CUT HANDS - 'Afro Noise I' CD (Susan Lawly / Very Friendly)
13 tracks of startling afro noise that will blow your fucking mind...an unholy genre unto itself. A bludgeoning mix of machine and vaudou / Central African percussion plus other acoustic instruments combine to create one of the most physically intense musical experiences ever. The songs featured in VBS's films 'Vice Guide To Liberia' and 'Mandingo'. Since 2007's Whitehouse album Racket, and after his original 'Afro Noise' mix became one of the most downloaded experimental mixes ever made, William Bennett's remarkable Cut Hands album has seen 4 long years of meticulously obsessive studio work in the making, notably deploying his special collection of Congolese and Ghanaian percussion instruments. Mastered by Denis Blackham. Comes with a 16-page booklet. Take our word for it, this is one of the best releases of 2011!

MERZBOW - 'Cycle' CD (Very Friendly)
Merzbow crafts sound, creating terrifying atmospheres and emotionally heavy soundscapes. Musically, the album borders on the most abusive power noise with a semblance of percussive structure. These rhythms keep this album from falling into an abyss of intolerable dissonance. Part one, at almost 30 minutes in length, will test not only your will-power, but your speakers as well. Part two is 40 minutes of shifting, throbbing noise, totally free of melody and structure Recommended for headphone listening. Digipak.

MERZBOW - 'Metamorphism' CD (Very Friendly)
"Metamorphism" is a powerfully emotional, violently painful, and strangely ambient work - ungodly deep and loud pulses, around which is wrapped all sorts of whistling and buzzing. There is also abstract guitar strumming throughout chaotic sheets of static and ear-splitting metallic scrapes overwhelming the carefully constructed rhythm. Pocket-friendly reissue of the legendary marble box, in a slimline jewel case. Ltd x 500.

WHITEHOUSE - 'Erector' LP (Very Friendly)
Originally recorded in 1980, 'Erector' was harsher and less 'industrial' sounding than the first two albums and arguably became the seminal influence, along with 'The 150 Murderous Passions' LP, for the subsequent wave in the mid / late 80s of noise projects (in particular Japanese). Also featured for the first time in vinyl format is the originally banned cover art by Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound). Heavy weight vinyl in a glossy sleeve.
