NEW RELEASES ANNOUNCEMENTS / Out Now: Heat Signature, Pierc...

Last post by blowfish - Today at 04:21:08 PM

Heat Signature - Trench Trapped
Americanoise act Heat Signature return in 2025 with "Trench Trapped", a new full-length assault for Input Error. Never-ending labyrinths of mud-caked tunnels and ditches are traversed and dissected one-by-one, and the first glimpse of enemy combatants along the way is met with rampant, clip-emptying fire. War is both hell and the unknown.

Additional mercenary support sounds are included from Keith Brewer, Ahlzagailzehugh, and Diaphragmatic.

Piercing - Kites Of Nephthys
Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as Tribe Tapes, No Rent and Detachment Programs.

Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere.

All of these aspects are present in "Kites of Nephthys" and some of the projects self-proclaimed "best tape loops" were set aside waiting to be used on this very album.

Hazy liquified field recordings and rhythmic electroacoustic junk loops, paired with slowburning mixer feedback and blown out crunch that builds up only to fade away...these are the kinds of sludgy gurgling sounds Piercing uses here in order to evoke imagery of Egyptian burial processions when women would gracefully slather their loved one's corpses in exotic oils before permanently laying them to rest.

Flea Apparitions - Ampullae Of Lorenzini
Pittsburgh isn't just all about the harsh noise scene but has a vast variety of sound artists & mood crafters.

Deep in the well known underground, Flea Apparitions has been a mainstay of local performances. Lorne Zeman creates atmospheric tracks that correspond with his visual artwork & graphics. Sometimes wearing his self made masks of defiance and serious intent while performing. Dive into the swirling madness of species Ctenocephalides.

Available now, with audio samples, at Input Error.

Copies will also be available from the artists and the following fine distros:
- Parallax Recordings (JP)
- Satatuhatta (FI)
- Scream & Writhe (CA)
- Skeleton Dust Records (US)
- Soundohm (IT)
- Tobira Records (JP)

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Final Solution (NYC Power ...

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 10:53:06 AM

Probably worth to mention in this topic that anyone into FS may want to check out Special Interests #17! It has LONG Final Solution interview that takes like... third of the magazine? Something like that. Questions made by Olsson, then recorded over the phone and transcribed into text by Henry Rial and John Grimaldi. Then finally, re-edited and added with further material by Ed just couple weeks before publication. Lots of good stories, things you may have never heard before. Some rare photos and so on.
For Finland and Europe, magazine is easy to get (Freak Animal, Satatuhatta, Tesco, OEC, Dunkelheit, Skuggsidan, soon Cold Spring and more) but for north america one may have to check out when S&W has copies or order from Europe.  Or perhaps Detachment Programs has some for sale!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: PURE (rrr sub-label)

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 10:45:17 AM

For myself, the most notable thing about it is how brilliant it was from a business perspective.

As far as I can make out the fellow makes a kind of living from a more regular second-hand-record business, and while RRR and Pure as a label didn't exactly enjoy losing money (who does?) I have serious doubts that he has made much from the experimental and noise output over the years.

Having lived in MA for 15 years and make regular visits to RRR talking to RRRon and knowing what I know about him I'm guessing that "living" was being able to barely make ends meat for many years off his shop and label, if that.

I remember RRRon mentioned few times that after he stopped label most of the distro, and became again like regular second hand vinyl store, he actually had better income now, that during his most active years. Perhaps the uprise of vinyl hype and influx of new vinyl buying youth was part of this, that just happened same time?

I would say that many times running label / distro / store, money that comes in, is most often that almost invisible process. It may be years of pouring in resources and finances, but at some point, there may be the moment when suddenly you got so much of stuff in storage, no need to spend much for getting more, and many years after "investments", you are in vastly different situation when focus is on selling things you have paid for decade(s) ago and no more heavy burden investments and purchases to do and you got endless amount of inventory that is still in demand.

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 10:30:03 AM

Howie rules. Sometimes you got to envy guys who speak and articulate what they have to say in such clear way. Not just semi-random rambling that one has not yet even decided what exactly to say before already talking, hah.. Moment where Oskar asks about if he's been making harsh noise with over-riding tape signal and Howie appears genuinely surprised and saying he has never done that, and I am not entirely sure can it be that there is tape noise makers who have never tried to blast it all into red, in ways that everything decays?

GENERAL VISUAL ART / LITERATURE DISCUSSION / Re: sotos

Last post by TerminusTDMG - Today at 03:32:48 AM

A quick update for those interested: I'm currently working on the script for a piece on Tool. No anticipated release date since that seems to always bring bad luck. I imagine it'll be around the same length or perhaps a bit longer than the one on Pure- there's more ground to cover in the text, but less preamble re: Sotos in the first place. Hopefully you'll all enjoy it. I'll make a post when it's out. Thanks to all who have listened and found other material of interest on the podcast.

Live Show Announcements / 24.05.25 Copenhagen: Âmes Sang...

Last post by AS - April 17, 2025, 07:33:25 PM

Public Froth presents their first show 'Natt utan nåd'! Featuring a Swedish invasion from Galme, Tyskertøs, and the legendary Alfarmania - all bands emerging from the coast-city Sundsvall in the north of Sweden. All with close ties to the Swedish label Styggelse, run on and off by Kristian Olsson since 2005. Joining them is Canadian noise project Âmes Sanglantes, along with local support to be announced soon. Prepare for a night of raw industrial and power electronics!

Public Froth and Styggelse will offer a rarely seen selection of cassettes, vinyls, books, original artwork, prints, merchandise and other goods for you to spend your savings on. Bring cash!

Line-up:

Alfarmania (SE) - https://youtu.be/8wqtEHXHxuM?si=rVDqN5zdN2ETfPWt
Alfarmania is a long running project fronted by Kristian Olsson - one of the true stalwarts of Swedish industrial music. The group took its form as a solo project back in 2003 and has since then been active with a steady flow of cassettes, vinyls and live actions. First show in Denmark in 8 years! Expect soul-crushing industrial power electronics and beyond.

Âmes Sanglantes (CAN) - https://amessanglantes.bandcamp.com/
Canadian industrial noise project that was started by Pierre-Marc Tremblay in 1996. Âmes Sanglantes has put out more than 70 releases, on labels such as Hospital Productions, RRRecords and Cipher Productions. Even though the project has soon been active for nearly 30 years - he's not slowing down!

Tyskertøs (SE) - https://soundcloud.com/usch-fy/uberwinden-ist-unter-gehen
With an armoury of analog synthesizers, field recordings and a violin, Tyskertøs crafts a vicious blend of dark ambient and death industrial. Tyskertøs released her first full-length cassette "Sinn von Sein" on Styggelse in 2024.

Galme (SE) - https://youtu.be/GhhXS4MKa-k?si=JMBLwe91VTKweOSo
Galme is back-to-basics Old school Swedish industrial - pure post-mortem sounds. His debut cassette, "Obducentens Hopplösa Sökande", was released on Styggelse in 2019.

+ Local support (TBA)
