Scream & Writhe Forum

Last month I happened to find two unopened Pierpaolo Zoppo albums in record store clearance racks: MO - Raising Vapours CD on Bloodlust for $3 in Ottawa, and Lyoto Music LP on Urashima for $15 in Toronto. (PS- What is the name "Lyoto Music" likely a reference to?)

Seconding this recognition of Scott!

I was also going to a lot of Montreal noise shows in the early 2010s (though living in Ottawa). Casa is the main venue that I remember, but maybe it was sometimes something else. Probably my favourite local noise-ish project in that scene was S/V\R aka Sévère– are they still active? I remember Dream...

Sort of a catch all thread, I recently read about one called Extreme Music by Michael Tau - it's been out since last year and I haven't heard anyone anywhere talk about it at all so I wanted to see if anyone had read it. It's one of several books that I'm working my way through right now. Been mean...

Pharmakon has consistently interesting cover photography, though I'm not sure about the Sacred Bones standard of putting so much text on them (I guess they weren't either, since it changes halfway through the discography).

Some noise vinyl played tonight:

The Vomit Arsonist – There Is No Future I Want To Be A Part Of
Andrew Rudin – Tragoedia
Anenzephalia – Kaltwelt
Catharsist – The Garden Of Agonizing Delights

Anyone else enjoy SKRIM?

I'm definitely in the habit of buying more records and CDs (not just noise/PE/industrial, but a variety of genres) than I get around to listening to. Collecting is fun/addictive, there's lots of interesting stuff that can still be picked up pretty cheap at thrift shops, but I'm also trying to finall...

I don't even know enough to make noise.

I saw them play here a few days ago, they were great!

I saw Ceremonial Bloodbath play a house show last night. Talked to Graham a bit about noise (maybe he's also on here?).

Available from S&W soon?

Saw the poster for Toronto Noise Fest II, is that happening on June 8 or August 6?

Are there good examples of noise/PE projects that are particularly provocative/controversial/uncomfortable precisely because the questionable content is decidedly not "extreme," so audiences are denied an easy decision to condemn, or ignore, or hide it? And I don't mean the politically amb...

Got the new Himukalt CD from S&W today!

I went up a shirt size during the pandemic, so the only noise shirt I currently have in rotation is a Vomit Arsonist one I bought online. I have others that I used to wear (Brighter Death Now, Nyodene D, Pharmakon, Prurient...).

I bought Sounds of New Music at a local record store yesterday. There is a Noisextra episode about it: https://www.noisextra.com/2020/06/17/va ... new-music/

I don't have a project, but I'm in Ottawa.

You're the curator, but if you ever decide to carry the "beat shit" releases on Phage Tapes, I'll sometimes buy them.

I came to it from being a huge fan of stuff like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Wax Trax style Industrial. So I was curious about the roots of Industrial and I found out about TG, SPK, the Cabs, etc. Similar to my story, though for me it was in the mid-late 2000s. I was definitely exploring noise a...

Who do you recommend for this?

Brighter Death Now – All Too Bad - Bad To All

I suppose any of the USA Throbbing Gristle shows in 2009. I just assumed they'd have to come to Canada eventually. :(

Frankly I think a lot of guys use right wing imagery because they want to have a noise project, don't have anything really provocative to say but want to get a rise out of people. I think that crowd does generally (but not always) lean right and racist but there's a spectrum of those beliefs and so...
