Oh, the Susan Lawly forum. Back in my teenage years I used to browse the board and open every window imaginable, in order to read the whole discussions taking place therein. Probably found out, just now, how I'll spend my new year's first day of that. Plenty of good stuff.

There are a couple of one-layer-only tracks on the Lungs CD, but I usually work with a couple of layers. You are right though in that I want to keep it very stripped down and simple.
Big fan of Primitive Isolation Tactics! Always up to something interesting. All the releases are slightly different, but the red thread is this sort of tense investigation and firm steering of the few sounds at hand.
His stuff often reminds me of MSBR - Ultimate Ambience in that aspect. Not sure how Koji Tano recorded that album, but it sure is very simple, fierce and sharp.

The Human Larvae set was in my opinion the loudest of the evening. I was standing close to one of the speakers in the beginning, without any earplugs or protection whatsoever, and had to find my way to the back of the room just to make it out of there alive. Definitely a better experience then, also compared to the first time I witnessed Human Larvae at Harsh Frequencies over Limburg, in the Netherlands. Same energy, but definitely a better sound.
The Grunt set was also amazing and extremely loud. Half the time I felt like my noise was about to drop from my skull. Every bone was shacking. Amazing from start to end.
Anenzephalia redefined the term "bleak" that night. Not being used to witness such legendary acts on stage, it would be pretty hard for me say what was the best set of the evening, since all the acts were amazing and unique in their own way. On a personal note, Brigand Moloch and daughter's stage presence was outstanding. Preaching and sermons by moments, Greek theather stage persona by others. Concert of the year for me.

I would recommend Capers, that is the vibe I get from them. Slow and crude noise. Not sure technically how they make their music, but that is the feeling I get from it. Not much fun really, but when you are in the mood for it, it works fine.

Waking up into first morning of 2026 and put on PRIMITIVE ISOLATION TACTICS "All Pressure Past" tape material from bandcamp. It made me think is there topic like this already? And if yes, there must be hundred(s) of new people at the forum since, so doesn't really matter.
Listening to P.I.T. tape, it makes me think about what other people have commented about project. Some say boring, nothing happening, too slow and simple or whatever. Then other people are exact opposite. Praising textures and the details. I guess it depends on a release, but "all pressure past" is good example where it is not ultra simplistic crackle study, but neither high energy blast. More like slow paced experiment on rough noise surfaces. He won't be overdubbing and editing his work to be somehow technically advanced. Instead, there is simplicity of manually processing the sound. What makes it interesting, is indeed the nuance and detail of the sound. It's not maximal harsh noise blasting, where you would need cut ups and swift changes to "keep it interesting" so to say. Noise may appear in this as if it was broken cable hum and some sort of rotating device interacting. Or let's say something like 2nd track beginning. It reminds me of what I was doing with Grunt "Karike" -CD, where you simply need to strip down noise into pure elements, to be able to appreciate particular sounds. Beginning of tracks sounds as if it would be electric dry grass.. until more typical harsh noise jumps in.
There are masters in simple "one thing" noise approach. Can think of several The Haters works where very little happens. It is almost funny that GX was explaining that it really took until his warm up show for K2 and MSBR back in early 00's that he decided to buy meatbox pedal, as he didn't want to sound like crap next to Japanese sound masters.
I've talked to handful of guys who are nowadays way more into direction of not wanting to hear any tricks. Not wanting to hear technical advances, but prefer good forward driving noise. Sound you can hear being performed and slowly developed. Not "let's give them wow moments".
Of course I do like many types of noise, but the most I have preferred noise crafted live, focusing on sounds that stand out as sounds, rather than layering and editing bunch of things that make the track. Even if it would be power electronics, it is usually better that the sound itself being focused recognizable sounds instead of being build out of multi-layered generic synth sounds.

Quote from: Manhog_84 on December 30, 2025, 10:01:28 PMQuote from: FreakAnimalFinland on December 30, 2025, 11:02:56 AMOne of the key figures of label got murdered and after that it was sort of downhill until label went on hiatus and all the stocks was sold to other Finnish dealers.
Was it the same guy who played in Genocide Wolves?
Europa Erwache released some great weirdo bands like the sci-fi-themed Ufonazi, or dreamy folk-pop of Musta Enemmistö (The Black Majority!). They would probably appeal to "Special Interests crowd". The lyrics of the latter one are in Finnish, but the melancholic atmosphere might be something to be enjoyed.
Yes, same guy. After the incident, work as label didn't appear to be the same anymore. Label did bunch of martial / power electronics / dark ambient type of things.
I am sure some will rules things things out simply due the content and saying music ain't that good. Fact is that there is something that makes it so unique. I suppose I compared before to labels like Warcom. Artists who may be clumsy, weird, outsiders in the noise/industrial. Those qualities makes them stand out in style that elegant industrial artists could not make. Like ARCHIPELOGO SOLUTION. Never remember seeing guy at noise/industrial gigs. Its possible he is, but there was book publishing event in Helsinki with theme of accelerationism and there I was introduced to the guy who made it. Veri & Maa or Straight Arm Salute guys do not really go to noise shows and rarely to any kind of shows. I think latest Veri & Maa stuff appeared in utterly weird Finn comp CD "Operaatio Kotkanpesä" that was project gathering funds for "Operation Eaglenest" and consisted anything from martial industrial to black metal, hatecore, acoustic ballads, rac and NS-rap. Quite something to sit through that collection! It made me ask if next should be WTFAC compilation.

I still have copies of 6 remaining. Not many, but some. Same goes for other volumes. I recall vol 1 is totally gone, rest can be requested if you are missing particular number from the series and placing order.

No other plans for 2026 than Grunt+BU live collaboration in finland. There are plans for releases, both reissue & new.
