★White Centipede Noise
In The Pale Moon Light
Originally released as a cassette on Palemoon Productions by a 12-year-old Henry Mallard in 2011. This cassette reissue includes an 8 page booklet of photos and liner notes from Henry Mallard, his mother Margaret Rial, and Ron Lessard.
Puke On My Corpse
CD reissue of the exceedingly rare and scarcely heard tape by this Italian legend who needs no introduction, originally released as part of the BloodLust! Cassette Series in 1996. Packaged in a tall format 6-panel digipack to honor the classic BloodLust! layout, this reissue features extensive liner notes by Sam McKinlay and Mark Solotroff.
"The resulting sound is like a chaptered journey through DBL’s influential brand of harsh noise, creating a mountain of HN information that maintains the blo…
Venal / Heteronormative Musik För Att Stärka Medelklassens Självbild
Tip! White Centipede Noise proudly presents: 2 all time classic tapes, now on 1 compact disc! Treriksröset is one of the all time masters of hands-on orthodox harsh noise, making even the most world-weary naysayers keep their candle lit for this type of ecstatic art. The two tapes being presented here are staples of modern harsh noise and belong in every collection. Even if you have the originals, you need this CD just for the brilliant bargain-bin layout by Tony Stovik.
Endless Tunnel
"These recordings are an attempt to process many long hours spent in isolation and many late nights spent both welcoming and dreading the following days." CD reissue of a one sided C90 released on Veil Tapes in 2022. Bleak, moist, subterranean noise that evokes a peaceful fearfulness. One of the best things I've heard from a relative newcomer in the past few years, it felt only right to do a CD version to spread it further.
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.
The Heat Of The Hole / Temporary & Successive Stages
*In process of stocking* While “no description necessary” is the most fitting description for anything with the name Kakerlak on it, I am sensitive to the fact that there may be a new generation of harsh noise enthusiast emerging who have not been properly exposed, due to his relative elusiveness in recent years. Kakerlak is one of the elite HN projects active since the mid 2000s, and a defining artist of the genre. His sound wields the most powerful elements of mid 90’s Americanoise as broad br…
Final Judgment
Tip! *In process of stocking* Wyatt Howland is not only a force of noise, he is an institution. For nearly two decades, he has been producing some of the most potent and ugly industrial harsh noise around as Skin Graft, both on tape and live in the flesh. He has also inspired scores of noise soldiers through his fully committed and unpretentious attitude, never seeking limelight or chasing clout, but having earned his crown by putting in the work and keeping it real.
“Final Judgment,” originally…
Sacred Violence Noise
*In process of stocking* Active in the top tier of the noise underground for over 15 years since his teens under numerous aliases, Vill Van Gorder changed the landscape of modern American harsh noise in 2017 by summoning the avatar Worth and releasing the "Blinder" LP - a pure harsh noise record with a singular sound and aesthetic that re-introduced Van Gorder to the then floundering scene as an artist who creates works of totality, challenging established tropes of what entities like ritual, ev…
Midwestern Companion
Tip! *300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Grain Belt was a project formed in 2008 in Minneapolis by Joe Beres (Willful, Small Doses label), Oskar Brummel (Wince, White Centipede Noise) and Sam Stoxen (Baculum, Phage Tapes). The goal was basically to make noise as possible with just a few pieces of scrap metal and distortion pedals. For several years, it was treated like a real band with proper rehearsals, frequent live performances and a small tour in 2010. This CD compiles all p…
Tarmac
Tip! *In process of stocking* Maranata is Jon Wesseltoft and Dag Stiberg, a Norwegian duo active since the mid 2000s with releases on distinguished labels such Picadisk, [OHM] Records, New Forces and Abhorrent A.D. “Tarmac” consists of two long-form barrages of sharp hellfire - the first being a tight slab of density and frenzied purge; the second a nest of fractured pressure and restrained intensity, eventually giving in to total implosion. Stiberg’s baritone sax sits perfectly along the spinal…
Aterblick
Over the years when listening to the diverse catalog of Altar Of Flies, the primate in me has on numerous occasions tripped across a selfish thought: it would be sick as fuck if AOF did a release that was, like, straight harsh noise. Nearly all of his releases are laced with masterful passages of blown out crunch, but always as a counterpoint to more delicate and introspective narrative sound. In 2020 as we worked on the Work Ethics CD together, I toyed with the idea of making such a suggestion,…
The Fourth Season
The fourth installment from this brilliant Finnish duo consisting of Aprapat and Mogao, two relative newcomers who have climbed to the top of the pig-pile over the past 2 years. A certain Finnish “gatekeeper” claimed their debut tape was possibly one of the best Finnish harsh noise releases ever, and for my money, they’ve only gotten better since then. They follow their land’s tradition of junk metal abuse noise through mic’d amps, but their sonic skills and playful arrangements set them apart f…
Hot Lava Shampoo
One of noise’s freshest voices, hailing from Finland. Extremely creative and resonant harsh noise utilizing the basic elements. After a number of great cassettes on his own brilliant Satatuhatta label that a lot of folks (particularly in the USA) slept on, the world is finally ready to enjoy the genius of Aprapat.
Retrace No Steps
Latest release of K.M. Toepfler on White Noise Centipede. Cold, surgical harsh noise achieving militant purity through unorthodox means. Minimalistic brain drilling, carving, and rolling textures. Latent tones that attack the body’s nodes and trigger the misfiring of synapses. The disturbing sense of an ongoing moment of déjà vu that continuously compounds upon itself in waves.
Ruth
Ruth is Jason Crumer’s previously inaccessible harsh noise masterpiece. Recorded specifically for CD (and mastered apocalyptically loud) in 2004-05, Ruth was planned for release on numerous labels at the time of its completion, none of which came to fruition. Eventually, as if resigned to its fate, it was released as a highly limited tape on Nazot in 2008 - a format not at all conducive to the material. The noise on Ruth is razor-sharp and absolutely pummeling cut-up style harsh noise, executed …
Fifty-Sixty
**Edition of 300 copies pressed to yellow vinyl with light green marble, in high gloss sleeve and black disco bag. ** Tip! The long-lost psychedelic album from the Incapacitants of the North! On Friday November the 13th, 2009, Lasse Marhaug and Tommi Keränen had an extremely productive day at a real-deal high-end studio in Helsinki, recording a 7” (Het Potati - released on A Dear Girl Called Wendy), a CD (Python In The Bowl - released on Freak Animal) and an LP (Fifty-Sixty - this one). An unnam…
Killing For Germany / Ragsved
The collaborative recordings of Sewer Election and Treriksröset throughout the mid-2000s are some of the most singular works of harsh noise orthodoxy ever created, holding a heavy position in the canon of noise music. The highly refined and counter-intuitive approach to layering, texture and dynamics contrasts miraculously with primitivism and minimalism, manifesting in several 30 minute slabs of exquisite crust recorded live to tape. "Killing For Germany" is perhaps their most static and straig…
Lacerations
Six international artists showcased across two compact discs of shredding sound, clattering depths, power electronics violence, and deafening discordance. Though a diverse compilation, Lacerations plays out like a cohesive extended nightmare. Twenty minutes each of essential material from Bacillus, Richard Ramirez, Rusalka, Interracial Sex, Vms Elit, and Cost. Mastered by Grant Richardson at extreme volume. Play loud.
Casual Collisions
Casual Collisions is a collaborative album by two of the most prominent voices in experimental sound, Aaron Dilloway and Jeph Jerman. Recorded in 2013 and originally self-released on CDR by Jerman in a small edition, New Forces and White Centipede Noise are pleased to make these recordings widely available for the first time. Across four tracks the unique voices of these artists meld seamlessly together. Jerman’s tactile, physical sounds are wrapped up in Dilloway’s magnetic wizardry. Damaged el…
