mp3: Live at CCA, San Francisco Part 1 (08:03, 9.22mb)

Cinder block snakes pummeling through intricately woven nests, kneading maliciously at the middle, trying relentlessly & desperately to break through. A silver haired piper tries calling his snakes back home, stretches his vocal chords deep & wide but only whispers trickle out. They move too fast for him to catch. He closes his eyes tightly and follows them out & away, admiring their persistance & brilliant navigation with an envious heart. Their scales push outward and gash the softness open leaving shards and soggy ash in a twisting tail behind them. You can hear meat tearing in waves of coarse & uneven static, swelling & expanding as if they carve a new base, a fresh home. They bury their coiled bodies deep inside, knotting tails & heads into electric branches, you can hear the branches spitting up electricity and the way their fire crackles first and thunders immediately after. He circles the landscape like a madman trying to find the slithering escape artists that have left him behind. Their buzzing rattles growing larger & larger serve as his compass & guide. He picks up and fondles the skin they shed & tease him with. He can hear them digging, getting further & further inside, spilling wildfire in the folds & flesh. The end is here and the sounds they make reflect it, a blister covered whistling tone thins itself into nothing & disappears. They are lost and so is he...

Black Sand Desert is the bleak harsh noise sideproject from Greh (Hive Mind / Chondritic Sound) Holger.

mp3: The Cleansing (04:45, 4.35mb)

A re-issue CD of quite possibly the most crumbled and crushed out harsh noise release to date. Originally released in Italy by Old Europa Café in 1995, “Low-Fi Power Carnage” was an excellent example of imported noise from the Italian harsh noise master Gabriele Giuliani. At a time when the cassette format was king and Japanese noise was sometimes too high range and polished causing Americanoise to crush the genre with acts such as Skin Crime and Macronympha, Dead Body Love was also around to deliver the most crusted and rumbling of the contemporary harsh noise acts. “Low-Fi Power Carnage” is an amazing document of raw and crunched harsh noise range and focus as it pummels over its four different tracks; each their own monster in strategy and manipulation. Giuliani has an uncanny ability to investigate movement within the rock bed of sound, sometimes picking apart the tones and sources with deconstruction techniques that range from ‘static drone’ to the brutal and abrasive. Thus, this release has something for every harsh head as it covers numerous areas of violence, abstraction, and even an occasional heavy driving, throbbing force that brings to mind early ‘Industrial’ (i.e. Broken Flag). I am honoured to be able to help with this re-issue as I can safely say it is my favourite noise release of all time and was the defining release that made me finally decide to make harsh noise the primary focus of my life. Painstakingly re-mastered to duplicate the original cassette experience right down to the tension-filled extended breaks between the tracks. To celebrate this release, each CD comes with an 11” x 17” glossy offset printed and folded DEAD BODY LOVE poster to hang on your wall. - Sam McKinlay (The Rita)

Live footage of Deep Jew on tour in support of this record can be seen HERE.

DEVILLOCK: It's all in stop motion. It's all real. Up, out from under all places molded and GUNKED. Slithering spool tapes sliding like thin brown snakes under, amongst, and finally overtop and around. They overtake the crumbling corpsed-up organ grinder. He, with his grin full of rot and fingers of stank, is ever so pleased to allow the decayed magnetics to engulf his skeletal frame, it is how his power is attained (maintained). Only when wrapped tightly and over his entire torso and head (a tape mummy!) will he begin to play. Quietly at first, as if from a distance - but he is there, RIGHT THERE GODDAMIT - and then the groan and the moaning howl and the static insects all begin to draw near, an orchestra of loneliness. Can you still feel your legs? As your head is slowly filled with ants, you are posed a question: "What do you make?" he is asking. "What do you make... of THESE GRAVES?"

DEVILLOCK is Justin Chris Meyers on organ, tapes, and electronics. Justin also runs the record and tape label Tone Filth and has other additional musical projects including Panther Skull. Matthew St. Germain (Freedom From record label) plays bass on the first track of These Graves. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D Yellow Swans).

"Noise as it's supposed to be: menacing, not by the harshness of it's sound, but by the content of what its sound has to offer." - Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

Heavy-handed and heavy-footed industrial noise by all accounts. from the blackened minds of Greh (Hive Mind, Chondritic Sound) and Mike Connelly (Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, Gods of Tundra).

mp3: Tomorrow No One Will Be Safe (excerpt) (04:13, 3.87mb)

The two live performances on this disc portray the sound of a microphone passing through antimatter - the haunting atmosphere of a slow drone, a glimpse of captured transmissions, the grinding crackle and crunch of a machine eating itself alive only to finally collapse in a sea of manipulated feedback ripe with wooden electronics running low on batteries. Recorded in 1995 and 1998, these two pieces feature the powerhouse line-up of Roel Meelkop, Peter Duimelinks & Frans de Waard.

Slaughter Hotel / Strip Nude For Your Killer / The Embalmber / Virgin Of Nuremberg.
Co-Produced by Sinister Sam.

Since 1994, Alan Bloor (Knurl) has obsessively explored the sound of distorted amplified metal. On Scyamine, he creates a scrapyard inferno of roaring feedback & blown speakers, live & raw, produced from found stainless steel.

Relentlessly rushing forward, constantly moving through a maze of grinding scrapes and crashes, Knurl reaffirms his position as the Canadian king of harsh noise.

mp3: excerpt (05:58, 5.46mb)

The Great Silence is probably the BEST recording I have ever heard from Lasse. It was recorded in Jørgen Træen's (professional) studio, and it's produced by Golden Serenades (Træen + John Hegre)... While Lasse himself has said that the disc is "as primitive as it gets", I wouldn't really agree... What it is, is a devastatingly PURE display of the finest kind of harsh noise, and yet another in the long line of records showing Marhaug's incredible feeling for vital and living noise. Highest recommendation for this one... fucking ESSENTIAL!

Molded and refined throughout 2007 and 2008, Nadir Emergence is the first official CD and second full-length of Oscillating Innards; a document of the recurring and parallel themes of artistic/romantic failure and the forces of insignificance and degradation. Encompassing and hybridizing elements of electroacoustic harsh noise, deliberate tonal studies, atmospheric drone collage and severe power electronics, Nadir Emergence is a dense and breathing environment of evocative sound and lyrics, steeped in continually growing and failing tones, recurring and degrading melody, and vehement sentiment. This is deeply personal music of smoldering roots and crumbling achievement.

Sickness crafts his own brand of technical harsh, detail oriented blasts that cut and shatter. Movement, complexity, intensity; the defining elements of the Sickness sound. Includes a cover of the classic Slogun track "Kill to Forget".

Long awaited new full length cd (full title = Jardin du sommeil. Chant d'amour sur la nuit grandissante.) from Parisian harsh noise artist Tourette (Benjamin Clement). Three extremely well structured compositions of violently rapid, sharp cut-up electronic and junk metal tones contrasting and melding beautifully with darkly passionate, subdued atmospheres. An epic achievement of incredibly detailed and moving harsh noise. Co-released with Antropofago Ateo and Iatrogenesis Records.

Teenage Hallucination is a compendium of Wiese's initial recordings as a teenager to his seminal early vinyl appearances. From pure analog bedroom havoc to intense cut-up harsh noise blasts, Wiese steadily developed his highly personal and specific style of extreme music while trying to survive the St. Louis experience.

52 tracks in nearly 80 minutes of the best material from his Catwoman 7", split LP with The Haters, split 5" with Panicsville, collaborative tracks with GX Jupitter-Larsen (The Haters) and Corydon Ronnau (Sissy Spacek), and featuring many completely unreleased and unheard tracks of isolated midwest basement obscurity.

Full liner notes by T.Mikawa (Incapacitants/ Hijokaidan) and Seymour Glass (Bananafish).

"This is the missing diamond in his career, and worthwhile to any true fan."

Live at Camp Blood, a psychic seance of toxic neon junk, collaborative retch and wrangle. The is the new sound of vomit crunk, a heaving mess of strangled feedback & black mood confusion, death grasp electronics, mangled guitar and mutilated voices congealing into an unpleasant future.

Just who could have survived and what was left of them? NO ONE / NOTHING.

Mastered by Pete Swanson to be as uncomfortable as possible.

"The most arresting and peaceful space ever created under the name of noise."
