My bad, I only had eyes for the initial part of the post. Everything Siikala has done (as far as I could see) is great to me.

QuoteToo bad possibly the best interview with him, is in Finnish, in few hours long podcast interview by Sarvilevyt - meaning myself of course, hah.. When discussing his art, background and life in general, in finnish, it gives a lot of information you can't really find anywhere else.

Are there any chances that one day there might be a transcription of this interview available for non-Finnish fanatics ? I guess it's a lot to ask, but it would definitely be easier to translate to English after all.

In the last two weeks we received a lot of inquiries via eMail, phone or social media regarding the upcoming Rituals Over Limburg III festival. Please understand that we had to overview the whole situation first and sort, even get clear consciousness for what was going on in the night of 26th to 27th december 2024. After several phone calls and communication with the Oefenbunker, now we are ready to give a clear statement/information. For all of you, who did not hear already about the horrible happening of that night, here we go...

The Oefenbunker is/was for more than 41 years a location for culture and live-music. In the night of 26th to 27th there was a big fire at the location that brought a 4 decade history to grave. The location, as it was, don't exist anymore as the damage from fire was too heavy. Currently investigations are going on what caused the fire and how this could happen. At the moment the Oefenbunker is collecting donations and the search for a new location is going on. It's not necessary to explain feelings in words, because it can't be described, neither details, but if you want to support the venue, follow up the link:

https://www.oefenbunker.com/donaties/

the website is in dutch language, but we give you a quick translation for the support here:

"Last week, a devastating fire struck De Oefenbunker in Landgraaf, a vital space for emerging music talent. This venue has given countless artists a stage—now it's time to give back.

Help rebuild this community hub and support the bands affected by donating to NL62RABO0146017986 t.a.v. Stichting Oefenbunker Live."


At this point we are pleased to inform you, that together with the Oefenbunker manager and team we could find a solution and alternative location for the upcoming Rituals Over Limburg III fest. The new location will be at Nieuwe Nor, which is located in the city of Heerlen (NL), which is also very close. The sound/light technicians and support will be also from Oefenbunker Staff. So, to all who already booked a hotel, its very close. We updated already all informations, so you can get a closer look here. It's impossible to put the feeling for what got lost into words, but its also important to look always forward! So, the new Oefenbunker will be glorious. We won't let our friends from Oefenbunker let down and will accompany them until the new Oefenbunker is ready. Again, we thank the Oefenbunker management and Nieuwe Nor for making this festival happen this year.

Joensuussa oli tosiaan kovat iltamat! Pakkahuone tilana oli mitä mainioin ja tunnelmallinen, jokainen artisti soitti lujat setit, joista ehkä Giärmäi nousi omaksi suosikiksi, jos joku pitäisi valita. Setissä oli monenlaista viritelmää, joiden oisi suonut soida kauemminkin, tuntuu että tuosta saisi helposti +30min setin eikä tuntuisi edes pitkältä. Tahman omalaatuinen kasettitekstuurivouvaus oli mieleistä, Vigilantism setti paras tähän astisista mitä olen nähnyt. Moozzhead myllyttää takuuvarmasti, kaikkea tapahtui niin videolla kuin soitossa. Aprapat suvereneeni, harvemmin näkee keikkaa missä jokaista raajaa hyödynnetään äänen tekemisessä, jalkojen alla oleva metallilevy jonka päällä lasimurskaa, jota sitten kengillä muserreltiin.

Tapahtuma jonne ehdottomasti kannattaa tulla kaukaakin, kuten nytkin oli porukkaa vähän ympäri suomea!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / 666 Volt Battery Noise
Last post by Balor/SS1535 - Today at 05:29:06 AM
With the release of the huge (yet interestingly incomplete?) boxset on Hospital Productions, I was hoping to learn more about the project.  However, searching for interviews with Brownstead have essentially been unsuccessful---setting aside one blog with a quote from him discussing the origin of the scorpion logo.

Overall, I liked the boxset a lot!  Consistent and largely solid American-style harsh noise, with occasional forays into other experimental styles.  On a few of the CDs, though, I felt that some of the more interesting dynamics only appeared at the end of the compositions?  That complaint might disappear after a few more re-listens, though.

Thoughts on this project as a whole?  Particular releases?  And, of course, any place to find interviews with him?

Updated some mistakes that were made when my wife helped me type up the list, most notably The Mauthausen Orchestra box set being mislabeled as a Moisture Discipline release.

Removed all purchased items. Everyone that has paid, your orders were shipped. Another batch going out on Tuesday.
