" Timeless Edition is thrilled to present 'In Steel Grey Armour' consisting of the complete reproduction of an infamous and mysterious collage book created by Genesis P-Orridge in 1979 and entrusted to his friend Yves Adrien,
a regular columnist of French music magazine 'Rock'n'Folk'.

It also explores the friendship between the 2 individuals with reproductions of some letters, photos and other artworks that Gen and Yves used to exchange.

The book closes with a few words from the wise collector and current owner of the actual book, recounting his first encounter with the original Genesis collage book thanks to Jacques Noel, warden and smuggler-in-chief at Un Regard Moderne bookshop in Paris."

I wasnt sure if I need it, but when I got it... really nice and recommended!

Also SACRED INTENT has come out as expanded Edition couple years ago. Discussions between Genesis P-Orridge & Carl Abrahamsson.

I had not, thanks for the heads up! Looks like something I should get for sure.

I have been meaning to get this, it looks really fascinating.

But yeah, cut-up stuff. Not very keen on that, something just puts me off in lots of that stuff besides K2 and Stimbox-era Macronympha. I love how the cuts in i.e. Intensive Care at first sounded very "sluggish" but they really grew in me after i learned to fully appreciate the changes in mood and dynamics.

Have to agree fully here, most of the time it comes off as irritating, especially if it comes with crystal-clear production. Then again, I've been on a bit of a noisecore/related binge for the past few days, and that, taken as a whole release, could more or less be considered cut-up noise. Guess there just has to be a certain amount of filth in it to make it appealing.

Agree with your comment about "Intensive Care", too. Definitely took some time to grow on me, and those "switching radio station" cuts surely contributed to my initial disappointment.

The comment about unrest productions got me checking back, it's been 10 years since they were doing the United Forces of Industrial shows. Didn't realise it had been so long.

I would say it's left a big gap in the UK for shows of this ilk

[FreakAnimalFinland]

He no longer lives in UK. I think unrest, Harbinger and Hagshadow all stopping type of activity they had, it is clearly hard to get that many people doing things of the scale these people were doing!

Curiously, ACL live today evening in Turku. Helsinki show was good!

Unrest still alive. Slower pace, but operation still happening.

Got link from enthusiastic Himukalt fan about Horsegirl tape. Its electronic drone and ASMR type whispering voice delivering erotic story.

I love it! Thanks for the tip. Should propably look more into Himukalt stuff overall as well.

Quite sure you know, but if not...this tape is not from Himukalt, but from Jhane P. (False Maria). It was released on Himukalt's new label Ek Verlag as second release. The first one was SMR.TNI - Unrelieving, which is also highly recommended.

New Pharmakon announced. Opening track is at bandcamp now, and full album 0ctober 4th.

Could it be said to be even more musical than before? Indeed, it is all the way music, with bass riffs, synth tones, hoarse vocals sung like for band music.. Surely there emerges layers of electronically processed noises on top of it all in later part of song, but yes, indeed, song. Not entirely sure what to think yet, but probably wait full album before forming further thoughts.

I like this one a lot. Very strong vocals, which are unlike the ones on the previous albums. More growling than screaming, or however it can be described.
Looking forward for the full album and surely will try to attend one of the European shows this autumn.

New Rocker #5 with The Rita is a great issue. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview and it touched on some familiar topics from past interviews but it flowed well and felt like a natural conversation between two close friends having a down-to-earth talk. I was kind of thinking that Sam has already given so many interviews, what else can he divulge, but this was a very candid and fun interview with clarifications into interesting topics.

It seems like there is a further interest in explosions, machine guns, and even percussive sounds. Could there be live events with orchestrated ammunition, fireworks, and percussion in the future? Time will tell...

I know it's been mentioned previously but great to see the magazine find its footing. The quality of the paper and final product is leaps and bounds better than the first issue.

Agonal Breathing interview is excellent as well and can there be someone more experienced and closer to the subject matter in Death Industrial as a mortician and death care industry professional?

I actually bought this issue specifically for the insight into the Red Light District history and can't wait to dig into that next.

Side note: I know there was previously a thread for print media / magazines / or similar, but had trouble locating it. Feel free to move this to an appropriate thread.

P.S. Never been in such agreement with the reviews, specifically for Bizarre Uproar "Final Apocalypse", JSH "Rev 13:6", Richard Ramirez "Eye Contact", Viodre vs. A Fail Association, and Sawn Half "Sink" which are all exceptional releases this year.

Favourite cut-up noise albums, if I may ask?

I don't listen to the style enough to have constant favorites. I've been listening to Developer (also Ahlzdeveloper) and Kazuma Kubota often. If we were to include rough sound collages, Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck is great, like his split with the Beast People.

The "slow noise" topic got me thinking about the pacing of various noisy styles, and that's led me to wonder about the "Postmortem" style of electrioncs.
Is there such a thing as fast-paced postmortem? Or does postmortem assume a bit of a crawling tempo?
I would love to hear some recommendations.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I doubt, at least not fast in "classic way". If it starts to resemble fast noise... then it probably won't be called "postmortem" anymore, yet like discussed in slow noise topic, sometimes it is hard to measure what exactly is fast if there is no beat. Like if oscillation of synth is not slow waving moody dark tone, but high speed oscillation, is it still... slow? Probably if added elements are slow, like vocals or samples have slow delivery.

I just got the magazine yesterday, along latest issue of Untitled. Probably mentioned elsewhere, but when Untitled came out, I was quite amused, since about 20+ years ago put out zine called "Untitled Journal". It included all sorts of weird stuff. Mass murder ideas, beastility vhs reviews, and that types mostly outrageous stuff, with very dark humor. Seeing new Untitled noise zine come out was like "nice!".. haha.
I quickly browsed through Rocker reviews, but not yet time to read more than checked out what is being said about BU.

After the Harsh Ways Fest, things got little cluttered. Car broke down saturday on the way to fest. Drive shaft broke and had to get van toed all the way back to Lahti next day. Trying to get all mail sent out with just riding bike..
Finns been "spoiled" again with couple really great new noise podcasts episodes this week and been so immersed with new recordings that haven't had time to listen almost anything at home.

[Moran]

Have you heard anything that could be described as "power acoustics"?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I think it was used by... Damion Romero / Speculum Fight? Since the 90's.

Just listening Vihanmiehet "I" LP here. Hearing they will be doing more, and I had recollection "I" was vastly more lo-fi than "II". Perhaps, but in other hand, LP rotating just as I write this, this is just more of loud amplifier era BU, than what he is doing these days, but in general, the Vihanmiehen vibe is there! I got one guy from USA who wrote and asked for Vibanmiehet LP, put smile on my face instantly.

Was talking with some friends the other day about harsh noise listening, and partially inspired about the SLOW noise thread was thinking, what kinds of harsh noise would be best suited for QUIETer listening (or do you think HN strictly requiers the VOLUME)? I've loved the recent Dead Body Love reissues, and feel some of the less frantic, more sludging tracks are a great fit. A lot of tasty destroyed cassette rumble steadily grinding forwards.

[FreakAnimalFinland]

DBL crunch has so tasty sound, and it sound heavy without being loud. I think it is mostly about the impression that noise makes. For example, does it sound loud, even if played quietly? Or that sounds are so tasty as well as consistent volume (like DBL) that you don't need to blast it. I think some bands are not bad, but simply require you to crank up volume to hear it - especially if there is a lot of variety on volume.
