Medicine Stunts
Psychic Sounds presents Medicine Stunts, the long-awaited first vinyl pressing of haunting atmospheric meditations of Aaron Dilloway's most foreboding ambient works. Originally released by Lal Lal Lal in 2014, these atmospheric practices and mysterious meditations receive their first proper mastering and wax pressing, revealing new depths in the Wolf Eyes founder's exploration of shadowed sound territories. Recorded across 2009 and 2014 using an arsenal of unconventional instruments - tapes, jug…
Live At Knitting Factory
*2025 stock* The live recording from New York’s Knitting Factory captures noise guru Merzbow in transcendent form, serving the audience with subtle hypnotic pulses to go with rich textures of raw to low frequencies. The immersive baths of sonic clusters, sine wave swoops, rumbling low mids and glissandos jumping off of rooftops diving down to dervish dance of bit fragments offer the listener a rare glimpse of what it means to find soothing charm and calm in the chaos.
Sharing the bill and the st…
Pulchrum Metallum
Hot on the heels of the TNB + LSD La Puissance Du Vide LP (Wepwawet Editions) comes Pulchrum Metallum, a three-track collaboration CD in conjunction with Knurl. Pulchrum Metallum is a work of a seemingly incompatible blending of aesthetics. Allan Zane has seamlessly merged the anti-music of TNB with Knurl’s mechanized, amorphous soundscapes, feeding the results through the LSD absurdity blender to create a swirling vortex of utter chaos.
Music For Organic Performance
New Forces presents Kjostad's Music For Organic Performance. These six new recordings emerged from solitary performances conducted on-location in northern Minnesota. An attempt to rethink the collection of "source sounds" and invite the listener into moments that would be otherwise inaccessible. Electronics and other machines were introduced later in the process, a form of synthesis that added additional depth and contradiction to the original recordings. Listeners will feel the edges of glaciat…
Flyers & Blues
Pushing boundaries and redefining sonic experimentation, Gabi Losoncy and The Rita join forces for a striking new CD, “Flyers & Blues.” This uncompromising release offers a visceral audio experience, with each track composed entirely using NHL regulation hockey sticks and pucks, performed and recorded indoors. Heralding a union of physicality and sound, both Losoncy and The Rita channel the intensity and unpredictability of the rink, translating it into pure auditory form. The result is a raw, t…
Was That Always There?
Cyess Afxzs announces the release of "Was That Always There?", a bold new project crafted by S. McCune and Caesar Oetterli, blending raw and experimental electronics for an immersive sonic journey. The record captures novel textures—recorded between November 2024 and February 2025—featuring drums by Caesar and all other instrumentation and mixing by McCune.
"Was That Always There?" marks a significant evolution for the Cyess Afxzs project, known for pushing boundaries within the harsh noise and …
Clang Quartet / Crank Sturgeon
*100 copies limited edition* Noise. Ritual. Performance. Transformation. Two of experimental music’s most uncompromising voices — Clang Quartet and Crank Sturgeon — collide in a brand-new split release that drags listeners deep into the unpredictable wilderness of sound.
For decades, both Clang Quartet (North Carolina’s Scotty Irving) and Crank Sturgeon (the ever-morphing project of Matt Anderson) have built reputations for visceral, unhinged, and deeply theatrical approaches to noise. Now, on…
Apuvälinekeskus
From the shadowy void of Finland’s most uncompromising noise underground emerges Ieskadulla with their latest work, Apuvälinekeskus — a jagged, unflinching transmission of pure sonic abrasion. Released via Satatuhatta, a label renowned for its dedication to the most extreme fringes of sound art, this album stands as a raw testament to the power of noise as both confrontation and catharsis.
Apuvälinekeskus slices through the listener’s perception with dense layers of feedback, scorched electronic…
Worm's Meat
Body Tenant’s debut Worm’s Meat offers an unflinching examination of bodily horror and existential erosion, its sound design both suffocating and eerily beautiful. Each track submerges the listener in layers of distortion and desolation, exploring the fragility of the human shell amidst industrial ruin. This release aligns with Phage Tapes’ commitment to artistry over profit: all proceeds are reinvested into releasing more challenging, vital music.
Barbare Electrique
The trip of Steel Mammoth has truly been long and strange. On this album they've finally come to an end, sort of. This is true post-post-apocalyptic electro-acoustic noise, culled from metal percussion, gongs and electronics by Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle, Pharaoh Overlord), Ilkka Vekka (Gatha, Haare etc.) and Ville Pirinen (Seremonia, VPCS). Imagine a lost INA-GRM session, dug up from radioactive black sand in the year 3019. Circuit funeral march, ritual music for androids. A joint release between …
Merzphysics
*300 copies limited edition* First released in 2012 on Japanese label Youth Inc. as a 10xCD Box and long time sold out. After 13 years this completely re-mastered Super-Merz-Sonik album is finally going to be re-released on OEC!
The Merzphysics set features previously unreleased recordings from 1993 to 1995, focusing on pure noise made before the introduction of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. The noise is described as being linked to grindcore, having a sense of speed, and was re…
Sporangium
*300 copies limited edition* A sporangium (from Ancient Greek sporá 'seed' and angeîon 'vessel') is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other groups form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in land plants and many fungi, sporangia produce genetically distinct haploid spores by meiosis.
Sporangium is brand new "merzsoniks"! Equipments used b…
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.
The Merge
*2025 stock* Picturing a portrait of a woman’s independence through noxious electronics.“The Merge” is balancing brutal beauty and confronting auras with fractured emotions while each track gives another perspective on eternal dilemmas. Who do you turn to and are you satisfied with your life?

Collection 001-010
Carrying on their longstanding dedication to the seminal output of Merzbow, Urashima returns with what is unquestionably their most ambitious release to date: “Collection 001-010”, a deluxe, 10 LP vinyl box set limited to 299 copies, gathering together the entirety of the project’s first ten releases, originally released in 1981. Encountering the band in its early incarnation of the duo of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani, raw, exposed and bristling with energy, foreshadowing numerous trajector…
Statue Falls
Renowned for some beautiful guitar work, as Translucent Envelope, Portland based artist Bob Desaulniers explores the more abstract side of sound managing to hold together a sparkling synthesis of agitation and precision, detail and roughness, perfecting a formula that has already been leading phenomenal releases out on Chocolate Monk, among others.
Ultra Point Of Intersection Exist
*199 copies limited edition* Originally released in 1987, this album stands as a defining statement of the Japanese noise and industrial music scene - an unrelenting fusion of harsh and heavy electronics paired with mechanized rhythms. The brainchild of Ichiro Tsuji, Dissecting Table’s sonic assault exists in the same lineage as the dystopian brutality of Whitehouse, the mechanical terror of early SPK and the raw sonic deconstruction of early Einstürzende Neubauten. At the crossroads of noise, i…
