Scream & Writhe Forum

I really enjoy listening to HNW but over the years I’ve noticed that a majority of the stuff I come across is blown out, red-lined, low-end rumblewalls with little to no dynamic range. I’ve found that I personally prefer the more quiet side of HNW, or at least walls that aren’t purely *that* distinc...

My entire social circle is pretty much formed of other music enthusiasts and musicians, I’ve been playing in bands since the age of 12 and have had the pleasure of getting to know likeminded people all over Finland (and the rest of the world) through playing and attending shows and reaching out to o...

holy shit!

Looking forward to this!!

Anyone know any EU-based distributors that have a large arsenal of noise / experimental t-shirts/longsleeves/hoodies etc? (Doesn’t necessarily have to be located in the EU as long as shipping to Finland isn’t outrageously expensive, haha) what exactly are you after? I've amassed plenty of leftover ...

Been a while since I listened to my actual tapes since I’ve been really busy with work and rehearsing with my bands for upcoming shows, today I had the chance to just sit and enjoy some beers with some sweet tapes. Here’s what I’ve been listening to: Scald Hymn - Balming Mechanism (Monorail Trespass...

- Animal rights & anti-speciesist noise Aside from Merzbow, who would you suggest for this? (I like this theme too!) Sorry for the late answer haha, I really don’t know a lot of projects with themes surrounding animal rights, aside from Merzbow the ones that come to mind are POTR which was a pr...

- HNW that evolves slightly over the course of the track - Orchestral music used as a source or element in the noise - Big, unconventional ”fuck you”-packaging with more inserts than tracks on the album - Animal rights & anti-speciesist noise - Active stereo field - Gloomy and melancholic drones

Haha yess!! Does anyone really enjoy those goofy ass bleeps and bloops?

Positively surprised with the amount of Souls-appreciation here! DS1 is def one of my all time favorite games, sharing a spot with Silent Hill 2, the atmosphere and ambience of SH2 is some of the best I’ve ever experienced in a video game. Soundtrack is unbelievable too, Akira Yamaoka is a genius.

I’ve been listening to a lot of skramz Daitro - Laisser Vivre les Squelettes Amazing French skramz / post rock they were the complete opposite of what that term represents and just a punk band with a mix of influences far broader than the average screamo band. I totally agree and didn’t mean to put...

lots of good stuff there but man i really hate the therm skramz.

hahah same here, i hate using it but calling it screamo is a certified way to get misinterpreted

Same, I’m not too fond of the wall noise genre, but ’penis torture chamber’ is one that I enjoy very much

Admiral Angry - Buster One of my favorite bands / albums of all time, a ridiculously heavy blend of metalcore and sludge metal, incredibly ahead of their time This album fucking whips. I should jam it again soon. Great playlist! Hell yeah! They’re definitely too underrated, Black Sheep Wall is also...

Gaza - No Absolutes in Human Suffering Really creative blend of mathcore, sludge metal and post-rock Good album. Saw them once in Turku 10+ years ago. There was Haust, The Kandidate, Gaza and Rotten Sound playing. To me Gaza was easily the best for that night. No way! Rotten Sound’s guitarist used ...

I’ve been listening to a lot of skramz and chaotic hardcore/ mathcore lately, here’s what I’ve been spinning today: Alas - Alas EP Best Finnish skramz band, I’m going on tour with them this spring with my own skramz band Claire Voyancé The Locust - Safety Second, Body Last Incredibly creative and di...

Prurient is amazing. Troubled Sleep is definitely one of my favorites too, those classical source sounds on Bolt and the title track are incredible.

I used to drink alot, do ecstasy, speed and benzos in my teenage years but I stopped when I had a medical emergency and they were making my already frail mental health crumble to the point of a breakdown. These days I’m more sober curious, I still drink and vaporize bud but I strive to lead on a sob...

hah, which tape has this

Not a tape but Prurient’s ’Mater Dolorosa’ has this exact problem hahahah

I loved this one. I’m a sucker for tape-based noise and this one really scratched that itch! Def could be a lot more tape-saturated, in my opinion ;)

I will say this though, by no means am I implying that these projects don’t bring anything to the table, those who enjoy that edgy style will always want to hear more. Me, personally I’d much rather hear an album about these topics made by someone who is / was affected by sexism, racism, rape etc. a...

Some very interesting and true points being brought up in this topic. I’m glad I’m not the only one who cringes at the edgy and exploitative side of modern noise / pe. There are many amazing albums that have been made about these taboo topics but they were made over 20 years ago and these topics can...

Damn, this is something that I’ve been wondering about alot too, I’ve been using a full stack + PA for my sessions and I’ve been really worrying about feeding the red hot- line level signal into my solid state head, does connecting the mixer into the FX loop input (skipping the preamp) really make i...

Juuso from Finland, I make noise as Touch Starved, relatively new to making noise though I’ve been listening to noise/pe for a very long time. I also play in numerous punk / metal bands in Finland, to name a few; Kuvotus, Instant, Petturi, Claire Voyancé. Really excited to chat with all of you 🙌
