BT.HN is Sam McKinlay (The Rita, Vice Wears Black Hose, Black To Comm) and Josh Rose (Sick Buildings). A deep, crushing soundwork fuelled by the duo's dark powers. Obscured vocal rituals and throbbing electronics push through shifting harsh noise walls. PLAY AS LOUD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Ltd x 500 copies in a card sleeve.
GOVERNMENT ALPHA - 'Venomous Cumulus Cloud' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
Long-running Japanese noise legend Government Alpha returns with a sci-fi odyssey, a cataclysmic adventure of volcanic blazes and time machine blasts. A six track, forty minute barrage of extremely loud electronics. "Simply put this is one hell of a ride, its prime noise on the same level as some of Merzbow's best work." (Musique Machine). Ltd x 1000 copies in a card sleeve.
LASSE MARHAUG - 'The Great Silence' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
"The Great Silence" is probably the best recording from Lasse Marhaug. As primitive as it gets, it is a devastatingly 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. It was recorded in Jørgen Træen's studio, and was produced by Golden Serenades (Træen + John Hegre). "Fearsomely relentless" (Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a card sleeve.
MANIA - 'Armed To The Teeth' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
Mania is Texan Keith Brewer (Taint, Sonic Sadist etc). Mania seems to be almost wholly focused on distilling violence, warfare, murder, and, more than anything else, the brutal power of firearms into blasts of twisted, ultraviolent Power Electronics. The sound isn't all that far removed from Taint, but on "Armed To The Teeth", Brewer lays a 35 minute track of scorching distortion, clanging metal percussion, harsh vocals that are treated with an overload of psychedelic effects and screeching, punishing waves of feedback that is then cut with interludes of recordings captured from weapons training presentations, shootings, and firing ranges. It's a weird mix of sounds, but if you've got a rotten tooth for this kind of grating speaker perversion, Mania brings it really harsh. File this next to TEF, The Rita, MSBR, Cherry Point, Macronympha, etc. Card sleeve.
OSCILLATING INNARDS - 'Nadir Emergence' CD (Troniks / Iatrogenesis Records)
"Nadir Emergence" is the second full-length from Oscillating Innards; a document of the recurring and parallel themes of artistic/romantic failure and the forces of insignificance and degradation. Encompassing and hybridising 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; the secret infidelity and defeat of timbre. Ltd x 1000 copies.
SEWER ELECTION - 'Sex / Death' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
Raw, textured grit amid turbine electronics and 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 and mangled detail but retain its gutter filth and power. Ltd x 1000 copies in a card sleeve.
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. 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". This release rescues all of the material from the extremely limited double 3" set released for their 2003 Japan tour. Packaged in a card sleeve.
THE RITA - 'The Voyage Of The Decima Mas' CD (Troniks)
From the mind behind BT.HN, Vice Wears Black Hose and Black To Comm comes a sea of obsessed deliberation and suffocating harsh noise waves. Sourced from live snorkeling murk, overdriven detail defines the unfathomable abyss. "The Voyage Of The Decima MAS" proves there is NO MORE HOPE.
