Asked about that new project, apparently it used to be under Hovering but I’m not familiar with that either. Also got linked to this spreadsheet of Irish noise: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... M/htmlview#

I’ll come with you!

Beyond the name and it being a “debut set of harsh noise soundscapes”, I know zero about the project. I’ll find out more. Dave Krim Kram flew over for a show I played on Sunday (for Star, not me) and said that there’s a few places you could play in Ireland as long as you were ok with playing to abou...

Yeah, my post definitely went down the wide umbrella of noise than specifically harsh noise. There’s a new promotions group in Belfast that have their first show coming up soon, and that’s being opened by a project called Optic Chain, debut show apparently, so looks like there’s a new harsh project ...

Luxury Mollusc and Dressing are what springs to mind. Jamie Grimes has done numerous noise things, most recent is Otterans but that’s more ambient/guitar based soundscapes. Wölfbait, Drainland and Unyielding Love for Irish bands incorporating a lot of noise into their sound (only the last one of the...

Four new tapes out today on Outsider Art. Availible individually or as a full batch at a reduced price: OA093: Polexia! - A Burial, A Resurrection “A Burial, A Resurrection” is the second release from Liverpool based Polexia!, the follow up to “Immolation” on SPINE Records in 2021. Following a line ...

Put two new releases out on Outsider Art last week, one harsher, one more ambient: OA091: Playworker - Hyper Aware C20 featuring two side long tracks. Dark atmospheric harsh noise. Made from scrap metal, effects and ill feelings. Mastered by Foul Prey. PURCHASE: https://outsiderart.bigcartel.com/pro...

Strangled Cop is vegan straight edge PE, that’s definitely got animal rights stuff in it.

Consuming Death was the very first tape I did as Knifed, very surprised to see that remembered/mentioned!

Le Pub in Newport is a great venue, the PA is huge, one of my favourite I’ve ever played through, if there’s anything of interest to you happening there whilst you’re in Wales it’d probably be worth checking out. If weird shitty seaside towns are your thing (they’re certainly mine), Barry Island is ...

Knifedoutofexistence has bunch of lives dates coming up starting one week today, including short tours with Secret Boyfriend & Permanent and Fleshlicker & Viimeinen, as well as the project's first ever shows in Iceland. Always after more shows, so if anyone is interested in setting something...

I haven’t heard any of these yet, but I can say that Andy Blackcloudsummoner is one of the loveliest people I know and I’m stoked to see someone outside the U.K. putting their material out!

My good friend Mike (Foul Prey, Fleshlicker) has put together this benefit compilation that features tracks from myself and some of the best noise artists active in the U.K. right now. Copies running low already from what I hear. More info below, get yours here: https://foulprey.bandcamp.com/album/t...

I absolutely second how good A Culture Of Monsters and The Red List is. ACOM might actually be my favourite MITB/BN record overall. I remember when a track from one of them got posted on MySpace and losing my mind over it and getting so excited to hear more MITB style BN. The fact I first heard that...

One of my old bands had two basses at our last show (not that we knew it was our last show at the time), but only because I accidentally picked my bass up instead of my guitar.

The shows I’m doing are in Brighton and Reading so both would have been pretty convenient from those places! Bad timing. I’ll pop anything else I hear about on here. Scotland is great, my partner is currently visiting Edinburgh and I’m getting very jealous seeing the pictures and hearing about it al...

Where in the U.K. are you going to be? Pressing Matters in Hastings is co-run by Steve that used to do Harbinger, there was some cool noise stuff in there the one time I’ve visited so far, and a lot of it reasonably priced. I’m putting on a show a few days before you get here, and playing another th...

TWO NEW RELEASES OUT TODAY ON OUTSIDER ART: OA088: Ethan McCarthy - Purple Pain https://i.imgur.com/frGqjl1.jpg Purple Pain is a single, half hour long movement from Ethan McCarthy (Many Blessings, Primitive Man). An encompassing and engaging piece, shifting from gentle tranquility to abrasive textu...

Clive Henry playing a sat down set at a show I did for him years ago in Bournemouth was probably the most uncomfortable set I’ve ever seen. Much more unsettling than anyone I’ve had yelling in my face and pushing people around. Rummaging in a little cardboard box of electronics on his lap, hissing a...

Would be attending this in a heartbeat if I wasn’t on the wrong side of the world. Hope it goes great!

Distro update: Recently received the Monorail Trespassing represses plus the excellent new Vasculae CD: Vasculae - Broken Lust CD Shredded Nerve - Bleeding From The Head CS Scald Hymn - Balming Mechanism CS Jackson-Pratt - Skullcutter Herringbone CS Jackson-Pratt - Semi Good Lookin' CS Scant - Estra...

I’m a true idiot when it comes to this shit and have very little grasp on it, I wish I had a little more of a clue. I record from my line-out of my mixer, using a 1/8th inch straight into my computer’s audio-input jack. Record everything, layer everything and etc in audacity. Very little “after eff...

In my late teens, sludge made up a good chunk of my listening. Back just before I left my home town it seemed that Doom shows were pretty much all that was happening in terms of heavy music shows, and six band doom bills were not the one. Became a bit disillusioned after having seen a hundred Conan ...

Slow Murder is a project I’ve played with loads and put a couple of tapes out for. A very dear, and very queer, friend of mine:
https://slowmurder.bandcamp.com/

Purging Light - Endlessness Of Desire https://purginglight.bandcamp.com/album/endlessness-of-desire I know this tape inside out. I’ve listened to it so many times over the years. Just great raw noise and scathing vocals. I’ve not really seen them mentioned outside of the few Dutch people who knew t...
