Rumore Da Ritorno Audio Metallico
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Rumore Da Ritorno Audio Metallico is a collaborative album by Japanese noise artist Kazumoto Endo and Italian experimental musician Emanuele Bonini. The album, released in 2019, features a collection of six tracks that explore the intersection of noise, industrial, and avant-garde music.
The album opens with the track "Ritorno Audio Metallico," a chaotic soundscape of abrasive noise and distorted vocals that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The f…
Tightrope Walker
Tip! *315 copies limited edition* Barstool Mountain returns to Absurd Exposition after the well-regarded "III" CD from 2022. On "Tightrope Walker", the project's debut LP, Mattias Gustafsson continues his "harried, frazzled, grizzled" experiments in tape mangling with his Altar of Flies alter-ego. The album furthers the buildings-crumbling barrage of "III", leaving just enough room to realize that the walls are coming down hard.
Callous
Mangled tape loops and scrap metal torture from this key project of contemporary Canadian noise. Burgundy C20 cassette professionally duplicated with full-body sticker label and 5-panel insert.

Space Metalizer
**Limited Edition of 199 copies. Reissue for the first time, this album stands as a testament to Merzbow's artistic vision and his relentless pursuit of pushing the folds of noise. Space Metalizer is a must-listen for enthusiasts of noise music and anyone seeking a transformative and immersive sonic experience. Comes with original cover collage plus a bonus postcard and poster with amazing colored new and old collages by Masami Akita.** Noise music emerged as a distinct genre in the late 20th ce…
Borderless Field
Split collaboration between Bali and Singapore based artists.
Dreag
*Chrome tape ltd to 120 tapes* Zalhietzli and Dressing team up for this exciting split release on Satatuhatta. Both projects work in the realm of tape noise and while Dressing's approach is more hands on tape manipulations on the recorded sounds and surroundings, it sounds that Zalhietzli operates on circuit level, fusing the sound source and breaking the sonics with constant electronic shocks. They both have mastered their approach for textural broken sound and compliment each other perfectly o…

To this day, the project remains one of the most prolific and aggressively forward-thinking acts in experimental music.

Cloud Cock OO Grand
**Limited Edition of 299 copies.** Merzbow came roaring onto the Tokyo scene in 1979. To this day, the project remains one of the most prolific and aggressively forward-thinking acts in experimental music. Initially a duo of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani, before settling as the moniker of Akita alone, the project took its name from German artist Kurt Schwitters' pre-war architectural assemblage, The Cathedral of Erotic Misery or Merzbau, and quickly set out to challenge entrenched notions of…
The Temple of Sadism
Tip! Jumping Tiger consists of: Richard Ramirez (vocals, feedback) and Dominick Fernow (electronics, metals). Studio versions of two tracks from the now infamous Demo and one unreleased track. "As both old and young entered the temple they were forced to undress and photographed in front the of swordsmiths."
Green Wheels
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Green Wheels is Merzbow in its most straightforward, most genuine, most uncontrolled and refined form. Originally released by the legendary US label Self Abuse Records in 1995 on CD and 5-inch vinyl record, both housed in a foil-lined cardboard box with the abstract and impressive art work created by the artist himself, which has become another of the fetishist objects of Merzbow and now incredibly hard to find. Like all of his work since the early nineties, Gre…
Rainbow Electronics
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Originally released on CD in 1990 by Alchemy Records as part of the Good Alchemy Series, Rainbow Electronics marks the pinnacle of Merzbow's late 80’s noise phase. Selected and transformed from about 21 hours tape of primitive raw material recorded during three years (1987-1990) in 14 fragments lasting about 74 minutes, this monumental work is an aural trip through a cold plotted universe of intergalactic space ships and golden celestial bodies. Remastered in De…
Gascha Muche
Tip! *In process of stocking* An extended and remastered edition of this excellent tape (one of my favorites in the AAD catalog) that came out last year and sold out way too fast. When I first heard this material I immediately knew it was worthy of a CD edition, but we already had everything mapped out for a tape. So here it finally is, just in time for his East Coast Tour this Fall...and this is not an act you can afford to miss...truly one of the most unpredictable and interesting Harsh Noise …
Defective Politics
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking. 2022 stock* Originally released on cassette on Self Abuse Records in 1997.
Amlux
** Limited edition of 300 ** Certainly Amlux is a very cohesive and well-constructed piece; starting more softly than usual, the record slowly builds into the chaotic harsh sound that Merzbow is well known for, but this time adding some actual recognizable music elements (like rhythms), and constructing various surprisingly well-texture soundscapes, that made of this album a more focused and immersive piece that effectively keeps engaged during 40+ music of primal noise. Records like this are t…
Depraved
*60 copies limited edition* Studies in depravity via mic, electronic and cassette recorder. A climax of pleasured vox and looped brutality. Clear blue C20 cassette with full-body sticker labels and 4-panel insert.
"There was a time where i thought that anything was possible"
Torso of a Centaur
*In process of stocking* Roman Marble is an exciting under the radar project from Japan, who I first discovered after their submission to the "Hidden Promulgation" compilation awhile back (and that track actually ended up being one of my favorites on there). I have been eagerly anticipating this full length release ever since, and it does not disappoint.
Past efforts were more HNW based (and equally good) but this one is a departure from the confines of that style in favor of a more free and exp…
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…
