The Rita CD has been postponed to September.These are some news regarding my stuff:
Good evening.
I am writing to inform you that a couple of new releases are finally out now.
First of all Elettronica Radicale Edizioni has just released the re-issue of IUGULA-THOR: Opera on CD in collaboration with Old Europa Café and Lake Shark Harsh Noise.
IUGULA-THOR: Opera CD (12 euro) (wholesale available)Elettronica Radicale Edizioni, Old Europa Cafe and Lake Shark Harsh Noise are glad to announce the 2015 reissue of Iugula-Thor's classic "Opera". Originally published on tape in 1996 by Old Europa Cafe, "Opera" was a notable personal piece tha blended noise and power electronics by mixing piercing high frequencies, a subtle and threatening vocal presence and classical music, buried under layers of violent harsh noise.
"...IUGULA-THOR displays prowess in concentrating on the source, some of the manipulations more subtle than others, building upon the expressive nature of the music and vocals with the addition of limited overdrive that tinges the the original sound and leaves the clarity of the sources intact, not unlike a study of the source surrounding the more extreme distortion and heavier overdrive deconstruction..." Sam McKinlay – The Rita
This new edition is mastered by P.NG5361.BANDERA and includes as a bonus "Cuts series", over 20 minutes of previously unreleased material, recorded in 2007/2008 for the "Sex Cuts" sessions.
The Cd is limited to 300 copies and comes in brown digipack, featuring and extensive essay by Sam McKinlay (The Rita) and alchemical artwork by Marco Wertham.

LCB / Wertham - Contempt c-5o collaboration / split tape. 6 EuroANGST is glad to present "Contempt", a brand new release that is both a collaboration and a split between Tuscany's acclaimed extreme noise LE COSE BIANCHE, and WERTHAM, since two decades, Lombardy's supplier of antisocial electronics.
LCB delivers 4 tracks in its personal style, featuring highly saturated sounds and Italian shouted manic vocals
WERTHAM trade mark full-frontal analog aggression, vocal wreckage and explicit samples.
Furthermore, thee tape is completed by two collaboration tracks blending both styles together.
As the title suggests, "Contempt" includes 10 hymns for the socially impaired, focusing on obsessions, disabilities, phobias, predatory instincts and good-old antisocial tendencies.
c-5o, comes in black and white J-Card illustrated by Marco Deplano.

The next ERE release will be "LOUDNESS", the first volume of the Encyclopedia of Radical Electronics, despite being one year late than the original plan due to both logistic and personal issues, I confirm the boxset is in the making and not forgotten and will be terminated before any other project. I confirm that the first box will include 4 C30 tapes and will include Grunt, Bizarre Uproar, Megatsunami, Wertham, Negative Climax, The Rita, Drug Age, Uncodified and a 20 page professionally printed booklet with information about each project, a column by Mikko Aspa regarding "The importante of Loudness" and an overview of "loud" gear. Reservation will be accepted only once the thing will be in the plant. If this time things will go as planned, second volume "Harshness" will be ready before Xmas. I already have received contributions from Vomir and The Haters, rest of line up will be confirmed once all the material is in.
The main problem with the delay was due to the boxses. Once I got all material the factory failed to send me the samples I have requested. When they did they were the wrong kind and once replacement arrived they were going to close for summer vacation. The in September I started a series of works at my daily job that didn't leave me enough time to focus properly on the thing... And now things are finally moving. Thanks to all projects involved for holding on with me. Since it will be limited, only a few distros will have copies.
The following release will be a brand-new CD by Sam McKinlay's THE RITA, entitled "Raymonda (Stage Arrangement of Women)". It should be released in September, so distros you can already get in touch, I already know the wholesale prices. Act fast.
A European unit of Death Pact International will release a 4 track tape for Nil By Mouth in the next months. Aldo will also release the third and final installment of Wertham's Lombroso trilogy. Line-up for this release should include The Grey Wolves, Wertham, Barrikad and Uncodified.
I have just finished mixing the new Caligula031 release for UK's cult label WRATH. Format and title will be announced soon. "Galerianki" has been postponed a bit since I have asked a special guest to contribute some vocals in Polish mother-tongue. I am almost done mixing the "Balkan delights" release that should be released this year by Total Black.
There are several other releases on the go, will update you when the times come. It will be a very hot summer.
An extensive interview to yours truly is currently featured on Noise Receptor magazine from Australia. This is possible the longest article regarding my stuff ever done... Hope you will find it entertaining. You can order it from here:
https://noisereceptor.wordpress.com/Last but not least, due to limited time I cannot run a proper distro, which means I will trade only limited amounts. I will no longer trade big amounts of material outside Europe. Mailing costs have become too high to face, not too mention the completely crazy custom office taxes.
