Last post by HateSermon - Today at 01:28:32 AM
I've made a special art edition out of the the remaining artist copies that I have. Same covers as before, but each one has a unique 1 of 1 collage on the inside. Limited to 10 copies, and I'd prefer to only send within the US. Email hatesermon@gmail.com if interested. Just pay postage.

Richard Ramirez + Contagious Orgasm – Different Substances (SSSM)

20 minutes in length, but so much is done in that time. Incredibly detailed. Deep, ominous metal resonating percussive strikes. Cinematic field recordings and accenting electronics. Incredible collaboration.

Quote from: Minus1 on December 31, 2025, 01:48:56 AMI'd love to know how this got reworked. Maybe the booklet explains? (Cus' fuckit I bought it anyway.) 😂

Imagine it as a "best of" sound collage from the series.  It's all odd and confusing, as that era of the band tended to be anyways

First listen of 2026 was...

Spate - Dogmono (Sinkhole)
Very harsh and abrasive electronics, yet so mysterious.  Wondering how the sounds are made.  Wondering what the insert story have to do with anything on the disc.  Curious about the imagery.  This guy really knows how to confuse the listener while simultaneously giving some of the harshest feedback roars you can hear.  Lovely.

I don't have any links to post, but something I'd like to bring note of is the media's focus on groups such as 764 and similar extortion networks, and they keep calling it an attack by foreign state actors on the youth of America as well as an attempt to destabilize Western civilization according to some media sources.

I think it's very interesting seeing a satanic panic happen all over again lol, especially since this time it seems a lot more confusing than it did in the 1980s (conservative Christians versus certain subcultures,) now it just appears to be several groups targeting and labeling everything as a satanic pedophilic network, including conspiracy theorists on all sides of the political spectrum.

gear/tech/etc / Re: Sourcing Junk Metal
Last post by MALVM - January 02, 2026, 06:33:14 AM
I used to hunt that sort of stuff down quite a bit back in the day. Industrial sites, salvage yards, auto wreckers, steel mills, welders / fabrication shops were all sources. That was a long time ago and metal prices are different now.

Proximity to industrial districts and the ability to transport certainly help. For the sake of lightness, a small sheet box with some rusty springs, wires etc had plenty of great results without having to wield around larger stuff.

I recall many fabrication shops in my youth had scrap metal bins near their dumpsters, but they are less common now as metal theft increased. I recall many smaller welding shops etc would just leave remnants near their dumpsters and frequently had 3/8" plate scrap. but that was a long time ago. 
Working in trades I knew of many people salvaging, even stealing new metals from employers. It was often assumed many of the underground explosions in metros were scrappers getting into live mains, heh

-- those interested should look up the documentary "Scrapper" for free on youtube about people who salvage active bombing ranges. It's one of the crazier docs I've ever seen.
