLW with Ralf Wehowsky), and even shown up to upend some …
The Fall Of Nature
As far as the history of power electronics goes, few acts have maintained as much interest and activity as Sutcliffe Jügend. The duo of Paul Taylor and Kevin Tompkins has released crucial early recordings on labels as revered as Come Organization and Broken Flag. The group has resumed actions under the Sutcliffe Jügend banner with a return album, This is the Truth last year also on Hospital Productions. While that record pleased fans old and new with the power electronics style SJ helped pioneer…
Savage Summer Sun
'Savage Summer Sun' is the highly anticipated new full length from the Double Leopards on Pruient's Hospital Productions label. Two lengthy tracks each recorded live from their recent US tour: Il Coral, Los Angeles and KDVS, Davis. Deep, turning, sinister industrial wrapped in existential undertow.

Challenger is a composed work, not an improvisation, with each piece revolving around a central melodic theme, featuring field recordings, which …
Shanked And Slithering
"Nearly 80 minutes of the most animalistic and violent industrial noise to ever crack the crust of the earth. Compiles and reworks early and unreleased out of print noise classics as well as brand new noise aberrations. For fans of early Controlled Bleeding ala Knees And Bones And Bladder Bags!" - Hospital Productions.
Symphony For A Genocide
First issued on LP in 1981 by Sterile Records, London, England. The moral of this work: The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. MB: electronics. Coproduct by Hospital with w.m.o/r. 'Symphony For A Genocide came out in 1981, after some releases on tape for this Italian Industrialist. On this album, MB construct brutal, hallucinatory blasts of electronic noise and grinding rhythms of hand-cut tape noise and overblown synthetic distortion. These, bleak chilling drones are re…
Snail on a razor
Live in-person collaboration of mid-ranged feedback hell laden with raw human drones of cosmic existential turbulence from from Matthew Bower (legend of Total, Skullflower, Ramleh, etc.) Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards, Zaimph, GHQ, etc.) and Dominick Fernow (Vegas Martyrs, Nihilist Assault Group, Ash Pool, etc.).
Hair Police
'Basement noise dirge death skuzz hell. Compiles the long out of print hospital cassette and mortuary servants ep while adding new exclusive mud-noise constructions from the drawn dead sessions.' Hospital Productions.
