Half Mortal – Creature of Christ (HOS-843) Rhythm focused power electronics with a goregrind/death metal touch. Not as corny as one might think. The 2021 tape “Faith in hell” was a strong introduction to this style, however this release nails it to perfection. 17 different short tracks that maintai...

Gave Infinexhuma a listen after them being featured in the latest Noise Receptor journal, and damn that is some good material. Especially fond of the Unasan album. The album I return to the most must be Schloss Tegal's Black static transmission . It is a 60+ minute journey of sheer bleakness. Other ...

This is the fourth installment in New Approach Record’s thematic compilation series and it is by far the most ambitious one. With a grand total of 31 tracks from different artists, this 3 CD set contains material across the genres of power electronics, noise and post-industrial. Compilations have al...

For everyday listening I am using a Bose Acoustimass 5 series II 2.1 stereo setup which I inherited a few years ago. Else I would probably still use my thrifted no name standing speaker system. Tape player is a thrifted Onkyo Integra I got for a few Euros almost 15 years ago, still running smoothly ...

Time to catch up/revisit some older episodes then! Wish you a speedy recovery!
Excellent content.

Grunt – Hehku 2022 CD on Institute of Paraphilia Studies (FIN) Hehku is the latest full length offering of established Finnish project Grunt. Ten tracks of almost 40 minutes playtime containing for the most part instrumental noise. A mature and focused sound that kicks in from the first minute and n...

Screloma – Amplifying Hatred 2021 CD on Subliminal Propaganda (JPN) Six tracks of death industrial and heavy electronics. Besides the 2005 collaboration with Linekraft under the Mothra moniker I have not encountered this artists work before. This album is a bleak voyage, a prime example of the stren...

Absolute top one for me is Amplified Humans. The sound textures and howling feedback, metal bash mania, perfect length for the two sides/tracks as well. Close up is Baroque and Relentless Agony from the classic era. Pittsburgh PA somehow never really grew on me. I almost exclusively read negative co...

Epic games has 40% of its stock owned by Chinese entertainment/tech behemoth Tencent. This may not change anything about bandcamp, but I find it a very worrisome move. I have used bandcamp extensively for years to purchase music from artists and labels alike. Hopefully alternatives will show up. I h...

Flare Gun just got rereleased by an Australian label compiled with the 7" White Blues and some extra material
https://www.discogs.com/release/2079233 ... lare-Blues

That release is a good example of what could perhaps harshly be described as edition size abuse . This could easily have been a run of 500. Merzbow "transcends the underground" as it were, and is something that almost any old record store (even what's left of major chains) would stock (.....

VA - Kollektiv
Reissue of a 1985 tape compilation. Weird, murky and disturbing sounds.

Looking good, enjoyed the 7'' series so far. Will pick it up from OEC asap.

Recent Linekraft gig


Con-Dom ft. Herich & ACL

I don't know many of his releases, however I enjoyed the recent album on Tesco 'Casablanca Flamethrower' a lot. Very mixed industrial sounds and a strong narrative focus. I should probably dig deeper into his discography, the aesthetics are impressive. Have been trying to get into Rainforest Spiritu...

As goes with almost anything in this art space, an items limitation is fine if its at the artists discretion. As a long time fan and I guess semi-passionate collector, missing out on certain releases because they sell out very fast is just something I have accepted. That said I do check most dealers...

Macronympha - Amplified Humans the first one I heard, still resonates with me the most Mo*Te - Life in a peaceful new World love the subtle tones buried under the endless barrage of noise Merzbow - Age of 369 & CD1&3 of Metalvelodrome Hijokaidan - Windom Arv & Miljö - Orientering i denna...

New acquisitions I prefer to play loud on the stereo. On the commute I stick to my favorites. Headphones at night. I love to take deep dives into discographies from time to time, though there is indeed not enough time for the large part of the collection. Can't even imagine what it's like for a dist...

Erich 31 from Frankfurt Area Germany

Mostly an avid listener of noise/pe/industrial for the past fifteen years
I do collages and have been working on sound material for a while though nothing truly has manifested

Looking forward to the exchange on this board!
