Black Sand Desert - Choking on Grave Soil CD
PACrec119  THE END IS HERE

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.

"This is sinus-cleaning stuff, blinding walls of sonic filth the way good noise should be."

Dead Body Love - Low-Fi Power Carnage CD
PACrec136  RECOMMENDED REISSUE

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)

Devillock - These Graves CD
PACrec116  DEEP TAPE FOG

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

Kapotte Muziek - Praag/Rotterdam CD
PACrec114  NEARLY 80 MINUTES OF DEEP SOUND

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.

Lasse Marhaug - The Great Silence CD
PACrec130  THE NORWEGIAN CLASSIC

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!
-- Tommy Carlsson (Treriksröset / Segerhuva)

Oscillating Innards - Nadir Emergence CD
TRO-291  INTROSPECTION THROUGH NOISE

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.

"This is an excellent recording, very well thought-out and executed." - Blood Ties WebZine

Skin Game collects the sounds of alcohol rage, overloaded mixers, sexual fetish and misplaced aggression, remastered tracks from their early Black Spring and Bewilderment cassettes and new shots of filth & fury. Turbulent, rough, violent. 7 tracks, 35 minutes. Mastered loud by Thomas Garrison.

"This is the sound of real old-school monolithic power electronics, and it crushes...." - Dead Angel

mp3: track 6 (05:04, 4.65mb)

 

Damion Romero - Negative CD
PACrec125  DEEP FREQUENCY FOR DARK DAYS

Wavering tonal drone & feedback shift slowly through the Los Angeles wasteland. Intense & focused, incorporating the haze & smog of the LA skyline, Damion Romero presents his bleakest recording to date. Active since the early '90s with his influential projects Speculum Fight and Slug, Romero has learned to sculpt minimal bass frequencies to fill rooms, crack walls, and shatter skulls.

"Visceral, almost entirely beyond language." - Tiny Mix Tapes

Sewer Election - Sex / Death CD
PACrec126  HAIL THE SWEDISH SUPREMACY

Raw, textured grit amid turbine electronics & harsh metalic hell, Sex / Death is devastating noise decadence from Sweden's Dan Johansson. Reissue of the speaker shredding two tape set originally released on his own Harsh Head Rituals label, the wreckage has now been remastered to appreciate every crunch & mangled detail but retain its gutter filth & power.

"Artist most likely to restore harshhead credibility to Sweden" - Jason Soddy / T.A.D.M.

mp3: track 3 (excerpt) (05:00, 4.58mb)

 

Mike Shiflet - Ichinomiya 5.3.6 CD
TRO-232  BEAUTY AND ISOLATION

This album isn't a dedication to Mike Shiflet's home in rural Japan but rather an attempt to replicate the mindset the village inspires and put the listener in the same headspace. Please listen to the disc in its entirety. Turn everything else off and play loud.

"The effect is excellent and oddly moving." - Brian Olewnick, Bagatellen

"superlative, evocative work calling to mind eliane radigue’s extended stasis and the delicate rumble/whine of any number of classic era live-electronic improvisors..." - Mimaroglu

Sickness / Slogun -
The Scars of Happiness / Always Numb CD

PACrec111  HARSH ELECTRONIC PURITY & TRUE CRIME ELECTRONICS

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".

From the gutters of New York City, Slogun is a punch in the gut, a kick in the face to the power electronics community.  Singularly obsessed, Slogun IS true crime, violent and dirty. Constant abuse, shouted vocals, searing sound.

This release rescues all of the material from the extremely limited double 3" cdr set released for their 2003 Japan tour. Packaged in PACrec-style cd wallet with four panel insert.

mp3: Sickness - My Coma (06:06, 6.97mb)

SIXES - Cursed Beast CD
TRO-248  DARK, HATEFUL AND FULL OF DISGUST

Heavy rhythmic manipulations, guitar skrees, haunted vocals, drones and burly noise, all processed and mixed in a foul pit of hate. Cursed Beast was the product of two years (2002-2003) of recording work by Ryan (Deathroes, Crash Worship) Jencks, faced with nothing but recording problems and broken tooth nightmares, anger and hatred seething into a gnarled account of his time and frustrations, the Cursed Beast. HIDE YOUR DAUGHTERS.

16 Bitch Pile-Up - Bury Me Deep CD
TRO250  A BEAUTIFUL STORY WELL TOLD

The California dreams that led to death... There's twists, bends, curves, scrapes, and bumps. The atmosphere was simply frustrating and depressing - good! The ending is a shocker of sorts, each track is an unpredictable event that makes your heart beat with more than just suspense, but pure emotion - yes, definitely emotion. I even cried. Twice.

16 Bitch Pile-Up are a fierce 3 piece squall of Heartland (now California) electronics, thick moans, and scraped effects. Having previously performed at such noteworthy festivals as All Tomorrow's Parties, No Fun and Wooden Octopus Skull, 16BPU here presents their first widely available cd. Full color (+ naughty) fold out cover artwork in jewelcase. Limited edition of 1,000.

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.
