flush-faced flits of raw chiseled textures scoring deep into just the barest, faintest gasps at the most impermeable of interminable depths Howzabout a pretense at unpacking this, or to anyhoos flop out reference to comments submitted for the aforelinked, among them, I hesitate to call this harshno...

666 Volt Battery Noise - Audio Super-Predator Great harsh noise. I have a feeling that 666VBN is kind of forgotten? They shouldn't be! One of the few western artists who released an album on Vanilla Records. Gone but most assuredly not forgotten in these parts. Name seems to be popping up a bit mor...

Quite the coup for Satatuhatta someone said. Or might say someone whose hopes and prayers for more in the coup de grâce persuasion went full fla…flabbaberblabberbagasted when this wee spot o primitivo snuck in on the quiet. Quiet the operative word, or one of em. A sort o craftily threaded documenta...

As a maker, the more familiar tends to be subject to stricter sets of criteria, weighed in wider terms of what's been done, what hasn't, what could be better. (And such criteria would almost necessarily be among the least attractive, as a listener.) As a listener, similar gauges likely apply, but t...

With noise it's not unlikely that a person commenting on the shit is, has been, or has the intent to be, involved in making shit of their own. That definitely influences the listening choices and the criteria, in an inverse way, at least for me. As a maker, the more familiar tends to be subject to s...

I don't know, man. I thought I knew what this was about until those five (great!) youtubes were linked and now I'm confused as hell. Which is probably a good? thing. Mercury Hall's Living Table immediately leapt to mind, at least in terms of an attempt apparent to shuck certain perceptual grains int...

This one I LOVE, although I don't have the skills to open it - lol. This came before dremels were a thing, so maybe if I dremelled it and pried it open like a tin can with pliers I could get at the tape. but I'm happy with it as is. maybe there's a Bandcamp version of it online? k2 front [We Destro...

When noise is genre codified in such a way, the focus is entirely on its heaviness or extremity, but this should be a limitless and expansive form of sound that nearly defied typical language in its description. Good argument, old argument. One that's been going on for a while now. Syncs on a level...

Offhand I'd call the idea ludicrous but there again you'll often see people headbanging at noise shows. Heck I've done it myself, likely quite a lot in fact if maybe only somewhat conscious of the fact. Probably goes back to that cultural conditioning thing, monkey see monkey do, etc etc, but it'd ...

In November 1993, Iwasaki and his brothers partnered with Harman International Industries in a $55 million promotional deal that broke records for a celebrity endorsement (equivalent to $130,603,408 in 2021). The first Harman International Industries campaign, which ran in the US from 1993 to 1994 ...

Car/kitchen is for streaming through apple music, usually classic rock/prog/metal/punk, I can't listen to noise in the car or while cooking, sorry that's time for Judas Priest or Bob Seger or some shit like that. Car for sure noise all the way, totally worth souping up the system for it, but cookin...

I’ve had a couple favorite tapes get partially recorded over with silence when I accidentally had the deck in Rec mode when I hit play. Labels, PLEASE punch the tabs on your tapes so this can’t happen to us. Heh, I once knew an idiot, a true idiot (and I would know!), who in his more antisocial day...

Katsuhiko Yamashita's performance with dry ice and metal objects is something I will never get tired of and it has inspired me in so many ways to search for approaches that don't require electricity at all. That performances is awesome! He sorta reminds of Kiyoshi "white gloves" Mizutani,...

Immediately following the recent chat of it on the WCN Discord, my deck tried to eat the Energy Gradient tape on Cloister. After then eating a blank I was dubbing a new release on, the deck fully stopped any playing motion and had the awfulest time fast-forwarding and rewinding any tape. That's wha...

Okay, you've had your fun. Moderators, delete this thread.

I do have Genelecs tho, and blasting harsh noise loud from them is a totally different experience. I know what you mean. I once auditioned Incaps Quietus through the Genelecs and the shit did not once blast, was not at all harsh, nor even perceptibly loud, and barely qualified as noise. Did kick as...

This bit sounds great.

Hard to top I know but one can dream.

Didn’t know Hot Topic still existed. The last time I saw it used as a pejorative term for what young people were doing was at least 10 years ago. Longer still since a mention of nkondi. Didn't know hot topic existed at all, googled it still not really sure I get it, though I tend not to get things ...

number one turn off is hot topic mall noise. if you'd like me to explain I will but I think most people understand what I mean. Do go on. I've been checking this over and over because I really want this to be explained. I was thinking there might be an implied and perhaps semi-ironic critique of ce...

first time hearing savage gospel i think. Heh. Is that, like, a dis? That split is literally right at the top of the to-listen pile. As in the unopened buncha packages piles. But I'm sure it's in there. Better fucken be. no lol i just haven't heard any of their material before. i liked both sides o...

What, like nkondi?

(Just teasing. I like nkondi a lot).

I like em too, but that don't mean they don't deserve it!

Y'know, I completely fergott that this, this Burlington Ont based Number None , were a (and yet another long obscured) work of Mike McAvella (aka he of the plentifully scorched Scissor, earlier mentioned ). But it ( Surf Zombie Atrocities , circa 1995) certainly do share plenty of them plentofitous...
