Well, I begin my GO listening journey tomorrow. (Yes, I'm very late to the party.)
I'll start with the All Is Suffering compilation.
I bought a fuckton of GO today based on your reviews / reactions. You guys are always right, yes? 😂
And I think this guy is very thorough and convincing:

Casket Mush - Ruptured Through the Depths of Human Remains (2022)
Pretty no nonsense gorenoise with a distinct Last Days of Humanity influence.

this one is pretty wacked out gorenoise. influenced by LDOH and Torsofuck, it's actually pretty well done. the clean bass has a nice presence, and the pitch shifted gurgles are a force in the mix. drum machine is also great and right in front. the samples miss a lot more than they hit, but it's kept to a minimum. also has a fairly short runtime, like most pure gorenoise does.

I would not completely dismiss the idea that the internet can be referenced or used as subject matter in noise but I do not think anyone has really pulled it off in a convincing way. I remember being kind of miffed about this when I first heard Terror Cell Unit's Data Industrial Complex since it deals with similar themes but never quite punches me in the gut.
I also agree with other posters that the internet is a new reality and not a particularly nice one. There is a lot of shit you can stumble across on the surface web now especially on Twitter or X that you once had to actively seek out. Still there is one angle that might actually work as a strong theme for a noise album - the internet as a simulated battleground where people safely vent their social and political frustrations then log off and return to their pathetic lives as if nothing happened.

Quote from: brutalist_tapes on March 26, 2019, 03:57:31 PManother early posh isolation release in this category that is actually pretty good is the first damien dubrovnik, even though i must admit i am not so interested in this style generally, unless it is melancholic AND very brutal at the same time.. but this record is a pretty good example of that late 00's thing (i guess..?) apart from the usual suspects like prurient
I really like early Damien Dubrovnik, as well as Body Sculptures. I think Posh Isolation really hit the sweet spot around that time.

I hear at least 700 tickets sold in advance, so at least that. The venue is sold out at 900, not sure if it was.

Quote from: impulse manslaughter on January 16, 2026, 07:41:09 PMWas this a festival or just Merzbow playing..? I can't image more than 200 people showing up for this in the Netherlands.
I can't believe it was anywhere near a 900 people audience, but who knows! Several hundred anyway, which is quite impressive – especially for a mid-week show. And yes only Merzbow, and Metsäkirkko, not a festival. Really quite varied bunch of people attending, with lots of young people in their 20s.

Death Agonies/Piss Horn - Split (Survivalist)
A split that shows off that subsection of the Canadian noise scene flirting with the punk & metal realms. Most will know the parties involved here for being in names such as The Endless Blockade, Intensive Care & Column of Heaven. These kind of projects served as great gateways into noise when I initially came from circles such as that and noise rock. Was curious to listen back and think what my opinion is now.
Overall opinion is that while this stuff is not bad, it is certainly lacking in what really gives me joy out of noise nowadays. Death Agonies side is fairly standard "creepy drone and sputtering oscillator" type sound, akin to Bastard Noise. The end of the side trails off into this creepy whistling wind sound that I found myself closing my eyes to peacefully.
Side B with Piss Horn took me by surprise with it having more of a PE presence. I am familiar with Bloomer's history in noise; Stegm shows the man can do something in this territory. But I always thought that Piss Horn fell more into harsh noise. Man, guess it's been a while since I've heard this split. This side holds my interest more than Side A, especially as it carries on with some harsher sounds being peppered in.
Overall though, I wouldn't consider this to be something essential to seek out. Plenty of other stuff from Bloomer, Andrew Nolan and Eric King that is far more interesting to grip. Still glad I took the time to give this a listen.
Magnetic Coroner - Black Hole (Gracious Host)
Probably closer to the kind of material I would be more likely to pop on nowadays. Recently returned to the loop work of Weston after we set up a trade together. It's been a while since revisiting this specific title though. With this coming from 2019, you can still hear him finding his groove with what Magnetic Coroner would become as a project. Some parts move slower than others, but transitions are pretty on point, even this early on. The journey has been a fruitful one for the project since, but early glimpses of genius are great to look back on in cases such as this.
