KONSERVATIW - Homogen, LP

Homogen is rooted in the heavy electronics style of the 90´s. Its grinding rhythms, distorted frequencies, and cold female vocals paints a dystopian atmosphere thus capturing the genre's unyielding essence. Tailored for listeners of uncompromising industrial music, Konservatiw offers a bleak vision of the future.

Mastered by Grant Richardson.


PHENOL INJEKTION - White Hate, LP

Phenol Injektion returns with a unfiltered and nuanced Power/Heavy Electronics attack on the theme of racial hatred. Feast your ears on pure white hate and behold the white revolution!

He said in recent interview that he is using AI for graphics only and so far not yet for music. He didn't say he would not, but at least not so far.

I didn't buy ticket yet. Waiting what would be the warm up artist(s) and consider it layer on.

Merzbow is coming to Finland in January. Knowing his enthusiasm about AI, has anyone seen his shows lately and what can be expected?

Last post by Squalor of Spirit - October 30, 2025, 10:15:52 AM

Culver - "To the Snakes" c40 (Spirit 1)
Two tracks of slow moving and seductive drone. Bleak, desolate gear, expertly paced and layered. Devil in the detail.

Atrophist - "Fleshlike Distortion" c52 (Spirit 2)
Maladjusted electronics. Moments of light soon snuffed out. Black psychedelia. Searching, grubby postmortem following its own obscured internal logic.

Malaise 57 - "True Elevation" c44 (Spirit 3)

Transcendent, nauseating churn from northern Finland. Liminka Industrial Noise! Programme repeats both sides.

Sexualised Medicine - "Antidote to a World of Flesh" c50 (Spirit 4)

Claustrophobic and cold hearted experiments of malicious intent. English power electronics for the discerning connoisseur. Programme repeats both sides.
Special edition in VHS box with bonus tape of raw material and additional artwork also available.

Email squalorofspirit@protonmail.com to order. UK based. Limited copies will also be available from Tribe Tapes (USA) and Scream and Writhe (CAN) shortly.

It's nice interview, in a way that despite talking to mr. Human Larvae since very early of his noise making, I always thought Broken Diode was the first project and HL followed. Learning few things in all interviews!
Back in those days, he was considering organizing GRUNT german tour and tried to book some autonomous centers for places. I remember I told this won't work out, and soon he found out it didn't. Haha! Nothing had been announced and it was all very early stages planning. I was quite confident it wouldn't be happening. At some point it was very much possible for noise (or pe) to tour and play multiple gigs in one country. Now, I do see it happening, for example Finland. Max Eastman, Pain Appendix, Violent Shogun, Putrefier & Evil Moisture... all have toured Finland, doing like 3 shows which all have enough crowd to justify it. But to tour in Europe now? 3 shows in germany during one weekend or something? I think it may be unrealistic to expect anything else than tag teaming with some sort of DIY circuit bending workshops, sound art scene and music shows... but noise gig for noise crowd? Not sure how much of that could be done.

Perhaps it would be nice to get some current touring artists impressions about it. There is new WCN with glass-in-your-face approach artists who mostly does live, but the sheer logistics or how live show climate has changed, if it has, isn't covered in public episode.

It is good that these interviews were done. I don't think much of "heavy electronics" / power electronics stuff is around, in podcast format. I think doing interview during festivals is challenging, if one wants to focus on live shows and meet the people and how to squeeze in interviews that are somehow relevant.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: SHIPPING TO USA
Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - October 30, 2025, 08:52:17 AM
In my store, USA shipments are back. There is no letter mail, so basically all is FEDEX shipments, small box, like former letter was is 20 euro, big box, any size, 30 euro like it was before. So, of course, recommended to order big enough order that 30 euro shipping seems reasonable! In reality, of course, it doesn't require to be that heavy box that this flat rate shipping fee is much cheaper than I actually pay for.

This applies also for europe. Letter mail is nowadays about the same price as parcels, so there is no reason to really use letter mail.
Fedex appears to be fast and reliable, so could be step up in service and all that "where is my untraceable letter" confusion no longer...

New releases should be coming in matter of days!

The Haters – New York About The Polywave CD
A survey of contemporary and historical performances in New York by The Haters, formed in 1979 by GX Jupitter-Larsen. From the liner notes: Feb 22, 2025: It was an installment of "Digging Through Time" staged at TV Eye in Queens. Performing as The Haters, GX scraped a shovel against a large wooden clock he was holding up, while John Wiese and Crank Sturgeon scratched and sanded their own shovels. The venue was well past its capacity. The audience smashed up the oversized clock after GX tossed it into the crowd. The audience demanded an encore. They were not disappointed. (#436) June 7, 2001: A variation of the "Dirwyn" performance (amplified calculator against a small fan). GX used his Untitled Title Belt for additional sounds. Staged at the gallery Scrape & Pry. (#284) Dec, 8, 1991: The first ever clici-clic performance. A "clici-clic" is a hand-held hole-punch mounted with a contact-mic for amplification.

Drew Dobbs - Sophisticated Savage K7 [1987, Sound Of Pig]
Only solo tape from this Big City Orchestra collaborator. Casio SK and emulator noise, as such the looped uncanny approach shares commonalities with Hands To, albeit the Jerman approach is to create pure audio sludge. On this tape rather the loop work is more cartoonish, sometimes serving as a backdrop for sampled speech from television broadcasts.

The Peterson Mixes / EHI - Tow Series K7 [1995, Tapes Of Wrath]
Tapes of Wrath honcho using The Peterson Mixes alias for leftfield found tape collage, the EHI side is more traditional in comparison but still immensely enjoyable no-fidelity noise. The case is modified with the hub posts melted off and the entire thing covered in some sort of plaster, a banderole insert contains the tape itself.

Bob Marinelli - Sheen Of Hypocrisy K7 [1997, Not On Label]
A very early Marinelli tape, liner notes detail it as "vocal power electronics, organic noise performance" although power electronics in this context means granite slab noise as opposed to what you'd expect of the genre. The style here is more monolithic than the spastic pace of later releases, bearing more in common with Ramirez or OVMN tapes of the era, so it only makes sense that both of them are thanked here.

Other 90s era Bob Marinelli releases will soon be reissued via Tribe Tapes as part of the 2x CD Distorted Vision Collection, compiling both Bob's tracks and those from split partners Outermost, Flutter, Government Alpha, and Facialmess.

Ελληνας εισαι, σωστα ; Εδω κολλαει ο Χιος κλειδωστε τους γερους και τις γριες μεσα και παρτε τους τα κλειδια.

Once read this a greek meme came to mind where an outsider journalist -scumbag nonetheless- during elections was saying 'Lock the oldsters inside and take the keys away from them' . Replace keys with computers here. Sorry, this is unacceptable.
