Re: Mysterious/Anonymous Projects

Tongue Knax/Mordant Karma/etc. from the Lust Vessel camp. Always assumed it is just one person behind the flagship projects. Amazing stuff.

Re: True Crime Electronics (Slogun, Deathpile, Fistfuck etc.)

I love the boxed set dearly. I am really, really bad about selling/giving away stuff from my collection but this one is a lifer.

Re: Sojial Meejia, goodbye

it does kind of irritate me that shows are pretty much exclusively promoted on Instagram. I think this is changing (albeit very slowly), or at least there is enough shared sentiment that people are more than ready for alternatives to this. Even the new/younger generations are steering clear from th...

Re: Sojial Meejia, goodbye

I deleted my Facebook account over 10 years ago and deleted my Instagram about a year ago. I can't deal with having so much space in my head taken up by advertisements, outrage memes, thirst traps, and "influencers". If you can compartmentalize it, great, but I am not able to do that. I do...

How has Shredded Nerve not been mentioned? I know he has a new album out, but this one in particular is a favorite:

Re: What is your criteria for how you decide if you like noise?

As with most other genres, I enjoyed all of it, or at least all styles, initially. But over the years I've gravitated more and more to sparse(r) and less busy noise, with fewer layers (Zone Nord and Primitive Isolation Tactics, to name two very different, old and present artists which share that tr...

Well, there's Taskmaster (Kreimhild Anal Saxon, Swamp Lurker), Treriksröset + Sewer Election's Killing Sessions series, Wall Riders, LHD - Opaque, plenty of Kakerlak, Dog Holocaust, Privy Seals... So much great stuff from that era which I'd say is wall:ISH, yet endlessly dynamic, moving. Dig in! Th...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

Thank you! You must have a long memory! it's a Mackie 1202 I got off of eBay. I bought one when they came out, and ran it into the ground. that took about 20 years, but whatever. so I replaced it with the same model. I'm sure they're on reverb.com as well for about $100. mine is the old preamps (no...

Great thread - it's generated a lot of ideas. So many pieces of gear that seem common but I never knew existed as well. My main rig is an SM57 mic plugged into small mixer with a two aux sends that go to a DOD Death Metal and a DOD Grunge. got them new 20+ years ago. add a pile of scrap metal and I...

Re: Prurient thread

I have a love/hate relationship with Prurient and Hospital Prod. but the more sketchbook-type releases that live on the very abstract edge of PE/Industrial are really something special. Great summary. Agree on some of those other titles you cited. I'd also say Point and Void captures a lot of this ...

Re: Time signatures in noise

Also, OP, I hope I don't sound like I am annoyed with you for starting this topic. This is literally the first time I have ever posted anything negative on an online forum in my life so it is super exciting. AND I think stuff like this is worth discussing, even if I strongly disagree with your friend.

Thanks for the flattering shoutout, and no thanks for making me blush on the bus to work. But damn, very good talk.

Scarcity is only "manufactured" by disclosing the quantity produced! ;) I specifically opt not to disclose quantities anymore, partly because I don't want to "manufacture" any kind of hype via scarcity, but also because I'm really fucking lazy. So it frees me from having to over...

Re: Recording, Mixing, and Mastering

The medium to which you are recording has a lot to do with it. When recording digital, the advice I was given by an artist whom I have incredible respect for (and who has done a shit ton of mastering) is to keep peaks below -6dbs. This is so that when you equalize and master you have lots of headro...
