Not saying this is a classic or defining compilation, but I just don't know where to put it. A pain in the ass to put together, but I' still very happy with how it turned out. Definitely a good snapshot of what was going on in Sweden in 2017, and with some long distance postcards from Current Wormin...

Well, there is so much of this that it's hard to know where to begin. Good examples above! And Testicle Hazard (Marhaug + Keränen) has maintained a jovial and cheerful air from the very beginning, in sound and even more so in imagery and themes. The 7" on Wendy, the CD on PACrec/Troniks and the...

That's an interesting thought, to deliberately overproduce. Perhaps even deliberately bereave the recording of all it's potential life. But then that would again be something else. Guess it boils down to whether or not one cares about the intent of the artist. It's a case to case thing for me, I thi...

As with most other genres, I enjoyed all of it, or at least all styles, initially. But over the years I've gravitated more and more to sparse(r) and less busy noise, with fewer layers (Zone Nord and Primitive Isolation Tactics, to name two very different, old and present artists which share that tra...

Plenty excellent Work/Death releases mentioned already, in fact every favorite of mine. So I'll just mention his equally brilliant side moniker Ordinary Machinery instead. Similar to what he did as Work/Death in many ways, but with OM the grain is more coarse and slightly less sanded down. More bolt...

Nice to see people have their very own take and associations on "domestic noise". Myself, I read it quite literally. The function - filling the room with sound or steering my reaction in s certain direction - isn't what defines it, but rather the sound sources and the manner and air in whi...

Well, there's Taskmaster (Kreimhild Anal Saxon, Swamp Lurker), Treriksröset + Sewer Election's Killing Sessions series, Wall Riders, LHD - Opaque, plenty of Kakerlak, Dog Holocaust, Privy Seals... So much great stuff from that era which I'd say is wall:ISH, yet endlessly dynamic, moving. Dig in!

INCAPACITANTS - Lon Guy CD (Harbinger Sound, 2009) Definitely one of the less mentioned and less referenced of their albums. I can see why, but then I CAN'T see why and it's unfair. I mean it's on Harbinger, which alone makes my knees weak and has me searching the room for a chair. Then there's the...

When I'm cooking I listen to either radio or Possessed - Beyond The Gates through the kitchen stereo. The only time I stream music is when I really need to hear a song immediately which I either don't have access to physically or which doesn't exist on record. For example a live take of a Merle Hagg...

JOE COLLEY - Acting As If 10" (Drone Records, 2022) Wide open, chilly nocturnal atmosphere. Nocturnal both as in lack of any living presence and as in when things are quiet, you'll realize after a while it really aint that quiet. The smallest sounds all become magnified, come into focus. I com...

TELECORPS CS and AMB / ABFALL split CS, both original MSNP, snapped from the leader. Thank god for screw shells - I fixed them and the both play well now. V/A - Crusade, original Broken Flag tape, was chewed by an old tape deck. Had to cut off circa 40 seconds right at the beginning of side A/end of...

Thanks for the flattering shoutout, and no thanks for making me blush on the bus to work. But damn, very good talk. The part about the urge to keep up with EVERYTHING in noise, as opposed to the more sane cherry picking fandom of other genres, is something I've thought about alot myself. When my pri...

Was there noise content online during the BBS era, pre-HTML? Not really pre-internet though, since I doubt Joie was surfing the ARPANET in the 60s or 70s. Long-distanced inter-networked bubbles of hyper-intense activity My older brother somehow managed to get online with his Amiga in the early 1990...

Oh yes. Thomas Bernard is my favorite author. He was a tough nut to crack when I first read him many years ago, but by now reading him feels like hugging a pillow, being so at home with his language. I'm usually a very slow reader who shy away from books that are just chapterless masses of text, but...

Definitely out there for Incaps, and if I was sat down for an invisible jukebox session and this was put on, I would probably never guess it was them. Love that they are still experimenting with their sound. Even the last track which is the harshest of the bunch, it's still fairly different. They a...

the duo he had with his friend Luke, Dogs In The Moonlight Not to "WELL ACTUALLY" you, but it's worth mentioning that the other half of Dogs was Chris Garant, who was behind Horrible Mess and the Urine Soaked Rag label years ago. Not sure how active he is these days, but he had a tape in ...

I have quite the noise collection, but only four Hospital releases. This is puzzling as I have nothing at all against the label. Must be tons of stuff I would enjoy. But three of the ones I have are absolutely stellar, I think. The Grey Wolves - Judgement CD, Roman Torment - Masculine Failure LP an...

Asking for (harsh) noise artists using scrap metal isn't too far from asking for a list of artists using DOD pedals. This list could be endless if you're generous. A list of noise artists who not once used scrap metal would be rather short though. I'm not deriding the OPs request - it's not a bad id...

So have many of us, I'd guess! We had a nightmare with the DAT master. For some reason it wouldn't work on two different DAT players. Then we were put in contact with Zwarre of Börft records (Swedish oldtimer) who made it work, but then the tape snapped. Thank god he could fix it and digitize it. So...

Liam/Lasso Wendy and the duo he had with his friend Luke, Dogs In The Moonlight, are two excellent newish projects, too. But I think Liam might have quit noise in favor of long walks with his bassett hound by now. Liam also ran a short lived label called Freedom Club - released his own stuff and som...

I doubt that there is such a summary of what's coming. WCN and New Forces have made "coming on label this year!" posts in the past, but I can't remember there being any specific dates. And alot of releases in noise are spontaneous: you get a couple of surprise masters from artists and chuc...

T.D. - Nothing New Under The Sun CS (The Gift Of Music) Absolutely. I only got to this last night but it was a standout release right out of the gate. Oh, yes. Going on my list as well. Agree on everything adult human wrote + how TD welds together absolute "trash" sounds via kitchen table...
