Tumors
Brand new CD reissue of this classic Dead Body Love album. Remastered by Grant Richardson from the original master tape, this hour long masterpiece tears though the air space with layers of iron static swirl, and overloaded bass crunch. Not to be taken lightly.
Lords Of Sex
*In process of stocking. 2023 stock* Macronympha and Mlehst. Following on from the recent 'Macrosonic' CD reissue with a new album under the Macrosonic moniker (Confused? You should be!). Three tracks of harsh and spacious electronics, dense drones and multi tracked madness to create a constantly evolving audio sensory overload. Utterly immense and inspiring by two sonic masters.
Highdrophobia
Limited Edition of 199 copies. Solmania is a Japanese noise music project founded in 1984 by Masahiko Ohno. The hallmark of this amazing artist, who builds his experimental electric guitars from spare parts, is his freakish ability to use the stringed instrument by generating absolutely unique sounds, both in his live performances and recordings. The guitars used by Masahiko Ohno are multi-neck guitars and harp guitars and take on extremely bizarre shapes, using unconventional body shapes, extra…

International misanthropy: a new cassette series from Hospital Productions in custom clamshell cases with interview inserts in each one.
Sex Is A Dark Friend
Tip! Ruthless, to the point, smut from this 6-way line up of immortal sin noise demigods Black Leather Jesus. Harkening back to a time when the outsiders spoke unspoken languages.
>(decrescendo) Final Chapter
Recorded 18/9/2019 iphone Mono Recording. No Cut No Overdub Edit. Recorded in a park before dawn in August 2019, it was released for the first time in December on a series of cassettes by fashion brand CAV EMPT and sold out immediately. In 2020, "Ugusudani Apocalypse" was released on LP by The Trilogy Tapes in the UK. In 2020, he self-released a cassette box with three versions recorded in the same park. In 2021, The Trilogy Tapes will release a second pressing of the album with a poster in a do…
Wormwood
In the early 2000s there were several great (now classic) Evenings releases on labels like Chondritic Sound, Ekhein, Monorail Trespassing and his own Tapeworm Tapes imprint...these have been my go-to late night listening for the past decade. With it's super muddy, snail-paced build ups of hazy lo-fi rumbling drones...it is quite literally the ideal noise for evening listening. He had a way of taking the sound and approach of early HNW and making it more hushed and mellow, as if you were hearing …
Dark Water Otter Whores
Tip! *In process of stocking* Reissue of the infamous collaboration between Canadian Harsh Noise titans The Rita, Taskmaster & Sick Buildings. Originally available as a single sided tape that was only the 15th AAD release at the time (2007), this was and still is an important document of "Harsh Noise Wall" in it's earlier more dynamic developmental stages.

Nero (Nylons on Canvas)
*In process of stocking* I've been waiting to do this one for awhile, after discovering the project through cult Swedish label Ominous Recordings. Anonymous Masturbaudioum has been making "perverse electronics" since 2010, always guided by an obsessive nylon fetish first and foremost, but also (on this release specifically) drawing inspiration from the work of painter Alberto Burri. The result is two heavy pieces of (almost) unchanging walls with excellent low end tone and crunching texture...a …
Erosion
**Limited Edition of 199 copies.** Formed in 1984, Solmania is a music experimental project of Masahiko ''Masaki'' Ohno and is one of the earliest amazing noise projects out of Japan. Pushing far beyond expectations of free improvisation, Masahiko weaves blistering passages that incorporate touchstones from progressive , punk, metal, noise, and drone, into more intricate movements of dystopian avant-gardism, culminating as a strikingly forward-thinking expanse of sonic creativity that pushing to…
Quietus
**Limited Edition of 199 copies. Fully remastered** Few projects can claim the seminal importance of the Incapacitants on worldwide noise scene. The group was formed in 1981 in Osaka, as the solo project of Toshiji Mikawa, a member of the amazing noise group Hijokaidan. Later Mikawa moved to Tokyo, where he joined with Fumio Kosakai, also an occasional member of Hijokaidan, as well as a former member of C.C.C.C., to make Incapacitants a duo. They've been making some of the most unremittingly ear…
Traumatic Amputations
Sixty minutes of crunching HNW by Fleshlicker, originally available as a self-released cassette back in Spring of 2021 with only 10 copies made...now available again as an extended reissue including updated art/layout as well as a remix by The Rita.
Pop Art
*In process of stocking* Two hours of delicately tuned crackle and hiss from this anonymous Andy Warhol admirer. Source sounds are taken from said artist interviews discussing the portraits referred to in the track titles. The dialogue is then processed beyond recognition and recorded straight to tape. Old and new. Familiar but different. A copy of a copy of a copy... I like to imagine Andy would totally approve of this project, seeing as he was super into taking other peoples work and transform…
Exclave
"Exclave" is the debut of NYC-based duo Cryocene, comprised of Stefan Aune (Kjostad) and Matt Boettke (Scant). Over the course of 5 tracks Cryocene weave together an ominous landscape of industrial dread. Bass drones and frigid synths are layered with waves of crumbling, crashing, shattering textures. Sometimes meditative, sometimes crushing, "Exclave" tunnels deep into the depths before ascending into the cold, clear atmosphere. This is the sound of freezing winds blowing across a ruined tundra…
Volume 1
New Forces is proud to present Richard Ramirez Volume 1, a 5-CD boxset compiling some of the best work by noise legend Richard Ramirez.
Overcome
**Edition of 199. Deluxe gatefold cover** Atrax Morgue has been one of the very few names to inherit the sound and annihilating effect of the power electronics school of the early 1980s. He remains faithful to visceral (anti)sounds, no structural enrichment, no attempt to improve: the skeleton of nothing, the absolute point of no return, the representation of non-being, the apology of learning, the most total desert. Overcome comes out for the first time on vinyl by Slaughter Productions in 1999…
