★No Holiday
Sky Blue Void
Matthew Bower's Total released 'Sky Blue Void' in 1994 through Freek, recorded the same year as previous NOHL reissue Skullflower's "Last Shot at Heaven." "Sky Blue Void" is the zoner of zoners, as heavenly and crushing as the rapturous cover art suggests. Release yourself to the void.
Invocation Of The Beast Gods
If "Cathedral" is one of Nigel Ayers' most celestially minded records, then "Invocation of the Beast Gods" is among his most ritualistic. We start at full throttle with suffocating tension before giving way to an uneasy release. "Tranquil" this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications — here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning. No Holiday is pleased to offer "Invocation of the Beast Gods" alongs…
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel A…
Werewolf Jerusalem
*249 copies limited edition* The "static noise" project of Richard Ramirez, Werewolf Jerusalem was introduced to the world fully formed and consumed with darkness. Ramirez is no stranger to confrontation, which makes this album's mysterious approach all the more sinister. No track titles, murky and dystopian samples, and overwhelming sound that pulses and stutters but retains all of its lurching power, plowing endlessly forward until it all just stops. 24 years after its release, Werewolf Jerusa…
God Has Shot Himself
*249 copies limited edition* Reissue of the long out of print 1996 album. In the 22 years since "God Has Shot Himself" was released as a CDr by Legion Sudan, it has gained a somewhat mythic status as a notably disquieting release. Some might say disturbing — and they'd be right. But it's also more than that. "God Has Shot Himself" is the sound of abandonment, of spiritual collapse. It is just over a half hour of total blackening annihilation that still must be heard to be understood. Now on viny…
Merzbow Mixed Total
The two masters, thousands of miles apart, released this fearsome collaboration in 1997 on Sterilized Decay. Matthew Bower's source sounds were processed, mangled and reassembled by Masami Akita for 50 minutes of unbridled destruction. At once a summation and reconfiguration of both artist's incredible work throughout the 1990s. Remastered and with a new layout based on the original tape.
Red Magnesia Pink
First released by Extreme in the massive, infamous 'Merzbox,' "Red Magnesia Pink" is extracted and recontextualized as a standalone release for the first time. Recorded in 1995, "Red Magnesia Pink" sees Merzbow in peak form. A psychedelic whirlwind of synthetic transmissions; harsh, wet, screeching sounds that could only be produced by Masami Akita. Featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the same era.
Freak-out Electrolyze
Reissue of the long out of print 1997 album. All performed, recorded and edited at Acty Hanazono, Summer 1997. Used Instruments: Microphone, Colorsound Pedals, Romero Theremin, 60'sFuzz, Expj Ring Modulator, Arion & Guyatone Digital Delay, Evans Super Echo and Noise Canister.
Mukudori
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* The third offering in No Holiday's September 7-inch batch comes courtesy of Merzbow, offering up twin bursts of total electronic punishment that could have been made by no one else. Avian electronics for white-cheeked starlings the world over.
The Cauldron of Flesh and Copper
*2025 stock. 35 copies limited edition* For the first time on a physical format, No Holiday brings you two releases from Pawtucket, RI's Crusher Conveyor. True electronic dissections and recombinations of all things dark and horrible, these two span drone, harsh noise and good old-fashioned industrial in a package that sounds distinctly out of time.
Rebuild, Purify
*2025 stock. 35 copies limited edition* For the first time on a physical format, No Holiday brings you two releases from Pawtucket, RI's Crusher Conveyor. True electronic dissections and recombinations of all things dark and horrible, these two span drone, harsh noise and good old-fashioned industrial in a package that sounds distinctly out of time.
The Twitching Clot
*2025 stock. 250 copies limited edition* Brooklyn's Mouths Agape offers 23 minutes of suffocating power electronics exploring dreams, child abuse and the possibility of violence. An outpouring of contempt in the spirit of the contemptible.
Msanthology Volume One & Two
*2025 stock* Since January 2024, New Jersey's Chvrch Street has released 14 digital releases and counting. With stark titles composed of sinister compound words, these releases span dark ambient, death industrial and pure noise with a surprising degree of emotional complexity.
Here, No Holiday is releasing the first ten EPs in two packages, showcasing the evolution of the project while allowing each one to tell its own story. Best listened in one marathon session, Misanthology Vol. 1 & 2 is read…
Mysterious Guy Hardcore Junglist
*65 copies limited edition* New York's Chronowerx serves up a slab of jungle as refracted through Americanoise and Jerkbooth arguments on 'Mysterious Guy Hardcore Junglist,' No Holiday's first cassette release. Breaks are chopped into chthonic new forms beyond easy classifiers like "power noise." Jungle's form is exploded and reassembled over and over again on each of these four tracks, familiar and unrecognizable at once.
Circular Reference
Masami Akita continues his work as the world's premiere extreme dynamicist on 'Circular Reference,' his latest full-length and first for No Holiday. It's a torrent of synthesized tones colliding against punishing layers of feedback and midrange noise. But there are also snatches of lurching rhythms to be found, as well as moments of relative uneasy calm. More than anything, it's distinctly Merzbow. Released on 2xLP and CD formats, the latest from this titan of noise is sure to please longtime li…
