It was pretty damn hot year! There was so many to be mentioned, so I did mention them.
2023 releases:
Grunt - Vieraat Aivot CD
Best one of this year for me. It's just damn good CD. Two a bit different kind of gigs, spectacular sound especially on the first gig. Second gig ending with a special treat.
Contortus - Truncated 3" CD
Contortus is always a mean deal, but "Truncated" has it's own kind of venom. Brooding, shrieking and overall very uncomfortable. Excellent 3" CD.
Primitive Wings - Slow Urge tape
I liked the tape just a tad bit more than the CD. They are both solid, great releases but the more distortion leaning sound of the tape takes the cake for me.
Moozzhead - Thighmaster CD
Moozzhead delivers, and I quiver. Harsh noise master.
Cov Ops - New Agenda CD
Clearly seasoned genre veterans behind this anonymous project. Everything that you could want from a power electronics album.
Decondition - Like A Mirage Or A Dream CD
Got this just before the year ended, and caught me by surprise! Very sold industrial/pe'ish CD.
Will Over Matter - Exceed the Recommended Maximum tape
Best WOM release to date, I could listen to a whole CD of this stuff. Minimalistic electronics, but with a feel. Not like monotonous bashers of early WOM.
Umpio - Brain Pain CD
In the same category with Moozzhead, you know what you are gonna get with Umpio. It's like good fine dining, leaves you astoshined.
Amek-Maj CD
Best new project of these days. Came and took the scene by storm, with his charming personality and ball busting noise.
Commando 15 - Vauhkola tape
As contrast to Amek-Maj, C15 expresses extreme control of the vicious and unpredictable feedback, which results into a highly interesting project.
The New Boyfriends - Universal Noise CD
Still growing... Mysterious CD!
2023 reissues:
Macronympha - Whorechestra 3CD
A mammoth! 3 CD's worth of Macro-goodness. No complaints.
Violent Onsen Geisha - Wagamama Na Ofukuro LP
Name has always been familiar, finally got some meat around the bones in my head. So delicious meat!
Incapacitants - Repo LP wooden box with extra tapes
The tapes really add up to the whole thing, Repo itself is a killer album, but throw on top two live tapes, fuck me.
Dead Body Love - Puke On My Corpse CD
It's like getting buried by an avalanche of warm volcano rubble, expect you enjoy it.
