GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Looking for 'ritual PE'

Was going to say Golden Purifier is indeed top tier. Any stuff like it is appreciated, and even rougher!

RxAxPxE was also enjoyable, remember them from a collaboration with Ride for Revenge. Bringing up black metal; I guess my vision is something like Ildjarn, but entirely PE, no black metal in there?

[Incapacitants]

Incapacitants - Incapacitants (Urashima)
An interesting recording that Urashima put out here, as this is a far cry from what Incapacitants is known for.  However, what they are known for is not what I like at all, and I actually really like this. A-Side is like a volcano boiling.  You can tell there is a greater sound waiting to be unleashed but it never comes through.  The restraint is great.  B-Side demonstrates a noisier approach but recording quality of direct to tape doesn't totally shred the ears.  Instead, this noise sits in a lo-fi and crude realm; almost crosses into "shit noise" territory.  Great stuff.  My case for solo Mikawa being the best Incapacitants continues to be proven right.  Great stuff.

Golden Purifier is incredible.

Totally seconded! Can't believe I didn't remember to bring it up.

Noise as social organization around a genre, I have zero interest in that anymore.

Noise as a non-genre specific sphere of sonic possibilities, approaches, and frameworks for sound, I still utilize that in my music.

Reading this thread also reminded me of another project I used to listen to quite often: Fanaticism.
It's obviously not pure P/E — some tapes lean more toward death industrial, others are a bit more ambient.

"Ecclesiastical Reich" could be a good starting point if you feel like exploring.

Seconded! The initial(?) 9 tapes were all great atmospheric death industrial. Very rarely getting (close) to the power electronics realm but definitely a series of releases to check out by anyone into death industrial.

In my specific situation, it's not about any kind of distraction,it's about inspiration.
If it's a period I'm not inspired, there's nothing to do. I'm unable to put shit together unless i try to be focused.
And if i try, everything sounds like crap to my ears

I went and liked it. Will return with a more substantial review, but don't have time right now.

In my mind a ritual is slow, and that confuses me.

To me, something ritualistic is more about repetition. I mean, in both Eastern traditions and Western occultism, magic words and mantras are repeated continuously to induce a trance state in the practitioner.

From this point of view, I'd say that HNW could be considered ritualistic in a way.
