With the release of the huge (yet interestingly incomplete?) boxset on Hospital Productions, I was hoping to learn more about the project.  However, searching for interviews with Brownstead have essentially been unsuccessful---setting aside one blog with a quote from him discussing the origin of the scorpion logo.

Overall, I liked the boxset a lot!  Consistent and largely solid American-style harsh noise, with occasional forays into other experimental styles.  On a few of the CDs, though, I felt that some of the more interesting dynamics only appeared at the end of the compositions?  That complaint might disappear after a few more re-listens, though.

Thoughts on this project as a whole?  Particular releases?  And, of course, any place to find interviews with him?

Very nice box. I'll just lazily copy-paste my comment from the Best of 2024 thread:

The 666 Volt Battery Noise - Unblind Discipline Power Annihilate Survive. Good noise, especially Slaughter Prod/Mother Savage/Pure stuff, but I wouldn't say it's mandatory. It's also very expensive item and in the current day economic situation, maybe not the first release to get. But judging by the quality of the release: sturdy cardboard, high quality images, huge poster (that no-one is going to hang on the wall), hardcover book with lots of images and poetry, and the overall cultural preservation work of unearthing this from obscurity, makes it one of the top releases of 2024.
