New Arrivals
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…
Organic Skyscrapers & Occult Wastelands
'I really don't know what to say... I have just released a 10' by my favorite band!

Suppression In The Third
Jason Crumer likes what you like: noise, girls, getting wasted once in while and maybe a spot of trouble here and there. He first started blowing minds as guitarist in the insane sludge punk core outfits Aluminum Noise and Facedowninshit. As well as the ultra-weirdo outfits American Band, Now In Darkness World Stops Turning and Amazing Grace. Since going solo in 2005 he's released fascinating and brainmelting USA noise death on labels like Iatrogenesis, Audiobot, Ignivomous, RRR, Nazot, Chondrit…

Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their …

The result for Kvalt is a 7" and a c38 for something like 50 minutes of music. All package in a reel to reel box with insert.
Fortune
An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between “sound”, drums spliced and severed, 18-piece “noise” orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On “Fortune,” Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six…

Here's an unmissable and collectable 150 copies limited edition CD album, released to celebrate our fifth year of activities and available only as a free "bonus" included in the "bag" that contains the latest 13 Silentes releases.

Obitorio Veneto
conceived by artist Nico Vascellari as contribution to the Diedrich Diedrichsen-curated exhibition Rock Scissors Paper at Kunsthaus Graz. Lago Morto is “about things that casting calls usually exclude -- targeted aggression, unpredictable social effects and local politics.” The band performed for fifteen days in Vittorio Veneto in nonmusical venues such as bars, hotels, pizzeriaa, laundrettes, video stores etc. All fourteen of the band’s songs are on the CD. The DVD contains a video from each of…
Duo
Recordings from Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani. Kiyoshi was a member of Merzbow in the 80's and has made solo works since 1989, though main man Masami Akita has been the backbone of the band since 1979. These recordings are mainly from the '87-'89 era, but some of the earliest recordings were released in 1979. The first Merzbow tour abroad was in 1988 in Russia, featuring Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani. The second was in Europe (Holland, Germany, and France) in 1989 where Kiyoshi als…
CD Box 1970-1973
Massive 7xCD box set compiling rare material by the great alto screamer Kaoru Abe is the lost wild legend of '70s Japanese free jazz. In the short space of his tempestuous life, he burnt a path which has served as a map for a whole generation of Japanese artists to follow who would call themselves 'free' in any sense of the word whatsoever. Though he performed live frequently in his day, his releases were sporadic, many of them emerging after his untimely death in 1978, and on a string of Japane…
Predators
European tour 7". Two 5 minute studio tracks of processed underwater recordings. Bayonet and diving knife scrapings in a steel basin, recorded closely and then processed to breaking point. Limited edition of 200 copies.
CD box
Abe at his best! Crudely generalising a contrast in free jazz tendencies between AMM/SME/MIC/FMP and AACM/ESP, it's hard to say if Abe's closer to the gentle, bearded intellectualism of some European improvisation, or to the gutsier funk of more US freedom fighters. Up there with the best of both Western sides of the sea, but unlike any one from either, his stroppy, razor-sharpening alto style mixes tousled emotionalism with dogged puzzling, like an amalgam of Anthony Braxton and a sadder, angri…
qanngirpalippuq
Limited to 130 copies. Harsh Noise old school from Paris, 100% improv.
Weight
Nolan Throop is well known for his solo project Kakerlak and several brilliant collaborations. Parallel to this has always cultivated a passion for industrial and the more obscure noise, in constant progression through its project vergraben before and rumination now. Short tracks, monotonous and percussive, sounding like a degraded version of the SPK. Old drum machines, junk metal loops and radio voices that create industrial marches covered with a thick dose of negativity…
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…
Like A Frog In Winter
Features Prurient, Pedestrian Deposit, Sewer Election, Panicsville, Immaculate Grotesque, Ahlzgailzehguh, Barrikad, Omei, Climax Denial, Stegm, Mark Solotroff, FFH, A Fail Association, etc. etc." Includes poster. "i started putting this compilation together in 2004 while residing in providence. at that time the climate of noise was rather hi-fi, technological, and cold. This was the start of noise as entertainment rather than entertaining. personal communication became lost. noise becam…
To Noisetherion
Obscure artist from Italy, harsh noise with not so dynamic structures, junk abuse, no space for field recordings or concrete parts. A brutal assault, perfect mix between early Bastard Noise era and 90s Japanese scene.
Condensed Death
RESTOCKED amazing 7": a wall of sound, predominantly on some 'obscure' and distorted machines, creating a terror noise music, originating from metal, a conceptual and extreme musical journey.
