New compositions by a Warsaw duo and a Japanese surgeon are presented on this 50-minute album. MAAAA buzzes using the Korg MS-20 and Polivoks synthesizers, and they clink damaging iron pieces and coil springs. Dr. Kusafuka (K2) handles his stylus like a scalpel. Having decided not to employ metal garbage, he turns to extensive use of his analogue synth, creating loud and sharp pieces of work reminiscent of a surgical knife cutting flesh. All in all, be prepared for the heavy analogue modulations, drilling feedback, rich bass, pulsations, biting high frequencies and the hazardous loudness of the record. Extreme Harsh Noise! Ltd x 300 copies in a card slip.

MAAAA - 'Decay And Demoralization' CD (Mind Flare Media)
"Decay and Demoralization" comes at you with 6 tracks well over 60 minutes in length. This stuff is harsh and without a doubt the most extreme band coming out of Poland's underground today. "Decay and Demoralization" includes tons of Power Electronics and bizarre recordings that create an odd, otherworldly atmosphere stuck in a white noise frenzy. Banging metal, shrieking, dying, the cover of this album should say it all. These guys like to take the energy of punk rock and fuse it with noise, creating a sound all their own. An excellent showcase of what's to come. Extreme harsh analogue noise! Ltd x 500 copies.

The mythical coffee-grinder of Kalevala like mighty annihilator rises from the bottom of the sea and grinds all this ugly world of evil and progress down. "Everything crashes, at out place everything crashes, here, now and then" - as one unknown lady said. And she was right, "Sampo Distortion" comes to you! Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak with booklet.
