Toteslaut "Embalmed Isolation" cassette. Death Hymns.
Not what I would expect from Toteslaut but, then again, Toteslaut isn't always the same every release. Sometimes you get industrial noise, sometimes martial, sometimes... something else. This one is more like ignorant death / black metal trapped inside of a vacuum sealed latex body bag. Second track is the most noise-like, while tracks 1 and 3 are kick ass noisy metal bookends. Good tape, worth picking up.

Toteslaut "Kamakshi" cassette. Death Hymns.
Straight-to-tape sounding industrial noise with heavily delayed vocals buried in the mix. Now this is more my speed. Love the artwork on these releases, too. Heavy rubber xerox filth.

Violent Shogun - Banishment of Tyranny (Absurd Exposition)
It dropped in the final days of 2025, but this disc will be ranking highly in my final rankings for "Best of 2026."  Second listen in as many weeks.  After putting it on today, I had my laptop closed at work to sign a few documents.  About a minute into the first track, I said "nope, need to find a copy this instant," opened up my laptop back up and emailed the label. 
Remi's mingling of tape and synth work here is so damn satisfying to listen to.  Every sound burrows into your ear and grabs your attention.  There is harsh to be had, but it never feels too overbearing.  There is a lack of density to it that allows for dreamier tape sequences to have their prominent share in the mix.  The man told me he is using a pretty sparse set up, but it just feels like so much more is going on.  Maybe Remi doesn't want to give away too many secrets to how the sausage is made, and I totally love that.  My imagination runs wild as I picture the environment that bore these noises, and I smile.  Fantastic release.

Cinematic decaying soundscapes, haunting dark ambient and lofi neo-classical, like music of the early days of horror films reimagined.

GENERAL VISUAL ART / LITERATURE DISCUSSION / Re: What are you reading

Last post by Atrophist - January 28, 2026, 06:01:00 PM

Spent the Christmas break making one of my periodic attempts to get to grips with M. John Harrison. Re-read The Course of the Heart, and finished The Sunken Land Begins to Rise again. I think the key to "getting" it (if that's quite the right word) is to accept that you won't be explained everything, and much of what's going on will remain a mystery to you.

Also made another attempt at his space opera Light, and this one I just don't gel with. Too many displays of superficial brilliance to push through, for a fairly minimal actual substance. There is also the everpresent streak of nastiness, morbidity and misanthropy in his writing, that I actually enjoy in his regular novels. But in a sci-fi space opera set several centuries into the future, it is just too much.

I also read a couple of lesser-known Patricia Highsmith novels recently, The Blunderer and Deep Water. They're good, but I still think the Reipley series is the best thing she's done. Plan on getting started Richard Bradford's Devils, lusts and strange desires : the life of Patricia Highsmith soonish.

Is there any european distribution for the tape? Ordering from the US would be about 30 Euro!"

Just started reading an Ernst Jünger book with 4 essays. Never read the classic In Stahlgewittern / Storm of Steel. Will buy that next if I like this one.

Which one? A book with 4 essays, doesn't ring a bell, but I've only read English translations

MOGAO - Hidden God CD (Hiisi Prod, 2023)
Thought I had lost this CD forever, but finally it fell out when I was browsing for something else. Been wanting to revisit it for quite some time.
Beyond the rather weird cover, it's a very unassuming noise album if you don't pay attention (or if you just don't get it, hah). Rattling junk, frying electronics and feedback. Done to death, sure, but it's all in the details here - the perfect live room recording, the way the sounds just crack when it gets too much for the recording device (whatver that is), the instability, the dominance of brittle yet fierce mid frequencies, all the small debris flying around and the damn on-the-edge delivery. Fucking careless mastery. The whole package is bursting in the seams. My favorite noise album from the last five, six, seven years or so? Might just be. Had to scroll through a couple of distros to find another copy to give to a buddy just now. The world needs to know!

The new Narcolepsia batch is out now, check it out. It includes my project (Doktrin) as well so it's a bit of self-advertising, but it's still great to see the label is keeping its activities.
